TV shows like Kaos, Firefly, and The Queen’s Gambit: what do they all have in common? They were all either canceled or just ended! There are 30 canceled shows that we all binged in this poll that left us wanting more. Untimely cancellations and endings of these shows left the fans upset and even heartbroken because they could not get to see what happened next. In these polls, though, you get behind the wheel and decide whether they should continue the show, make a reboot, or leave it as is because the show ran its course.

Let’s vote!

Firefly

"Firefly cast with spaceship and Earth backdrop, highlighting canceled TV show themes of continuation or reboot."

Ron Glass has passed away, and Adam Baldwin turned out to be a psycho evangelical Christian bigot. Not to mention Joss Whedon's #metoo moment. I adored firefly, and I remember it by supporting the actors, but I've let it go. As we all should

Jayne Cobb was my least favorite character back in 2002 and again during my 2024 rewatching. I agree. Time to move on.

They made such a mess out of Serenity, killed off the best characters and messed up the story line. It makes me worry how badly the reboot could be

Firefly was perfect, it didn't suffer the inevitable decline that all long running shows suffer when they're kept going by accountants long after the creatives involved have run out of ideas.

Too much time has passed to continue it. Ron Glass has passed away, Whedon killed Wash in the movie, all the other actors are 20 years older.

Never be able to continue at this point, and reboots rarely even remotely live up to expectations. Better to keep our memories.

By far the most overrated show ever made by the most overrated sub-par writer Whedon. It's not the worst show I've ever seen, not even really that bad. By I can't stand the rabid fan base who act like you just kicked their puppy if you say anything remotely critical about it.

I world have _loved _ this to continue, but too much time has passed. (Also, see @Nimitz’s comments.) I still wold love more stories in that universe, though; I think this could be a good reboot!

    Was a really great comedy. It was a queer show, written by mostly queer writers, with mostly queer actors, and a few golden allies, like Rhys Darby and Tika Waititi. It's really funny, and if you're straight but don't mind seeing two guys kiss (that's as heavy as the romance gets, mostly), you should watch it. It will make you lauhg.

    I prefer binging an entire show, season after season, so Our Flag has been on my Watchlist because the creator, David Jenkins, planned for 3 seasons. Since Max cancelled the show, and it doesn't appear any other site is picking it up, this is as good a time as any to binge it.

    Most of the tweaks to the character I didn't mind. But making him a sociopath was utterly insulting, and incredibly obtuse. Sherlock operated by his own rules, but he had deep empathy and a rock solid moral compass. It was watching those traits interact, and engage with the outside world that made him so fascinating. I've suspected that if he were "diagnosed" now, he'd be somewhere on the autism spectrum.

    Option 5: Find and destroy every single copy of the final season episodes, and additionally, find a way to cleanse all the viewers' memories of that egregiously implausible and unpleasant finale. -Then- leave it as is.

    It was obvious straightaway that it was never going to survive as a network show. Too unconventional. The only way it could have gone on was if they killed off everything that made it stand out, and started churning out formulaic paint by numbers mediocrity. Better the 22 exquisite episodes we did get than that fate.

    Really should have been given the 5th and final season the creators intended. The abrupt cancellation left a lot of untied threads dangling. Raising Hope used some of the story lines originally intended for Earl, but there's no character overlap. A lot of guest appearances by cast members from Earl.

    I dunno, i would really love to see how the original story carried on, even with a different cast. The writing was what made that show. Yes, the cast was wonderful.....but the cast was largely made up of nobodies at the time (and arguably the show is what kick started their careers) The ideal really would be if they brought back the original writers, and original cast, who are now parents with their own kids set in 2000-2005ish. Make it an hour long dramedy, splitting focus between the new kids, and the original cast. We could get some closure on the original story line with flashbacks as they're trying to relate their own history to that of their equally freaky and geeky kids.

    Any attempt to revisit the show would risk tainting the legacy. Let's be happy we had those seasons that we did, but let's not try to catch lightning in a bottle twice.

    One of my favourite ever series. Got better with each season. If they wanted to bring back a Christmas special I wouldn’t say no, but a continuation would suck the soul out of it.

    We were so annoyed when this one didn't get a second season. It didn't fit into the paint by numbers template, so it got ignored. Ten years on things have gotten even worse. We have networks that make the same show three times in three different locations, and then run them back to back.

    I loved that show, looked forward to it every week. I normally don't pay attention to tv shows until they've got at least 3 seasons under their belt, but i liked the Ioan Gruffudd so i took a chance. His follow up series Harrow, was also fantastic, that one actually made it to 3 seasons before getting canceled.

The story was....just nonsense, matt dillion was....just not the right choice for that type of show. It's like they were trying to mash together Twin Peaks and Lost, and failing to understand either show, or why they were loved every step of the way. Leave it alone. In fact, don't even bring it up.

    Oh, hell no. In the early seasons when it was monster of the week it was good. Later on when they went "all Christian Apolocalypse, all the time" and dragged it on and on for multiple seasons I had enough. I absolutely loathe multi-season serialized storylines, and when a show switches from episodic to serialized in the middle of the run as far as I'm concerned it's a form of bait and switch. And a sign that whoever is telling the writers what to write has run out of ideas and should have wrapped the show. It was originally intended to run 5 seasons, and, damndest thing, it was not long after season 5 that it jumped the shark and I bailed.

    One of the best shows to come along in MANY years. Every character plays brilliantly off the other. Annie Potts is my fave. Reagan Revord was absoLUTEly adorable as younger Missy. I know one very Christian woman who loves the show, which surprises me as it portrays faith kind of two dimensionally, Though the plight of Mary's attempts to keep her family in the faith is heroic.

    I avoided it when it started, because the childhood described on Big Bang Theory didn't seem appealing. At the beginning of season 5 I started recording it, and the first 4 were all available on streaming. And yeah, Young Missy stole the show. You can see where adult Missy had come from for sure. Nine months with her legs wrapped around Sheldon's head.

I've always liked Emily Osment, I liked her character on Young Sheldon, and I don't even notice a laugh track. If this show doesn't take I hope he puts her in something that catches on.

    This one always had a fixed end point, set when the Big Bang Theory creators had Sheldon's father die when he was 14. And really, "young" Sheldon wasn't young Sheldon [E: any more]. The next stage would have been "College Sheldon in California". That would have required changing absolutely everything but Ian Armitage, and that's assuming he was interested in continuing in the role.

    I gave up on it after the first season -- it felt like the showrunners had no 'grand vision' and were just making things up as it went along, adding more mysteries but never really feeling like there was an overall point to any of it. I gave up on Silo for the same reason -- just like "We have no idea what to do with this, so we're just going to keep throwing random things into the mix and hope people like it."

    Yup....that's pretty much the consensus. First season was fantastic, and while i get that the entire premise of the show necessitated a rolling stable of actors.....that really wasn't a good idea, at least not with who they chose as the replacements. It was also ludicrously expensive to make, and being a netflix show it was very unlikely to make it past 3 seasons anyway.
