If you don't live under a rock, you've likely enjoyed a TV show at least once in your life. Captivating stories and interesting characters what's not to enjoy, right?

Well, sometimes no matter how many viewers enjoy a certain TV show, it still gets canceled. This happens so often that plenty of people have at least one show that got away. And so when someone asked folks online what they are, many didn't hold back. That's how we ended up with this list. So, let's dive in, shall we?

I had a feeling it wasn’t going to catch on, so I skipped it when it was first broadcast. Which worked out well, because it meant I was able to watch it on DVD in the correct order, and then the follow-up movie immediately afterwards.

    So much this one. It was obviously doomed from the start though. Too unconventional to survive on a broadcast network. I console myself with the thought that’s it’s better that we got a couple dozen really good episodes, and it didn’t last long enough to jump the shark and become painful to watch. Because I would have stuck that one out to the bitter end. Available on DVD.

    This is what killed tv watching for me. I knew starting it that it was not going to make it. It just proved how network television cannot do art. What's the point of starting a show with ambition if the network won't honor that ambition for even 1 lousy complete season. Instead we got a half 3/4 season, a break, and then whatever that was that they called season 2. TV is dead to me.

    Loved this quirky series - absolutely nothing like it since.

    Being a TV show fan nowadays isn’t an easy task. While it’s fun to watch new stories, many times you don’t get to watch them until the end. And it’s because quite often shows get canceled before their conclusions. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    In fact, people are expressing frustrations that it’s not worth starting a fresh show because it’s more than likely that it will be canceled before reaching its natural end. Online you can find plenty of articles listing the TV shows that have been axed, showing what a massive phenomenon it is. Here, in this Rotten Tomatoes list, you can see what shows were canceled alphabetically. If you add them all together, the number is likely going to be high.

    It ended on a cliffhanger that the father of “Earl’s” black son -wasn’t- the black man his wife had an affair with. I’ve always wanted to know where that was going. If you liked Earl you’ll probably also like the show that followed it - Raising Hope. Made by the same team, and used some of the planned stories that were intended for Earl. Lots of guest appearances too.

    This one really p!ssed me off it was brilliant

    To talk a little bit more about this topic, Bored Panda got in touch with TV and movie critic Serena Skybourne and TV show reviewer @online_tv_critic

    The latter mentioned that the canceled TV show they can’t get over is “Charmed.” And the way they try to keep the show at least a little bit alive is by following the cast, the crew, and fan pages online. 

    Meanwhile, Serena said that without a doubt she rues the day when “Anne with an E” was canceled. This coming-of-age drama was based on her favorite classic novel ‘Anne of Green Gables’ by L.M. Montgomery and sadly ended after the 3rd season. “I can’t get over the fact that this show was not renewed for another season, especially when other shows that are terrible continue to get the green light.” 

    Serena said that “Anne with an E” was more than soapy and superficial entertainment. “It provided valuable life lessons and was truly beneficial for me as a viewer. It really validated my own love for feminine creativity and having a romantic soul like Anne does.”

    There was another show with a similar premise from 2008 called New Amsterdam (not to be confused for the recent medical drama with the same name). We liked it to, in the same way. It only lasted 8 episodes, so we are clearly out of step with mainstream tastes.

    Another one like this and 'John Doe' was the one-season 'Flash Forward' (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1441135/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_Flash%2520Forward). "A special task force in the FBI investigates, after every person on Earth simultaneously blacks out and awakens with a short vision of their future - all set in the same brief time period." Interesting premise. Some people had no 'Flash Forward'. Speculation is that when that time arrives, they will no longer be alive. Questions are asked regarding "Free Will" vs. "Predestination". People look for folks that showed up in their Flash Forwards to see if their visions match up. Some people who *had* a vision attempt to unalive themselves to see if 'the future is written in stone'. And a few people are discovered who *stayed awake* through the event...

    It started off good, but I think it's success surprised the writers and they kind of didn't know where to go with it at points after the first season. It got very off track and was all over the place, like it was unsure what direction to go in. They made the right call the end this one. They just weren't prepared for it.

    The interviewee pointed out that the show was axed for multiple reasons, like business priorities and declining viewership numbers. Usually, when any show gets dropped, these kinds of reasons tend to be listed as why it happened. While maybe it’s beneficial for companies, it surely isn’t for the viewers.  

    For instance, when “Anne with an E” was canceled, fans were so crushed by this that many hashtag campaigns and even a petition were hosted asking Netflix to renew the series. 

    Now that this show has been canceled, Serena tries to stay connected with the beloved series by talking about it with her Instagram followers and friends, rewatching it, and reading the books it was based on.

    I loved the plot, the cast seemed strong, and I’m a sucker for dinosaur related sci-fi shows.

    From my understanding it had decent ratings following the finale, but didn’t fit into Fox’s schedule lineup the next season, so it was shelved and eventually cancelled. Big cliff hanger…ugh, just wanted more!

    I really liked that one, would have loved some more seasons. I read that it got cancelled because even though it was very popular, it was super expensive to make so needed to be super popular to make it worth the costs. But I can't be bothered to research which reason is true ;)

    Just as there’s a trend of canceling new TV shows, there’s also a Hollywood trend of reboots and revivals of old ones. Here, again, on Rotten Tomatoes, there’s another list of TV reboots and revivals, and it currently has 61 items. 

    In fact, there’s a whole TV show based on this phenomenon. It’s called “Reboot” and it stars such names as Keegan-Michael Key, Judy Greer, Paul Reiser, Rachel Bloom, and many others. The series is about the cast of a fictional early 2000s hit sitcom that is getting rebooted, hence the name. Ironically enough, this show was canceled after its first season. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Our interviewee @online_tv_critic said that they believe that a reboot needs the original cast to properly work. “I don’t think I would like a reboot of a show I really loved without the original cast or crew involved.” 

    On the other hand, Serena had mixed feelings about it. In fact, she called it “a double-edged sword.” To her, it’s exciting to see beloved characters and fictional worlds brought back to life or loose ends being tied up and getting fresh perspectives.

    At the same time, she thinks that not everything needs a reboot. “Some stories are better left as they were, without Hollywood doing a desperate cash grab. Nostalgia is very powerful and sometimes studios try to capitalize on it, to the detriment of the story. It’s also a very safe gamble to continue to develop a pre-existing story rather than taking a risk and creating something new.” 

    Serena even gave an example – “Pretty Little Liars.” The show had multiple failed spinoffs and revivals like “Ravenswood,” “The Perfectionists,” and “PLL: Original Sin.” Yet, none of them did justice to the original show. “‘Ravenswood’ was laughably bad. All in all, if you’re going to do it, do it right.” 

    Just as we said in the beginning, being a TV fan nowadays is risky. One day you’ll fall in love with a series and the next it’ll either be canceled or rebooted/revived disrespectfully. Who knows how long these TV trends will last; maybe sometime in the future they’ll perish and enjoying television will become not as heartbreaking again.

    I bailed on this one when it got heavily involved in “time war” plots. To each their own, but I find those tedious. And it makes it way too easy for writers to get lazy and use “time magic” to solve storytelling dead ends they’ve painted themselves into. You can never depend on anything you “know”, because there’s always the possibility to retcon it on the fly.

    The show only got good when Manny Coto came on board. Also when the Reeves-Stevenses wrote episodes (i.e., season 4). And then they finished with that stupid "frak you" to the fans and Rick Berman and Brannon Braga were just jealous that others dealt with STAR TREK better than them (because Coto et al were actually fans and not trying to shoehorn stupid premises into Trek) and got it cancelled on purpose and they're talentless hacks and I may still have some issues about it.

    They left it open to do more in the future, they did all the right foreshadowing needed for the Laconians to come and take s**t over, they included a lot about the beings in-between the gates and there is little resolution with them until the last 2 novels. I am a massive fan of the series and I remain hopeful that they will pick the show back up where they left off in the next ten years or so, let the fan base grow. It's seriously amazing and really great science fiction from a hard sciences perspective, if you haven't seen it check it out help it's fanbase grow! Btw amos has the most bad a*s arch by the end of the novels.

    If any fans of SGU want to see 'Dr. Rush' in a *very*different role, find 'Hamish Macbeth' on streaming. (It's on Acorn, FreeVee, Pluto, Prime, and Tubi.) It's based on a series of murder mystery novels. Robert Carlyle is PC Hamish Macbeth, the one man police force in the small coastal highland village of Lochdubh, Scotland. He's more interested in keeping the peace than in arresting people, and his goal in life is to not get noticed and promoted to a different post. Excellent show.

    I remember this show. Too bad it ended quickly, it should of had another season or two. The story was just getting very interesting, the U.S. is in the midst of another civil war as it was divided into two unions. The U.S. fighting for its existence while this new government that consists most of the western U.S states, is trying to cover up its involvement in the attacks hoping to take over all of the eastern U.S..
