Most disappointing TV cancellation...

Just finished Stargate Universe, again. Somehow, I keep hoping to see it come back. Worst possible way to cancel a show. Sure, it had a rocky start, but I felt it really came into its own. And then, just as it gets to a season ending cliffhanger, boom. Done. And just like the crew of the Destiny, the show jumped away. But far, my most disappointing TV cancellation. Edit: For the Firefly faithful, yes, it is also on my list of all time disappointing cancellations. Reason it isn't number one is because it got a movie, books, comics, and plenty more to flesh out and provide closure to that universe.

  • The fact that they cancelled Dark Matter crushed my soul... The show had great ratings and a clear vision for two more seasons, which makes the cancellation even more depressing. [spoiler]Sorry, all out of salt.[/spoiler]

    Honestly it’s not the cancellation that’s bad it’s how they handle the finale when they know it’s the last series. For example, after 9 seasons it was probably time for The X-Files to bow out as the whole thing was getting weaker than an old lady’s pelvic floor, but did they really have to end it like [i]THAT[/i]? It’s like they just chucked the show out of a window and threw a grenade after it. Shows being cancelled ‘before their time’ are sad and all, like how everybody expected to be making Farscape season 5 and then were just told at the end of season 4 the network was dropping it (or Firefly but I don’t particularly rate that as much as everybody else seems to), but there’s nothing worse than a ruined and rushed finale after you’ve invested several seasons in the show, and everybody knows beforehand that it’s the last season. Game of Thrones for example.

    • Happy town Tera Nova Flash Forward I have long had a theory about cancelled shows. Why not start a network that will pick up shows that other networks cancel? The cast and crew will be able to stay on but at a reduced salary since they were cancelled from the original network they aired on. We can call it The Second Chance Network.

      • I haven’t watched a lot of shows that have been cancelled. I think Teen Titans is basically the only one. At least I think it was cancelled. That ending didn’t feel like an ending, anyway. The only other one that comes to mind is Invader Zim, but I haven’t seen that in a while, and don’t actually remember whether or not it had a disappointing ending.

          After years of disappointment, I now have a rule.. I refuse to watch any show until it officially wraps up with a real finale. It’s hard sometimes. Especially when it’s a super popular series. I feel like I’m missing out and I have to dodge spoilers like a professional boxer. But I’ll never again have that sinking feeling when a beloved series gets canceled after a couple seasons.

          • False. The worst cancellation of a TV series, of all time, was the cancellation of Marvels, Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon. Now that, was a show that could’ve made history.
