    How about The Tick, both the animated show and the short-lived live-action version. Offbeat, but I thought it was hilarious :)

    Yes! The live-action Tick deserved way more than the dozen or so episodes that were made. Really funny!

    Swan's Crossing.

    Definitely thought I was the only human alive who watched that.

    Firefly
    Freaks and Geeks
    Phineas and Ferb (my kids are addicted and I'm getting really tired of listening to the same episodes).

    New Amsterdam (2008).

    A New York homicide detective is cursed with immortality.
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0928414/?ref_=nv_sr_1

    Hell yeah! I loved that one. Was sooo sad when it ended.

    And a few more for the list:
    Leverage
    Doll House
    Psych
    Torchwood

    I am not on the firefly train solely because I didn't know if it before it got canceled and I don't want to feel everyone else's pain.

    Leverage for sure, what awesome characters

    Let's see, in no particular order:

    ...
    Manimal (Yes, I DID say Manimal, and I will NOT watch what Will Ferrell will do to destroy it!)
    ...

    I'm astonished that anyone else remembers Manimal. One of my all-time favorites. It never shows up on the rerun channels or the streaming services, not that I've seen. I guess the fact they only made 8 episodes may have something to do with that!

    Six Feet Under. It ended so well and at the right time; I'm just being selfish because I miss it.

    How the hell did this thread get to page 7 before anybody pulled out Farscape?!

    Invasion
    Believe
    Sirens
    Jake 2.0
    Harper's Island (only set up for a single series, but I loved it)

    I'm sure there's British ones I can think of than Sirens (which I loved but admittedly it was a bit crap... plus it's just weird now seeing Robb Stark as a gay paramedic.)



    Also I'm legally obliged to say Firefly due to wearing a 'You can't take the sky from me' t-shirt in my profile pic.

    So many people want Firefly, yet they say it had bad ratings....
    Methinks they lie.

    They didn't leave it on long enough for anyone to find it. There were only 13 episodes.

    Firefly was an amazing show, but being that Fox pre-empted it for every stupid sporting event in the free world no one was able to watch it enough at the time. It had a very loyal following, but the giant number of people loving it now are people that never even watched it when it aired, they're the people that saw the movie 'Serenity' and then went back and watched the series and were like 'why the eff would this be cancelled?'

    Also I don't know if this counts, because there is supposed to be a second series (which I don't see happening tbh) - Les Revenants

    I was going to put that myself! Everything still seems to be saying 'filming end of 2014' but the kids in it are only going to be getting older... I'd hate to see it go as it is though.
