    Moonlight
    Blood Ties

    If I like a vampire series, it's doomed to a short run.

    Was It Something I Said? <----A British panel show on quotations. Loved the pilot, knew it wouldn't see a second season. A shame.

    Firefly (I miss that series so much)
    Bunheads (so sarcastic, so witty, so missed)

    That's all I can think of right now!

    Firefly!!!!
    Dollhouse
    Caprica
    Terra Nova

    Firefly was badly mismanaged by the network. They made an insane decision not to show the pilot (which introduced the characters and set up the whole show), so it was difficult to tell what was going on. Also they would pre-empt it without warning and show it at an unscheduled time. It was so frustrating!

    There was a TV show 3-4 years ago called Perfect Couples, with a bunch of different actors...the only one whose name I know offhand is Olivia Munn. Anyway, it was really funny and unique and I hate that it was canceled quickly.

    Also, Ringer with Sarah Michelle Gellar. It was pretty cheesy, granted -- but I got hooked on that and they gave it a TERRIBLE rushed & crazy ending when it was canceled. Ugh!

    There was a show called "Life" on NBC with Damien Lewis - before Homeland. He played a cop that was sentenced to life in prison for murder. He gets exonerated after 7 years or something, and is let back on the force, and the larger arc of the series is him hunting the person/people who framed him.

    I thought it was fabulous. NBC didn't seem to think so and did not promote it very well. I think it lasted 3 seasons.

    Always, Firefly.

    And Carnivale.

    Definitely second Carnivale. How could they leave us hanging like that??

    Third! Pushing Daisies was also great. I'll add one more, Eli Stone (but now that he's on Elementary, that ain't gonna happen).

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

    Definitely Firefly. I didn't discover it until after it was cancelled.

    One most won't remember, but as a kid I loved the one season of "Time Tunnel"

    The Sopranos. My favorite show of all time. They crammed too much plot into the last few episodes and never really pulled it all together. David Chase just did the stupid onion ring "dont stop believing" final scene because he ran out of time, imo.

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