Mine:

Brothers & Sisters - I was obsessed with this show from the very first episode and may or may not have shed a tear when I found out it was ending after five seasons. I didn't like the ending, it seemed rushed and story lines were left hanging. Twats.

Friends - Of course. Who didn't love Friends?

Accidentally On Purpose - I'm pretty sure this was cut after the first season so can't have been very popular but I loved it!

Without A Trace - My favourite crime drama, I was devastated when it ended. Why couldn't they have taken NCIS?! Why Without A Trace?!

Angry Angry

Your turn...

Frasier

verylittlecarrot · 10/11/2011 12:11

Eli Stone. Why they pulled it I don't know.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 10/11/2011 12:59

Six Feet Under. I know it ended in a completely non-negotiable way, but I still cherish fantasies about them making a new series. I could watch that programme for ever and a day.

Dirty Sexy Money. A proper guilty pleasure. Think it only lasted two series. I loved it.

FlashForward. Nonsense but v enjoyable. Think they canned it because they realised they were writing themselves into corners they couldn't possibly get out of. Grin

Not cancelled but poached by fecking Sky Fecking Atlantic and therefore lost to me as I refuse to give the Murdochs a penny of my money:

Nurse Jackie Sad
Mad Men Sad Sad

In Treatment

Candid · 10/11/2011 15:48

Heroes
Sunset Beach!!

tallulah · 10/11/2011 16:07

Survivors

paulapantsdown · 10/11/2011 16:13

I LOVED Sunset Beach! It was the most hilarious programme. Evil twins returning from the dead, botoxed 'actresses' etc ... was marvelous. Thanks for reminding me. I wonder if its available on a box set?

I was sooo annoyed when Flash Forward was cancelled as I felt I had invested time in trying to remember the studip storylines. Probably a blessing in disguise!

Clayhead · 10/11/2011 16:14

Deadwood.

I was gutted - it was definitely a five series show and it was a waste it ended after three.

DaydreamDolly · 10/11/2011 16:14

Friends
Mistresses (have they actually ended it?)

Sevenfold · 10/11/2011 16:14

katz · 10/11/2011 16:17

Dharma and Greg
Friends - although hated the way they ended it, never liked Ross and wanted Rachel to get together with Joey
Dawsons Creek
My So Called Life

Inghouls2 · 10/11/2011 16:17

Green Wing... God I loved that series, just brilliant writing and acting.

katz · 10/11/2011 16:18

i liked Accidentally On Purpose too

LtEveDallas · 10/11/2011 16:19

Firefly
FlashForward

...and something that I cannot remember the name of - there were aliens, body snatchers, a big lake, a couple of kids.....something about a virus....main characters were a chief of police and a doctor, and i think the doctors feckless brother was going to be some kind of hero..in fact I think the doctor mum was body snatched???? Gawd, no idea, but I loved it at the time and was really pissed off when it finished.

fluffyanimal · 10/11/2011 16:21

Another vote for Flash Forward here.

Outcasts. So much potential.

There was a Sci-Fi series on BBC2 a couple of years ago about missions to Mars and Venus, it showed the astronauts training and one got another pregnant then she lost the baby and later in space kept hearing it crying, can't remember what that series was called but I loved it.

Farscape. But at least the fans fought back and there was some resolution via the mini-series.

From my childhood - Tripods, axed before they got to the end of the story. My first sense of betrayal by TV execs.

all the sci-fi series that I get into get cancelled.

fluffyanimal · 10/11/2011 16:22

LtEveDallas - I remember that water aliens thing too, another great sci-fi series not continues. Argh.

Voidka · 10/11/2011 16:22

ER. It was brilliant even when they killed off my favourite character. I have to console myself with re-runs.

Whatevertheweather · 10/11/2011 16:22

Heroes
Brothers and Sisters
Private Practice (although super pleased Greys Anatomy started last night Smile)
Damages

notcitrus · 10/11/2011 16:23

Farscape
Firefly

And Angel which just needed another half-dozen episodes to finish the story properly.

This Life - but suspect they ran out of steam so best they quit when they did

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 10/11/2011 16:23

LtEveDallas, yy I remember that too! Can't remember the name though and don't know what to Google for ...

LoonyRationalist · 10/11/2011 16:24

I watched My own worst enemy on dvd recently & loved it, gutted that it was cancelled half way through.

I agree with tigercametotea on Northern Exposure too. I've recently loved watching reruns of The house of Elliot as well - wish they would bring that back.
