What are a couple of canceled shows you would like to see back on the air.

For me, I really enjoyed watching 'Jericho' and 'Firefly'. I thought they were really good shows that were canceled prematurely. There has been talk of bringing back 'Jericho' for the last year but nothing has come of it yet.

What say you?

HBO really screwed them over

I never had HBO so i never followed that show but i have seen one or two episodes and it seemed like a good show. Westerns are also my favorite genres of movies so i'm sure i would have enjoyed it.

BTW Yeager, how long was that show on the air?

I believe two seasons. After HBO canceled it they were supposed to make 2 two hour movies to complete the story lines but they never made them.

I think i will see if i can find it online and watch all the episodes. TV shows don't often translate well into full length movies. Still it might be worth the look. They did make a movie out of 'Firefly' called 'Serenity', it was decent enough but i had really enjoyed the TV show but it only lasted 14 or 15 episodes.

Ian McShane was awesome in that one, I only watched a few episodes, rented it from Blockbuster, and he was great

Jericho I'm glad was canceled. It was a late night soap opera. The 2nd season was a lot better though, I'll give it that.

Firefly is possibly my favorite TV series ever and I didn't watch it until the DVD.

Others I wish hadn't been canceled are Journeyman and Dead Like Me, as well as several Andy Richter shows on Fox. There's a few others that I would have liked to see stay, but I can't say for sure they'd be good, but they had potential.

Jericho needs to be brought back. That was a fantastic show.


I hear the Sci Fi channel may buy it and start developing it. I can only hope.

Great story and solid casting.

I would have to disagree on this one, I thought it a great story line and they were really starting to develop the story before it got canceled.

Firefly is possibly my favorite TV series ever and I didn't watch it until the DVD.

I didn't know about it until after it was canceled but my friend had the episodes on dvd and i was hooked even though i knew it was canceled.
