    freaks and geeks. unbelievably stacked cast but the network never gave it a dedicated time so no one knew when they could watch it. then it got cancelled before they aired half the episodes citing poor viewership

    Sort of counts, but KOTH.

    Fox took it off the air FOUR episodes from the finale to “make room for The Cleveland Show” of all things, the worst offering from those Family Guy clones imho.

    Luckily, Adult Swim was kind enough not only to pick up KOTH, but to air those last missing episodes as well, and I have it all torrented by now of course and it was easy to find, but still, fuck Fox for that one (amongst other things, but I want to punch the specific exec that decided to do that right in the eye just one good time.)

    Lazor Wulf. Two seasons, with a forced change in animation studios between seasons, didn’t give the show enough opportunity to grow.

    Tuca & Bertie and Firefly as well. Maybe Lower Decks too

    If streaming shows are fair game, Final Space. So much passion poured into such an excellent production and Netflix axed it after 3 seasons.

      This one hurts me too, but last time I checked, it’s neither canceled nor is it green lit for a 2nd season. It seems to be in some weird Limbo.

    Threshold really should have gotten more than one season. Unfortunately, I don’t think anybody’s ever heard of it.

    The Pretender. Mostly because they had just had a huge cliff hanger. And the made for TV movies never got aired in my country.

      I wonder how the person who’s decision it was to cancel firefly feels about this now. Do you think they were under a lot of pressures because of funding, or they just weren’t that into the show, or was there a new show they wanted to divert funding to. Wonder what the story was there.

      I don’t think The Expanse was really cancelled rather than it was ended at a story point that makes sense to continue from sometime in the future. There’s something like a decade long time skip and a huge thematic shift between books 6 and 7.
