Eureka... Loved that show!  I think it could easily have continued for several seasons.  I heard Warehouse 13 got the boot recently, too.

I liked Rubicon. That was canceled after the first season.

I adored 24. I haven't been the same since it went away. I'm really excited that they're bringing it back for twelve episodes.

That might be it. Everything else kind of ran its course.

Is it going to be renamed 12 or are they 12 x 2hr episodes?

Still covers 24 total hours, but they just skip the boring hours..

Firefly (such great characters and dialogue, could have gone so many directions)

Stargate Universe (why did the others I didn't care for go on forever but they cancelled this one?)

Defying Gravity (ok it was derided as Dawson's Creek in Space, but I thought it was kind of cool)

Batman: The Animated Series (fantastic series - I would pick any episode over any of the movies)

The Sarah Silverman Program (I guess I'm weird but I thought it was hilarious)

Seraphim you're awesome.  I'd build you your own Twiki if I could.

I forgot this one. I was really enjoying this show. I wouldn't mind another Stargate show. There are so many possibilities with the Stargate premise.

Yeah it was only on one friggin season and had such a cool premise and it ended on a total cliffhanger .  But "The Amazing Race" we get like 20+ seasons of.  Sigh.

Hawk was cool.  He was kinda mystical and didn't he have a cool hawk ship that would swoop in all stealthy-like?

I wanted that ship when I was a kid.

The landing gears are frickin claws, I want it now.

This guy makes them out of wood. Years ago, I tried to wheel and deal down his $200 price tag but I had no luck. He makes them to order.

Nice list.  I'd add Gunsmoke, Hogan's Heroes, Twilight Zone, The X-Files, and Seinfeld.  Hollywood should just accept they're not going to come with anything better.  Honey Boo Boo and Keeping Up With the Kardashians?  Please.  ::)

Ok this is embarassing, but I was sick one night and watched like 4 HBB's in a row.  It was awful, but I couldn't stop.  However it did pay off, because I got to hear this choice line from one of her sisters which I'm still laughing about:  "Babies don't come from your butt! They come from your biscuit."

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (Season 2)

Seemed like every episode was "How a football playbook saved future Earth".
"In my Earth, we have this thing called the Statue of Liberty play"
Hawk raises eyebrows.
Spaceships execute Statue of Liberty play and defeat invaders.


I'm surprised no one mentioned Twin Peaks.
