If I’d wanted to do a theme for the A-Z challenge, it easily could have been “TV shows I made a habit of watching live and that ended after two seasons or less.”
To name a few:
Better Off Ted
Dollhouse
Firefly
V
The Zeta Project
Better Off Ted aired for two seasons then was canceled in May of 2010. Unlike everything else on my list, this was actually really funny and I think anyone who likes the Office could easily fall in love with it. In case you’re wondering what you missed, here’s a three minute trailer and a 1 minute trailer below it if you’ve got a shorter attention span. : )
Three minute trailer.
One minute trailer.
I’m almost afraid to admit I like Big Bang Theory, because then some TV executive somewhere is going to replace it for another staged “reality” TV show or more reruns of 90’s TV programming.
If you’ve had a show cancelled on you, let me know what it is and why you miss it!
Well for starters LOST. Even tho it had a long run… it still could have ran longer.
Great post. I hope you didn't jinks the Big Bang Theory cause I love that show!
Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles is one I think of of the top of my head. I get mad when shows have a fan base and it's ignored by the company like "Chuck"…
Bring it… to the challenge "B" is for Brilliant!

I love The Office and own them on DVD. I haven't heard of this one.
my hubs LOVED better off ted.
don't curse big bang! please don't curse it!
seriously though, the same thing happens to me:
MY SO-CALLED LIFE, DEAD LIKE ME, HIGHER GROUND…
Dollhouse and Firefly – Whah! I still miss those shwos. Tragic that Firefly never got more than a few measly eps and a movie.
Great post!
Classic Star Trek. Yes, I'm that ancient. It came out when we were living in the Philippines, and the Navy got show a season behind. I was thrilled to see them new. Well, we got back and they canceled the show after that half season we were home. And this before syndication. It was several years before we got to watch any reruns.
Big Bang Theory is one of my favorite shows at the moment.
The show that I loved was Kidnapped with Timothy Hutton. It was totally addictive, story line was interesting, and the acting was top-notch. I don't know why it was cancelled. But Netflix does have the whole first season, which tells the entire story of a single kidnapping.
Better Off Ted was one of those shows that i wanted to watch, but was on at a bad time for me. Sigh.
They better not cancel the Big Bang Theory!
Firefly tops my list of favorite cancelled shows.
I miss LOST, for sure. 🙁
Thanks for sharing the trailers!
I really like "Big Bang Theory" as well. I miss the show "Joan of Arcadia". It only lasted two seasons.

Firefly 🙁 I'm still sad about that. I would have liked to see Dollhouse receive more of a chance, too. I'm looking forward to Cabin in the Woods, though: Joss Whedon produced it, and apparently it's got his smarts all over it.
A-Z @ Elizabeth Twist
I liked "Pushing Up Daisies" a few years ago (maybe more than a few) and "Community" altho that show as a concept had really run its course.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I've always wanted to check this show out. I wonder if I can still find it on hulu.

It hasn't been cancelled yet but Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe is on its last leg. What a funny show! New follower here by the way!
Pleeeeease don't jinx Big Bang Theory! "Bazinga" has entered our lexicon both at home and at work. The show just keeps growing.
Greetings! Although I've never seen Better Off Ted, I so know what you mean. It happens quite often to me too that I get into a show only to have it cancelled! Argh! Good luck this April!

I must admit, I've never seen any of those shows. I guess I'm not a big TV watcher. I got hooked on Lost and now I make it a point to watch Once Upon a Time on Sunday nights. Other than that, I catch the news. Thanks for stopping by.

Yes Firefly is still lamented for its early ending, years and years later!!!! I think the Big Bang Theory is still going strong though!
Veronica Mars, Pushing Daisies – I can join you on that list. Better Off Ted I heard was good and yet never watched.
Firefly was good, I saw the season on DVD during some traveling days.
I liked men behaving badly
