Samurai Pizza Cats. Whatever happened to creative anime? All we ever have anymore in ninjas and philosphy discussions...

Arrested Developement

Hilarious but apparently didn't bring in the numbers.

'Cos the marketing department failed monumentally and the network wouldn't give them a decent time slot. Just like Family Guy and Firefly.

Arrested Development the Movie is currently being filmed, btw. Full cast.

Definitely Fawlty Towers. It was hilarious, and they only made 12 episodes.

Megas XLR and Samurai Jack.

They had good runs, actually, but neither one got the time they deserved.

I miss Coop and Jack :(

Genndy Tartakovsky keeps on insisting we will see Jack again and the story will be finished, but I don't see that possible with Mako (voice of Aku) dead.

Evangelion. Although it seemed conceived to last exactly as long as it did, it really left me wanting more. I hated the first couple of episodes but by the end of the third, I was hooked. If they still make anime like this (or Cowboy Bebop), I'm not aware of it. Shows like Afro Samurai are good at really embodying some of the cooler aspects of anime, but they don't really bring it all together like Evangelion did.

Sports Night. It got a second season, but it never really had a chance. Good characters, snappy scripts. A proto-form of West Wing that would follow.

Also Firefly, of course...

Yeah, I just read an interview with David Cross which is what made me think of it. Presumably they had a lot of left over ideas so we should get a good movie.

Pushing Daisies. That was a wonderful series that was artful, original, and extremely well-written. Did it last? Sadly, after 2 seasons it was done. I guess people don't like quality, they want the same shit they've seen over and over again

Hell yeah, man. It was so original, well written and had some interesting characters.
The only problem with it was, that there were too much explaining. The narrator explained the whole bringing back to life thing more then 20 times very slowly.
p.s it had cleavages

Yeah, should be out sometime next year.

Also, why didn't I think of Invader Zim? I probably see my avatar so much it doesn't mean anything to me anymore.

Also I think its a shame there will be no more Black Books but at least with a small number of episodes, every single one is classic.

I'd love to see another series of Black Books. Such a great show. I had a friend that reminded me of Bernerd, though he wasn't an alcoholic.

I want to see Firefly come back, even if Wash is dead.

I'm rewatching Dark Angel. I forgot how much I liked that show. The ending to the second season was meh though.

Drawn Together. Wouldn't have minded seeing 2-3 more seasons before killing it off.

Hell yes! Still, the movie will be out later this year :D

OT: Bucky O'Hare. Hardly anyone seems to remember it now, but it was an awesome show.

Code monkeys, sure it wasn't the most high brow humor but it was funny. The 8-bit art style really helped it be memorable. Luckly G4 is showing some competence and showing reruns.

Also though it never got going Heat Vision and Jack looked like a fucking awesome show.

Clone High was an awesome show. I got into it years after it was cancelled though which is a shame. They should finish it off and show some of the episodes in the UK too. :(

Eerie Indiana. The only children's show that didn't insult their intelligence.

Samurai Jack was great, and I'm so glad that they're bringing Futurama back for another season!

Stella. It was one of the few Comedy Central shows I actually found hilarious, but it only got one season.

Enterprise. They were just started to crank out good episodes when they unceremoniously beheaded it and left it to wriggle and die

And yet Voyager got seven seasons. Overall it was all right but some of the episodes were hack jobs with plot holes through which you could fly a dreadnought. Yet it had time to improve while Enterprise didn't. Thanks, Berman and Braga. Thanks so much.

Half this thread has been full of Firefly love. Did you read it before you posted?

3 South. The worst part is that it hasn't been on the air long enough for many people to notice it.

I loved that show but it only lasted 1 season before the NFL squashed it

Sure Futurama lasted for six season, but it wasn't enough. Enough is never enough when you're watching Futurama.

WHY DID THEY CANCEL FUTURAMA!! AAA! *drops from a giant mountain*

Also Samurai Jack, because it was so super-awesome and yet it didn't even get to the end of the story... And that makes me a sad pandaMANKILLER!!

Oh, and Fate/Stay Night could've been a bit longer. Especially since the morons placed non-existing scenes from another plot line (from the game) and made people believe that stuff like Shiro vs Archer are going to happen. Nope, maybe you should play the game if you want that...
