1993-1995 more or less. Way too damn short. Ted Turner openly condemned it as being too violent so they dumped it during the merge...
Oh jeez, Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles... That show got screwed in every orifice. It aired at friggin 4 or 5am, on a supposed kids block on Sci Fi channel (SyFy or whatever can suck my toe), when it was really too mature for kids, and adults balked at watching cuz on account of cartoons is for childrens. *rolls eyes* Then the networks would rotate it in the wrong order and show the same five eps over and over and over, killing off the few remaining fans' interest... Seriously, that series friggin rocked, and was treated like crap... It's probably got more scars than any of the others listed on here. I've read the script for the unfinished final arc and it was gonna be wicked awesome. And that was just season finale; the writers had many many more planned too... |

Muckraker  Posts: 240 Joined: 11 Feb 2009  | Does anyone know what happened to the plan of making new Futurama? there was the thing about fox and comedy central and then fox apparently wanted to fire all the voice actors, haven't heard anything since then. |

amen, brother! Was going to say Samurai Jack myself, but then again, what sticks around on Cartoon Network that was good?..... ... |
Paperboy  Posts: 49 Joined: 5 Aug 2009  | I'm going to have to megas XLR it was just the funniest show on at the time. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 92 Joined: 11 Sep 2009  | Let's see... Megas XLR and Samurai Jack have already been mentioned... how about Invader Zim, Freakazoid, Histeria, Swat Kats: the Radical Squadron, Class of 3000, Super Robot Monky Team Hyper Force Go, Sam and Max... Heck, here's a list of good shows cancelled before their time: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TooGoodToLast You'll notice that all of these are cartoons. I, for one, can't stand it when reality screws with the stuff I //LIKE//. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1220 Joined: 22 Sep 2009  | Fawlty Towers and Blackadder both took the 'less is more' approach to making a great show. Their comedy value really never fades no matter how much you watch it. More recently, though, I can name a few: Sugar Rush, Hex could have been really good if the main character hadn't legged it after the first season, Popular was the only good teen show on in my lifetime because it was funny as hell, Enterprise, Arrested Development, Firefly, Wonderfalls. |

Can't agree more on Death Note. After enough episodes it really had you rooting for Light, even if he was deliciously evil. User was suspended for: Japanese Erotic Game Screenshots Are Not So Erotic. (3 days) |

Good news, everyone! "On June 9, 2009, 20th Century Fox announced that Comedy Central had picked up the show for 26 new half-hour episodes that will begin airing in mid-2010." On Topic: Reaper. Only 2 seasons... |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 58 Joined: 16 Aug 2009   | I'm gonna go with the Terminator show. Sure it wasn't amazing, but I always found it entertaining, and near the end of the last season I thought it got really good. *shrug* I hate Fox. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3398 Joined: 11 Mar 2009    | I'm rather liking Trauma. Yes, inaccurate as hell, but hey, ambulances! Yay! So they cancel it after three episodes. Damn it. |

I thought a new season was supposed to be in production, the movie they did after 3 was pretty good. Faulty towers definately could have ran longer |

Paperboy  Posts: 29 Joined: 26 May 2009  | Zoids would be my pick since it was on before Toonami went to pot. |
Paperboy  Posts: 21 Joined: 28 Oct 2009 | Megas, and Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!, that show had style everywhere. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 155 Joined: 5 Nov 2009 | Stella, ran one season and took me like 4 years to find the dvd in a store. I loves it so much though
I thought the third series was out? also xmas special sounds amazing and Arrested Development |

Zoids had plenty of episodes. And it actually got four series total: Zoids: Chaotic Century Anime isn't just on Toonami... it originally comes from Japan, un-butchered. :P |
Copy Clerk Posts: 111 Joined: 3 Nov 2009 | Funny, I was reading this, and agreed to one particular duo of series, and didn't actually think of a series that I wanted to see more of. Pirates of Dark water... ...and yes, that is freaking old, but hey, it was a great series, great ideas, great mythos, etc. |

I love the young ones. My favorites are the party episode and the episode where they go to the bar where Madness plays a song.
I would also have to add Arrested Development; probably one of the best sitcoms ever.
Also my personal favorite tv show of all time (besides the original Twilight Zone) Cowboy Bebop; although that series didn't need to be longer; it's perfect the way it is.
