    Mission Hill, I feel though it was cause it was on the wrong network. People on wb were watching stuff like Dawson's Creek and Buffy.

    Sadly since it was a satire on indie society at the time, it doesn't apply now so it wouldn't work now. Still was a well written show.

    Also felt The Critic should of lasted longer. Was one of John Lovitz best for sure. I know there were some webisodes but it wasn't the same.

    "Stroker and Hoop" from the cartoon network should have lasted longer. "My name is Earl" too.

    I was happy to hear about another season of Scrubs, but not happy to hear that John Dorian will only be on a few episodes.

    Dont know if im excited about the revived Futurama.

    Ive seen a couple of the direct-to-video movies and its not nearly as funny as the original series.

    Must of the jokes fall flat. Only 2-3 chuckle worthy moments in Benders Game.

    Millenium - the best TV show ever in my opinion.

    Season 2 and 3 were not as good as the 1st season but was getting better again in the end. The sad thing is that the series is unfinished. A bad X-Files episode deals with what became of Frank Black but it's really a shame this way.

    At least, the last series based entirely on JD's life and the last in the original hospital.

    I think that they should have killed it at the end of 8 to be honest. I think when the network executives try and drag a series against the will of the producers, directors, cast and crew, the series suffers.

    Hey, while we are at New Amsterdam.. what do you think of Nicolai Casper Waldau´s acting ? Since it would be interesting to know . I know him for his Danish roles (yes I have seen a few episodes of New Amsterdam) . And I personally think he is a MUCH better actor, than Nikolai Lie Kaas who is a disgrace to Danish acting (nationally and internationally speaking).

    Did anyone ever watch Huff? It was a 2-season show on Showtime, starring Hank Azaria (Moe Sizlak, etc.). Great fucking show - his cocaine snorting, pig lawyer friend played by Oliver Platt was genious.

    Arrested Development (at least there's a movie)
    Firefly (at least there's a movie)
    Rome (at least there's a movie)
    Deadwood (nothin'...:-()

    The Office wasn't cancelled though unless I'm mistaken, Stephen Merchant & Ricky Gervais just felt it had run its course and wanted to go out on a high, same with Spaced IIIRC.

    "Cancelled" is past tense.

    Yeah, that one went off on such a tangent though. I loved it, but I'm not surprised. The average Joe Blow is not gonna dig that.
