Great TV Series that got prematurely axed

General


"Prematurely", of course, is in the mind of the beholder. There are lists of shows that got cancelled; not looking for that. The question here is what shows would you wish had gone on longer.

Three regrettably-axed series come to mind for me:

Deadwood

Firefly

Freaks and Geeks

Another one I would add is "Star Trek: Enterprise" [part of the Star Trek franchise, and also referred to as just "Enterprise"] which I thought was good but it ended after just four series which was well short of the sevenness one might have expected of a Star Trek series. I believe it was cancelled.

Two U.S. sitcoms come to mind...

The Grinder (with Rob Lowe and Fred Savage who was in The Wonder Years when he was kid)

Go On (with Matthew Perry)

Both got axed after just one series.
