What TV shows do you miss?

I agree that Star Trek: Enterprise was getting better during Season 4. Although I would still hesitate to call it good, I think it was on the right track and deserving of a 5th season.

I loved Angel but I'm kinda glad it ended when it did. Angel's story was already kinda over by the end of Season 2. Season 4 was exhilarating but doesn't make much sense upon subsequent viewings. Season 5 only survived by completely revamping the premise. Even then, I think the Wolfram & Hart storyline was only good for the year we got. A 6th season probably would have pushed things too far.

I believe that Star Trek: Deep Space 9 could have continued for years & years with a revolving cast of characters similar to the way that they're always changing the casts on ER and Law & Order. The relaunch novels seem to have demonstrated that.

NewsRadio would have gone on for many more years had Phil Hartman not been murdered. Not only was he one of the funniest actors on the show. But I think that the way in which he died drove the cast & writers into such a depression that the final season that they did without him was dripping with bitterness and is just kinda not fun to watch.

7 Days was 3 of the most fun years I ever had watching UPN. Oh, that I only had more. (Hell, I'd settle for CBS releasing the frikkin' DVDs already!!!:()
 
I know I'm going to catch flak for this, but I actually miss Andromeda. Sure, the stories were forgettable and I really couldn't tell one episode from another, but it had hot babes, space battles, laser gun fights, and lots of things blowing up.

When I wanted something more than that, I turned to other shows, but Andromeda was always there when I just wanted to see the aforementioned things.

I dunno, it kind of seemed that when Andromeda ended, so too did the era of the first-run syndicated action shows in the US...
 
I missed a show off my list and that is "Joan of Arcadia" CBS should never of cancelled it.
 
Journeyman
Drive
Earth 2
Firefly
Mad About You
The Torklesons (the first season version, not the Almost Home second season version)
So Weird
Flash Forward
Now and Again

I'm sure there are more. Those are the ones that spring immediately to mind.
 
SportsNight

firefly
farscape
my world and welcome to it
homicide life on the street
 
I'm up to the final four episodes of Season 1 of Farscape and realizing how much I really miss that show. I think it might be the greatest Scifi show I've ever seen.
 
I thought The 4400 should have had one more season. At least one more season of Space: Above and Beyond could have been good.

Firefly's cancellation is the greatest crime against television of all time.
 
Really wanted at least another season of John Doe, at least to cover what he really was. And to explain the complete WTF cliffhanger.

And also wanted to see how Canrivale was going to end.
 
Journeyman - it only got one season but it the characters were fantastic. the timetravel element was done far better than any other show in my opinion. it was just an all around great show.

Sliders - I miss the original team Arturo, Wade, Quinn, and Remmy. I kept watching, but once they started replacing people, and Jerry O'Connell left it just didn't feel the same

The Invisible Man - I know it's Yet Another Cop Show With A Special Power, but the banter between Fawkes and Hobbes was really great :D

Highlander - There should have only been one movie, but I actually liked the TV show more than the first movie. My only gripe is that Duncan didn't really seem like a Scotsman, what accent was that anyway?

to name a few
 
Angel
Everwood
Firefly
Veronica Mars
Wonderfalls

I'd say some incarnation of Trek, but honestly, I'm doing okay without it right now. DS9 was amazing - and I am enjoying the relaunch novels. VOY and ENT were both mediocre and disappointing, so I definitely don't miss them. A new film is on the way so I think that'll do.
 
Sorry but some of the "blink in the eye" shows are ones I'd rather have back then some of the dreck that is on currently.
