shows are just not allowed to die anymore

- Start date
As big of a fan of The Simpsons as I am, that show is LOOOOOOOOOOOONG past its expiration date.
I had no idea Earl was supposed to be cancelled. The show's still good imo, it shouldn't "die" yet. There are approximately a million worse shows on tv.
See, when a show like My Name is Earl gets axed it's annoying, because I've been watching the show from the first series and I really like it. I've watched some of the new episodes and they seem to be a natual progression in the series. Some of them aren't as funny (and for some reason don't include the list), but they are still funny.
Shows like Futurama and Sarah Connor Chronicles just aren't good shows anymore and deserve to be cancelled (SCC wasn't a good show to begin with, but you get my point).

Considering Futurama hasn't been a show in 6 years how couldn't it be good anymore?
The movies suck because they aren't real movies, but they aren't real episodes either. Hopefully when the show returns they will get it back together, and do another robot Santa episode!

While it's not exactly the same scenario as this one, I always find it amazing when I read threads about "why write letters" or "why try to save a dying show" or "why try to bring that cancelled show back" ON A FRIGGIN' STAR TREK FORUM. The irony escapes them apparently.
If people like a show, let them be. You'll be doing your part by not watching the show and ignoring them, the market will figure out the rest.
Firefly people though.
Earl is dead...
"While we had hoped to find a way to produce additional episodes for TBS, in the final analysis we simply could not make the economics work without seriously undermining the artistic integrity of the series. As none of us, [series creator] Greg [Garcia] included, want the show to go out on anything but a high note, we regret that we must put to rest any speculation that Earl will continue. We are grateful to everyone at TBS for their enthusiasm for the series and wish to offer our heartfelt thanks to the cast and crew of My Name is Earl for their incredible work."

I am sure continuing a semi-long running successful show on another probably smaller network is very hard for the simple fact that the actors alone have probably progressively been getting more money and have probably priced themselves out of the range of the new network. And when you have one actor leave you could have a cascade effect.
I wish some shows wouldn't die at least not before they can wrap up there story lines, because of the fickle nature of network tv and ratings I am very reluctant to devote time and effort into watching a tv series that has a long running story arc because it might end before the arc is done. Therefore I just wait a year and can watch it on DVD if it lasts.

I feel like "Earl" jumped the shark around the time he went to prison. Before that, I liked it. I think it had just started getting better again, so I'm ambivalent.
That said, it does often seem like the shows that deserve another chance the most (i.e. "Pushing Daisies," "Sarah Connor") don't get them.
