Ok, I know that there are a few fans of Arrested Development here who would agree with me that that show was too damn good to be cancelled after only 3 seasons, but what other shows are out there that you loved that were cancelled after too short a stay on the tube? Obviously, AD, but here are a few more that I would add to the list... Black Donnellys  John Doe  The Oblongs  Parker Lewis Can't Lose  3rd Watch  Invader Zim  and yeah, this topic has prolly been done before, but I don't give a fuck.
 Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

AD and third watch, though third watch did last six seasons.
And, to be fair, one of my favorite friends there is blind and I take every opportunity available to make fun of that and we're still friends. That guy never fit there. He never got the spirit of the RKMBs. We're gonna keep an eye on the obits, see if he finally left or if he really did have a heart attack.

Still wasn't long enough, but yeah, I see your point about third watch. It had one of the best series finales I've ever seen...

Have Rome on my netflix list. Only saw two eps of it, but have heard good things about the rest... Yeah, it is a quality show. The ratings are teh suck though for the network and although it was kept on this far because of the strike, chances are it won't be back. Hence, "possibly." I know Life (another good show) is coming back (yay!), but I didn't see anything for Journeyman being renewed.

I'm thinking it was just too smart for network television.

JLU for sure, the last season got weak but ended strong. There was potential with other characters...like Waverider...yeah. Not sure about Journeyman, I've been surprised to see the recent episodes aired through this week. I thought the show was done after Heroes vol. 2 ended. I've come home halfway through each one that's been on this week. They've been awesome. Thankfully I've picked up on the main points, my Mom watches the show too (not a rex joke).  The recent version of Masters of the Universe. I don't know if I should blame Mattel or Cartoon Network more.

It took me a little while to get hooked but it became a show I looked forward to catching. It ended on a nice note anyway.

I hope it comes back for more episodes after the writer's strike but if it doesn't I am glad they had some sort of nice ending and not a cliffhanger.

The best thing NBC can do is renew it as part of their summer programming. That way it'd have less competition in the proper time slot. DVD sales (assuming Journeyman gets that far) may influence NBC's decision as well.
