dumb shows always go the longest

FireFly, Arrested Development, How To Make It In America, Entourage... Those come to mind but I must be forgetting one or two.

Wait, I know:

Rome for me easily....then yea Freaks and Geeks,Carnivale. Adding Veronica Mars.

Nope, Rome was meant to go considerably longer than it did.

"I discovered halfway through writing the second season the show was going to end," Heller said. "The second was going to end with the death of Brutus. Third and fourth season would be set in Egypt. Fifth was going to be the rise of the messiah in Palestine. But because we got the heads-up that the second season would be it, I telescoped the third and fourth season into the second one, which accounts for the blazing speed we go through history near the end. There's certainly more than enough history to go around."

-Bruno Heller. Creator of Rome.

Shame , probably the best series I've ever seen, cancelled because of high production costs, had it been made a couple years later like GOT there woulve been no issues.

It's interesting , some of these shows mentioned went 5+ seasons 100 + episodes, I mean, what's the cutoff point because eventually you can just say any great TV show eventually got cancelled since they all end (other than the Simpsons).

Oz is the best tv serie's imo to be cancelled was better than both Wire and Sopranos imho.

For the record iam completing ignoring cartoons/anime because there would be far too many to list.

Mole you've had a year to fix this. I trust you have.

Also, when I created this thread, I had more in mind series that never got a chance and were cancelled. Shows like Seinfeld, that had 9 seasons, had as much life as you would expect even if it was cancelled. The Wire had 5 seasons at HBO, which is pretty much unheard of.

Yes i have among many other shows like Breaking Bad, Heroes, How i met your Mother, Dexter, Mad Men, Archer etc etc that i hadn't watched at that time.

Although i haven't watched them all through to the end yet.

I tend to bounce from one TV series to the next so don't always finish them lol.

Looks like the various death threats i sent head office worked, because the Dwarf is heading back for another series

Reverse Cartman terrorism ftw

Wait, I know:

yes!!! Reaper

Dragon Ball series needs to keep going some way or another, but it probably won't.

Party Down.

Absolute gem of a series. One of the most underrated comedies ever

Rubicon was a great show.

Blue Mountain State! no more Thad Castle

Shame about BMS. That show had its moments. Just wish it had goddamn nudity already. Hate it when shows tease us like that


Also, The Black Donnellys, anyone ? Doubt it Quite easily one of the best pilots I've ever seen.

Imma go with Arrested Development and Firefly.

I found the humour in Family Guy just too immature now :S loved it when I was 14, now not so much and I cringe at it.

I kind of hated SGU, SGA and SG1 were better shows, drama killed SGU in my opinion, I never liked it.
