ashides from the easy choice of arrested development, my 2 favorite canceled shows are Undeclared, which was a show Judd Apatow did in 2001, I doubt any of you remember it. It only had 2 seasons. And Simon Pegg from spaced did a great show called Spaced in 1999-2001, one of the ebst shows ever made and it got canceled so soon:cry:

What about Rocko's Modern Life or Angry Beavers? Those shows rocked.

Action was an amazing show, IMO and I would love for it to have run longer, but I can see why it was. I wouldn't have minded more Wonderfalls, also, but that show was REALLY dressed like it was asking for it from the get-go.

canceling that show is something i will never forgivew nick for doing. they told him that the show was too sadistic for kids and that he needed to toneit down. Jhonen Vasquez got so mad that he tore up the contract and left. he alredy had another season written.

Family Guy used to be good, but now its jsut terrible. So maybe bringing back canceled shows isnt always a good thing.

Who indeed? I see no Nathan Fillion, Moreena Baccarin, Adam Baldwin, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Jewel Staite, Summer Glau, etc etc in those credits...

Not the way they/to the extent they have since they came back. A full minute or so of someone behaving in a painful to watch manner feels more like filler than clever writing. And about the grossest the original run of the series ever got was naked, boneless Peter.

I never really liked Invasion. I was kinda ticked that it took the place of Alias for a few months. Plus, it was trying to be cool like Lost and take things slow. Didn't do it for me.

firefly was probably the best show that ever got cancelled. It'll most likely come back someday though.

most shows that try to comeback end up not doing as well because all the good writers have gotten new jobs while all the hacks still haven't found a good job, and are free to work on the project.

Arrested Development!!!!!!

Firefly is also a great choice.

Both shows died premature deaths because Fox has no clue how to handle a good show.

Arrested Development obviously, nothing less that a crime against humainty that it got cancelled.

Also Action and John Doe were good. However John Doe has essentially been remade as Kyle XY.
