When these shows come up in conversation, I get passionate. Entertaining at the very least, these are the ones that make me want to hurt the people who decided it was ok to air them but not give us a proper ending...

    Travesty. Thank you Joss Whedon for giving us a film to wrap it up. We know you would have wowed us with many more epic adventures had the (then) Sci-Fi Channel originally aired your episodes in order...

    Vampire P.I. with a wicked sense of humor and a wicked psycho ex. Voted #1 for the Viewers Choice Award that year....somehow that didn't help keep it on the air...

    I know, I know...it got 4 seasons and season 2 was AWFUL due to the writers' strike. But, man, by the time I got to season 4 when they brought the carnival in...I was glued to my seat....I'd love to know what happens next... :(

    Dear Joss Whedon: Why did television dump you after 'Buffy'? I for one, could see the underlying plots that were surfacing only to be crushed by a cancellation. Lame. This was SUCH a creative idea.

    You have to get past the first few episodes which kind of play out like a cheesy high school comedy. Once you do that, though, it's the type of show that makes you laugh out loud just thinking about it. Oh, and I WANT MY ENDING!!

    At first it was what everyone said it would be-a live-action 'Incredibles'. But if you waited it out, the end of the first season really was starting to come together. It's a crying shame we won't find out what happens next.

    I don't normally watch shows like this...but it was clever and snarky and I loved it!

    I realize I'm going to have to defend myself on this one. Yes, cheesy as they come. No, not the usual 'Birds of Prey'. The story was taken from an alternate-universe storyline in the DC comics. I pretty much love anything that has to do with Batman...so....

    With 21 shows on the list, I'm shocked "Arrested Development" didn't make the cut. I consider it a comic tragedy that it only lasted three seasons.

      You know, by the time I got around to wondering about it, it had already been cancelled. Kinda makes you go 'eh'?

      You know, they never get as much of a chance, I don't think...in comparison to the non-sci-fi stuff. Damn shame.

        They serve a small, yet highly-devoted crowd. I'm one of them.

    could not agree more, though it was an expensive show that never really caught on (at least HBO gives the weird stuff a shot).

      I'm surprised it got 2 seasons, honestly. Is there a comic? I'd read the comic.
