While some of the best <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-television-dramas-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">drama TV shows</a> are long gone (we&#39;ll never forget you, Breaking Bad), others like Outlander and even American Horror Story keep us interested, toy with our emotions, and certainly keep our DVRs busy as we follow along with the dramatic story lines.

Many of the best, most acclaimed series come&nbsp;from networks like CBS, ABC, NBC, and FOX while others were only available from basic cable stations like AMC and FX. Even others were limited to those with the pay channels like HBO and Showtime&nbsp;or streaming providers like Netflix and Hulu - which make it easy to decide which <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-tv-shows-to-binge-watch/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">shows to marathon</a>.&nbsp;Regardless of network, these series get us interested and keep us hooked to all the action throughout the year.

2020

UPDATED: Check out&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-shows-ended-in-2021/molly-gander" target="_blank">All The TV Shows Ending in&nbsp;2021</a>!

Even as our watchlists fill with great new shows, many of the best TV shows are ending in 2020. While some popular shows, like Netflix originals GLOW and 13 Reasons Why, just didn&#39;t make it past that tricky second-to-fourth season mark, other long-running series, like Modern Family, Arrow, and Homeland, announced their final seasons beforehand. Which shows canceled in 2020 are you sad to see end?

Set for a May season finale date, Supernatural was one of the most anticipated series finales in 2020, ending a 15 season run. Another 15 season show, Criminal Minds, also ended in 2020. However, not all shows ending in 2020 have so many seasons. Bojack Horseman and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ended well before their tenth season. Other 2020 series finales include several sitcoms, such as the returned Will &amp; Grace, Fresh Off The Boat, and Fuller House. The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-the-history-channel-tv-shows/voteable?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">History Channel series</a> Vikings will air its last season in 2020 but already has a spin-off in the works.

Due to the global pandemic, several shows that were due to end in 2020 may be pushed into 2021, effectively giving audiences (sort of) one last season with their favorite shows. Other shows, such as Lucifer, which had moved to Netflix for its fourth season and was expected to end with season five, is actually getting one last season, after it was renewed for a season six in early June, 2020.

Vote up the 2020 canceled shows you&#39;re going to miss the most.

Great Adaptations

Fun fact: Game of Thrones isn&#39;t the only good TV show based on a book streaming on the airwaves! Though more and more people are complaining about sequels and reboots and re-imaginings at the movies, it&#39;s the <a href="/list/best-years-for-tv-shows/loganrapp?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">golden age of television</a>, with awesome shows inspired by books everywhere you look. The small screen has the benefit of being much more long form, and therefore a great place to showcase something based on a book or series of books. With television adaptations of books you have the ability to learn love and live with characters for the long haul, just as with a novel or series of novels.&nbsp;

Naturally as TV has been around for quite some time, there have been great book adaptations throughout the years. There have also been plenty of books adapted for TV in the form of the miniseries or TV movie, but that&#39;s another list and you won&#39;t find them here (otherwise Band of Brothers would most certainly have made the cut). Instead we are just focusing on traditional TV programs that are based on or inspired by books from genre like <a href="/list/best-fantasy-shows-based-on-books/ranker-tv" target="_blank">fantasy</a> and <a href="/list/best-sci-fi-shows-based-on-books/ranker-tv" target="_blank">sci-fi</a> to mysteries, historical classics and more.

Be it current and recent shows like Nancy Drew or The Magicians, critically acclaimed shows that have ended such as Boardwalk Empire and Orange Is the New Black, a show that started out amazing while it was based on it&#39;s book series... then derailed (Dexter), or a classic TV show you might not have realized was based on a book at all (M*A*S*H*), this list has them all. What it doesn&#39;t have are <a href="/list/best-comic-book-superhero-shows/ranker-tv" target="_blank">comic book adaptations and superhero TV shows</a>. This list is all about novels, book series and short stories. Even teen and <a href="/list/young-adult-fiction-series/ranker-books?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">YA book series</a> - like the two times the Melinda Metz Roswell High book series has been adapted - count, as do <a href="/list/tv-shows-adapted-from-both-movies-books/ranker-tv" target="_blank">shows that are based on books and movies,</a> or that continue telling a book&#39;s story past the movie adaptation.

These are the best shows based on books to ever air on television! Vote up the best of these shows below - whether because they nailed the adaptation or because they were top-notch, quality programming in their own right. Maybe the best overall shows rise to the top.

The Medieval Period, AKA the Middle Ages, stretched from the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century into the 15th Century, when the Renaissance brought the Age of Discovery.

Welcome to Medieval Times

Middle Ages

The Medieval era spans a whopping thousand years, from the 5th to the 15th century. Appropriately also called the Middle Ages, it&#39;s a giant span of time between the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. Television shows set in the Middle Ages have lots of themes to play with, including Vikings, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/life-of-a-medieval-knight/jordan-breeding" target="_blank">knights</a>, magic, and dragons.

Medieval TV shows seem to have a fondness for King Arthur&#39;s court, multiple Robin Hood adaptations and the appearance of Merlin as a main or side character. Although some shows set in the Middle Ages play the idea of knights and Vikings for <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/middle-ages-myths/kellen-perry" target="_blank">laughs or fun</a>, most series seem to embrace what the Medieval era used to be called: The Dark Ages.
