With the terrible news of the cancellation of, "Hannibal", it's time to look back at other shows that were either cancelled or were fucked about with, so much, by the studios, that they never reached the dizzying heights that they should.
So, please join me in remember those TV Shows that received the above treatment.
We all seem to be agreed that "Firely" was an excellent television show (and one that was cancelled before its time). However, it has been kept alive by a series of superb Graphic Novels and the sublime movie, "Serenity".
Then there are the TV shows that (sort of) ran their intended course; such as the marvellous, "Babylon 5" (which, it would seem, is about to receive either a reboot or a movie series
And then there is the intriguing TV show, cut down before its time but nonetheless bloody brilliant, "American Gothic"; which if you haven't seen, I can only recommend, in the strongest possible terms, that you do.
So, over to you...
...please join in by listing, and educating us about, those shows that you dearly miss; whether they were screwed by the studios or were ended before their time.

Firefly. Although it's already been mentioned, it deserves to be mentioned several more times.
Continuously, in fact, until they bring us back to the 'Verse.

Did anybody watch The Good Guys? That show had the potential to be great.

Carnivale was finally starting to go somewhere when it was cancelled. Also, Twin Peaks, though it's getting a new season now.
