proper ending?

1. The Pretender and Good Karma Hospital

I am still angry that they promised 4 TV movies to wrap up the Pretender and then only showed one.

The Good Karma Hospital was excellent -- and then all of a sudden they cancelled it.

Been a lot of good shows lately that the main networks have cancelled to replace with cheaper reality TV.

[Luciferous]

2. Damn, I didn't know Good Karma

Hospital was cancelled 😕

Although I will say that I didn't think the last season was that good.

[debm55]

7. I agree with you. Thank you JT45242.

[Luciferous]

3. Carnivale. HBO said it was too expensive

to make, but I wish they could have wrapped up the story.

[debm55]

6. Thank you Luciferous. I hate when they leave you hanging in the air.

[FarPoint]

29. I too still miss that fantastic series...

[global1]

4. So Help Me Todd........

I'm still pissed that they cancelled this show.

Finally a lighthearted happy law show with a great cast of people in a time when we desperately need some lighthearted fun to watch versus all the forced drama and violence on TV.

I really don't think the network executives understand what the viewing public want or need with respect to 'good and enjoyable TV'.

I'm still clinging to hope that maybe another network might pick up the show or that the execs at CBS have a change of heart.

If there are other fans of this show here on DU - please visit the following link and sign in on the petition to bring the show back.

[EYESORE 9001]

8. Bar Karma

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_Karma

I couldn’t understand why it was canceled.

[debm55]

12. Thank you EYESORE 9001. I had one on Netflex. I like watching about the royalty in different countries. Only 5 episodes

shown, I was PO

[BootOutTheGoons]

10. Quantum Leap... TWICE!

It was bad enough leaving the original series of the late 80s and early 90s unresolved and hanging in the air. But then NBC brought the show back in 2022 with a continuation series

Finally some real answers... Maybe this time the series will put right what went wrong in 1993

Nope. 2 seasons and 31 episodes later they abruptly canceled this one too!

So now Sam and Ben and Addison are leaping through time and none of know what they're up to

[debm55]

13. Thank you BootOutTheGoons. Had the same happen to me. I love watch historically shows for the costumes and locations.

Mine stopped at the wedding.

15. Firefly

[debm55]

16. Thank you Lars39, Did any other channel pick it up?

[Lars39]

17. Nope, although the movie Serenity was supposed to heal all viewers' wounds.

[debm55]

18. Did it?

[Lars39]

19. Not really, especially for die-hard fans.

[debm55]

20. Bummer.

[HeartsCanHope]

21. Three Pines on Prime.

They left poor Chief Inspector Gamache bleeding profusely from a gunshot wound as the show ended. The show was loosely based on the mysteries about Chief Inspector Gamache by Louise Penny. At least in the books Gamache continues, but not on Prime!

[pat_k]

32. I was sooo looking forward to a second season

I do not understand why they cancelled such a high quality series.

I read her books years ago and listened to the audiobooks last year. Well, well, done.

[MLAA]

45. Damn! I didn't know it was cancelled. I loved it. Took a minute to get use to the casting as I'd read many

of the books and had different images. I grew to love the cast.

[beaglelover]

22. The Event

[Niagara]

23. Not really PO'ed but quite disappointed that the following shows were canceled

Schitt's Creek

The Last Man On Earth

The Son

The Wilds

Anne With An E

The Wonder Years (the reboot)

[yourout]

26. They just pulled the plug on the quantum leap reboot and the Lazarus project which I enjoyed both of.

[sinkingfeeling]

27. Don't know if there was advanced warning, but "Elementary".

[electric_blue68]

28. Eli Stone, ST:Enterprise, I didn't know I'll Fly Away was canncelled....

•There was this one where some person kept connecting w strangers through some psychic means.
•The black actor on the comedic drama cop show - Barney Miller? He got to star in his own show about ?owning a bar in New Orleans.
•V 2.0

Sure there are a few others...
Oh, maaaybe The Good Fight?

46. Loved Eli Stone

30. I don't think shows should be on more than 5 years. Things either get

very redundant or they bring in new characters that don't click.

How many times can Buffy save the world against the worst enemy in the world? How many times can Hawkeye Pierce get annoyed with the weather or not having a certain creature comfort from home. Why did Hot Lips have Farrah hair in the 50s?

Even my favorite shows either went on too long or didn't because they were less than 5 years.

Ok exceptions are Curb Your Enthusiasm and Columbo. But, Columbo was on once a month and Curb kept taking years off . That kept both shows fresh IMO.

[Ferrets are Cool]

33. Firefly

[catbyte]

35. Jericho

Kinda left everything hanging with no answer who started the whole thing.

[ultralite001]

38. Manhattan...

Set in Los Alamos, New Mexico, among those who designed and built the world's first atomic weapons, Manhattan follows the brilliant scientists who made the bomb a reality, as well as the families who love them and, increasingly, the many spies attempting to steal secrets of the bomb for US allies — to better position themselves for a postwar period rapidly hurtling toward the characters.

The second season began + ended at the Trinity test site, where the world's first atomic bomb is about to be detonated, and in that ingeniously circular structure it sets up a bunch of tiny plot bombs in the premiere that it then detonates before the finale.

Sam Shaw:
We've always said from the beginning that to me the most interesting and the most exciting material is just on the other side of World War II. It's a part of this story that I always really wanted to tell, and I'll be really sad if I don't get the chance.... What I know is that there's great stories to be told. I hope we get a chance to do it."

[lapfog_1]

43. Action!

The funniest damn show to ever hit any network. And nobody has ever heard of it.

13 episodes and it was done.

They writers sort of wrapped it up with a special "pre canned" last episode because they heard a rumor that it was going to be canceled (it had already moved twice in time slots on Fox). So they made an episode where the prostitute character realizes that going back to prostitution was a better, cleaner life than being a studio production person for a movie studio working with actors, writers, directors, etc.

Jay Mohr was outstanding as Peter Dragon, as was my fathers favorite comedian/actor Buddy Hackett as "Uncle Lonnie". The supporting cast was great too.

The only series that came close was Silicon Valley. But it wrapped up more or less. I mean how many more seasons of "Richard throws a tantrum and almost fucks things up for his brilliant bit of software tech" could they really do?

[EverHopeful]

47. Kingdom with Stephen Fry

Read somewhere years ago that even the actors didn't know there would be no more episodes.
