Law & Order Criminal Intent was excellent - Vincent D'Onofrio was fabulous in his role as Goren.Also Law and Order and Law and Order Criminal Intent.

I'm with you on Carnivale and Deadwood. Add in:micknsnicks2mom , Whitechapel was good, wasn't it.
Carnivàle was on the brink of brilliance when they severed it after 2 series, most disappointing.
Deadwood also left me feeling like I'd wasted my life, as it was most enjoyable but left me feeling deeply empty at its abrupt curtailment.
Then, of course, there's Firefly, which only managed one series yet was the highest rated sci-fi program of all time.
I feel uneasy about watching new series until they've run a few seasons as I can't bear the feeling of lingering dissatisfaction when something good is cut off in its prime.
I loves me some British comedy!I love the British comedies, The Vicar of Dibley, Vicious, and my favorite As Time Goes By. I also like Pie In The Sky and Doc Martin. I don't know what happened to Vicious. I loved that show but it disappeared after a few shows.
I also love the British comedies. I forgot to mention The Last of The Summer Wine.I loves me some British comedy!
Pushing daisies was a show I was very disappointed didn't get more seasons. It was a real gem,very different,with lots of great talent and story. I remember being crushed when it was cancelled.
If they were still making episodes of the West wing,I would still be watching them. The series had run it's course,but I swear it was the best written show i had ever seen back then.
Mad Men, many of the old shows, like Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, All in the Family, and The Golden Girls!!! great!!Mad Men comes to mind. A lot of the old shows, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, All in The Family and The Golden Girls.
Invasion, and Cold Case!!! very nice!!
Moonlight!!! most excellent!!Moonlight with Alex O'Laughlin. It started on CBS before all the supernatural/vampire, etc stuff was popular. And it lasted only one season. The show was fairly good, but CBS didn't give it much of a chance at all. Now, we have Supernatural and Lucifer and all those kind of shows. (I have to admit that I didn't watch it on CBS; I found it during a mini-marathon on Sy-Fy one time. I have it on DVD.)

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Joan of Arcadia!!! great!!Good question! I'm sure there's more, but off the top of my head there's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Joan of Arcadia. Both shows only ran 2 seasons, and both had cliffhanger-y final episodes that left you wanting to know what was going to happen next.
Brian007 I was a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer and to a lesser degree Angel (the show) fan, but just couldn't get into Firefly.
many of the BBC comedies!!! really very nice!!I don't know if these shows were cancelled or we can't get them in the U.S. but I loved many of the BBC comedies such as: The Vicar of Dibley, Keeping Up Appearances, Vicious, Are You Being Served? and Coupling. (We have the box set of Fawlty Towers.)
yes!! i've seen some episodes of Fresh Meat, as well as The Inbetweeners! those are good shows!!neely I think these series simply ran their course, rather than being cancelled. The Vicar of Dibley still pops up for 'specials' now and then (the last was 2015). However, the three key oldies have either died or developed dementia recently, so I can't see them making any more.
I recently discovered 'Fresh Meat', which is a total guilty pleasure about a group of university freshers and follows them through their 3 years study, set over four series. You might enjoy it. 'The Inbetweeners' too, which is about a group of high school boys through their 4 years at school (and then there's a movie set just after they leave school). Now, I'm a 43 year old female and have finally had to admit that I've still got the sense of humour of a teenage boy!
that was such a great tv show!! and so funny!I also love the British comedies. I forgot to mention The Last of The Summer Wine.
