Farscape - The mini series ending ROCKED btw! I am SO glad they made it.

Star Trek Voyager - Their set's had the best look to them compared to the others and anyone who doesn't like 7of9 needs to be neutered.

All the other Star Trek series.. should keep them on forever and in production, grin.

That cartoon with "Fry" and "Bender" (the robot).. can't think of the name at the moment.

The Simpsons - Oh thats still on.. but when it isn't I will miss it.

That would be Futurama. Very funny show. You can catch reruns of it on Cartoon Network at 11, I think.

Oh I liked the Pretender too (and John Doe which debuted at the same time as Firefly as I recall).

And I do remember the Friday the 13th series...it was very interesting!

Firefly - Joss Whedon is extremely creative and Fox Network was moronic for cancelling it. We got the DVD set as soon as it was available and are greatly looking forward to the movie.

Angel - it had gotten weak the last couple of seasons but the last few episodes were great.

Tru - was interesting but I can't say that I've missed it

I was disappointed when they cancelled Wings.

I think they should cancel Saturday Night Live - it's so lame now.

I really enjoyed that show, though I hated that they ended it with a cliff-hanger! Then they go and kill them off on the finale of the X-files!

Yes, big Buffy fans here but Buffy *technically* wasn't cancelled (they opted to stop making it because Gellar wanted out - same with Sex and the City, another fave of ours). We have all the Buffy DVD sets

Ohhhh buffy and angel!!! *cries* good thing theyre in reruns though! when buffy switched to upn i didnt get to see it because we didnt get upn here!! now as reruns roll through ill get to see the shows i missed!!
YAY! Witchblade i LOVED.. too bad they had to cancel cuz she was an alchoholic. I was obsesssssed with SeaQuest if anyone ever saw that?? I was in love with Jonathan Brandis. I cried when i found out he killed himself last year.
There have been so many shows over the years that I miss that I can't even list them all! lol

One that we quite enjoyed was "Cupid". Starred Paula Marshall as a psychiatrist treating a guy, played by Jeremy Piven, who claimed to be the God Cupid. Quirky little show, but we seemed to be drawn to those.

NYC The Town so Nice, They Named it Twice!
The Wonder Years! Loved that show, I believe it only lasted 4 seasons, but I guess that's a pitfall with the Coming of age genre...the kids grow up! Very well written, funny and wise and sentimental, but never in a syrupy or sappy way.

The OLD David Letterman show..."Late Show with David Letterman" I think Dave lost a lot of umph when he went big time to CBS and 11:30 pm.

Where are Betty Boop cartoon reruns???...Betty was and is my kinda gal, spunky, coy, and a real charmer. I show my kids at the homeless shelter tapes of Betty, some of the cartoons are over 70 years old...and they love 'em!
