On this list: Freaks and Geeks, Sports Night, Arrested Development, and Veronica Mars
Not on this list: The OC, and most of all, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
The West Wing would have been cool to see longer, but I don't feel robbed after 7 seasons like I do with the other shows.
EDIT: And all 3 Aaron Sorkin shows make my list. Coincidence? I think not.

Everwood
Jack and Bobby
Tru Calling
Commander in Chief
Ed
Love Monkey
Beautiful People (guilty pleasure)
Wonderfalls
Clone High

And I'm sure I can think of a million more. Sucks when shitty shows get to stay on the air, but, great programing gets canceled so early.
Also, I was sad that Gilmore Girls ended. Not necessarily that it was robbed, because it went on for 7 seasons, but, they never gave me a proper ending, and that pissed me off more than anything.

Yeah I loved that show. I think if it was on a network like HBO, or something of the like, it would have had a couple more seasons. I just think it didn't do too well because it was a bit too racy for NBC.
I agree. NBC didn't even give it a chance. A couple episodes and they decide to end it. If they would have given it a chance to gain an audiance, it would have done better. I'm sure HBO would have been a great place for them to air it in the 1st place though.

Hahaha my roommate loved Early Edition. I never expected anyone to bring that up. Furthermore, Clone High was hilarious and all of those involved should stop doing Scrubs and pick it back up. Kristen Bell is from some rich suburb near my town so I should support Veronica Mars but let's be honest that show is awful.
Also, there used to be a kids show called Hysteria! that provided horrrribly wrong accounts of history on WB that aired in the mornings and that show ruled. As did Malcolm and Eddie.

I know the chances are about 0, but, if anyone can find The Days, either online or DVD, I would be forever grateful. I've spent the past half an hour looking, but, I can't find anything at all.
I need to snag them on Netflix; I used to watch it every week. It was definitely a cool plot. They used to have that and another FOX show I liked back-to-back, John Doe. Although it wasn't as good and it was syndicated (dunno if it still is) on Sci-Fi.
I was glued to my TV set watching every new episode and even the reruns that came on. P.U.N.K.S made me a Jessica Alba fan, and of course Never Been Kissed and Idle Hands so when this started I was excited. I think people were afraid to give it a go since the plot seemed so off the wall but it was solid. My mom used to watch the re-runs on Sci-Fi, Hah.

I liked the Powerpuff Girls as well. In hindsight, that had to have been one of the most poorly promoted cartoons in recent memory. The show had so many hilarious pop culture references and inside jokes, yet previews and commercials would have you believe that it was all this "Grrl Power" bullshit. And they wonder why the Powerpuff movie pretty much tanked.
