I think after Firefly, that's the other obligatory show on these lists. Maybe they're basing it on estimations of how likely the cast is to do it.
But in that case, Buffy is not super likely either, although I have a feeling SMG would be way more open to it now than say 6-7 years ago.

Other than that, I wish Angel was on this list!

Because Buffy WAS cancelled...? It just so happens that it took seven years for it to happen.

But I'm happy to be proven wrong!

That list double covers a lot of our Whedonverse alums, since you've got Morena's "V" and Christian Kane's "Leverage" there. And "Heroes" is like Six Degrees of Genre Fiction. And, IMO, I do wish Heroes could have gotten a TV movie. Mostly I wish they had just not started taking bets on how to make the show worse each season after an epic, water-cooler first.
"Chuck"... I'm actually a big "Chuck" fan of the school that thinks the show probably went on too long. All I'd want out of more "Chuck" is a definite resolution that all but negates the finale. Some shows end with the writers thinking "we want the audience to be able to decide". With "Chuck", though, I have yet to meet anyone who actually thinks one of the two alternative endings was acceptable. Surely for that kind of ending to work, a la "The Sopranos", there needs to be an audience that's open to the various possible outcomes? Not the case with "Chuck" at all that I can tell -- it has to be one way and not the other.

Strangely enough, even though it could be argued that it was kind of a rip off of Angel, I was saddened by Moonlight's cancellation. As the actors were good, and towards the end the stories were really picking up.
Ringer too had a really great cast, so I would have liked to have seen a second season there, or at least an ending with the twins finally confronting each other.
And Terra Nova wasn't all bad. Given more time it might have lived up to it's potential. The two male leads were certainly very good on it.

And now it's too late. And that makes me a little bitter.

There's no doubt in my mind that that's true. But TV shows don't have time to 'live up to their potential' before they're axed nowadays. They need to be good from the beginning. It's impossible to convince anyone to fight to keep it on the air otherwise. Most of the people I talk to think Terra Nova was terrible and should have been cancelled or they think it was entertaining, but not enough to make a fuss over.

Not if you're using the word cancellation for what it actually means - ie. the halting of an already ongoing process. And since creative staff are, by definition, the primary agents of creation, there is simply no justification for calling their decision not to continue actively producing something in the first place a cancellation.

Though what happened to Drive was a real joke. Where it seemed like it was cancelled not long after it premiered..
