Don't you mean "Peaks, Twin", "Geeks, Freaks and", "falls, Wonder", "Inside, The" and "Life, My So-Called"?

;-)

Wonderfalls wasn't listed? blasphemy! It's only the best show ever, next to Firefly, of course. :P

Masa | February 16, 11:16 CET

And why does it have to have the wrong data. Firefly died in 2002, not 2003. Who checks the facts on these things?

Glad to see it included, though.

The same guy who said that Jewel was Joss' wife?

Ehm, Angel? Yeah, five seasons is pretty much, but it still ended too soon. I also miss Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me and Carnivalé (actually those are the best shows I have seen besides Joss').

Johan | February 16, 13:14 CET

I miss Threshold.

Simon | February 16, 13:40 CET

I'm going to miss Surface.

Fitz | February 16, 14:02 CET

Sharing Threshold love.

coolpeace | February 16, 16:11 CET

Nope, not sharing the Treshold love here. Boy, that was a bad show (sorry ;)). The acting was okay, but the plotting and most of all the pacing, jeesh. Admittedly, I only saw the first two episodes, but what I saw made Treshhold the worst show I had seen in quite some time. Surface was better, but only marginally.

And, of course, after sounding supperior there for a moment, I'll invite criticism by stating that a recent show I'll be missing is 'Night Stalker', even though it seemed to be gathering so-so reviews.

As for shows cancelled too soon that should've been on the list as well as far as I'm concerned: Miracles, Space: Above and Beyond and Dark Skies spring to mind.

GVH | February 16, 16:52 CET

I'm going to miss 'Drive'.

;)

(I really do miss Dead Like Me and Carnivale tho', both fantastic shows but the cliff hanger-ish ending to Carnivale is more frustrating than the reasonably resolved DLM)

ETA: GVH, right there with you on the Space:AAB love. That show is way underrated and really helped pave the way for the dark, gritty TV sci-fi to follow (Battlestar Galactica being the first to spring to mind).

I also loved Miracles and was really looking forward to seeing where it was going. God is Nowhere versus God is Now Here.

redfern | February 16, 17:52 CET

redfern: The God is Nowhere/now here thing was possibly the creepiest thing I'd seen on TV in ages. *sigh* I really miss that show again. *sad* And the airplane episode? Makes me cry again just thinking about it.

XanFan32 | February 16, 18:01 CET

So-so list - glad to see Firefly, Freaks and Geeks, and Twin Peaks, though there are a bunch of notable exceptions. But I don't think the writer is nearly as clever as he thinks he is. I know the whole last word, comma, beginning of title is supposed to be a cute homage to obituaries and graveyards and people's last names, but to me it just seems.... dumb. And then sentences like this make the writer in me cringe: "Firefly" died in 2003 after losing a long battle with the c-word: cancellation."

(also, another error: F&G was not "2" when it died - it didn't quite make it through its first season....)

acp | February 16, 18:21 CET

XanFan32: Miracles creeped me out more than any other show I have seen - without being a major gross fest.

redfern | February 16, 18:36 CET

Probably off track here, but how FOX can think that cancelling the likes of AD and KC and putting on shows like 'Free Ride' is going to be an improvement? Granted, I have only seen previews for that since it hasn't aired yet, but it certainly looks like a premise that would run out of jokes by week three. Oh, wait, that's all FOX needs from a show anyway!

Grace | February 16, 18:50 CET

And let us not forget "Tick, The", "Headroom, Max", "Nevada, Push"...and "Lucky".

By the way, add me on the list for giving some love to "Threshold". That show was starting to get good.
Because of Greed and Fear, the days are pretty much gone where a show is allowed at least one whole season to develop. *sigh*

AmazonGirl | February 16, 18:57 CET

Saje: I agree. S:AAB was very gritty, dark and real (I remember reading that that was part of the reason it got cancelled in the first place, but I might be wrong) and there's more than just a touch of it in the new Galactica.

As for Miracles being creepy, I again agree with what was stated above. The whole 'nowhere'/'now here' thing was very, very intruiging and I'm sorry I never found out where that was going. The airport episode was amazing, yes, but then again, pretty much every episode was. I don't think I ever saw a show where the old 'we're making a movie every week' thing held up better. Not sure if they would've been able to keep that going for multiple season, but it's very sad they never even had the chance.

GVH | February 16, 19:08 CET

I was glad to see Sledge Hammer! on the list. It had such an impact on me when I was growing up. Until it came out on DVD, I had a really hard time explaining the show to anyone, because nobody watched it. Most people looked at me like I lived in a fantasy world. When you found a fellow fan, there was that special bond.

I also think I was the only one to ever watch Keen Eddie, I would add that to the list of Fox’s untimely murders.

And I concur with everyone else about Angel, Wonderfalls and The Inside. Oh, and there is Kitchen Confidential. Did anyone see the final episode with Michael Vartan? Classic.

Pliny | February 17, 00:28 CET

(Hey, catalyst2, look what's listed first in the link!)

So, Surface is a goner then?

m'cookies actual | February 17, 00:30 CET

Threshold was entertaining, but I don't miss it at all. Invasion was easily the best out of the new sci-fi shows this year, and I'll miss that a lot if it gets cancelled (which seems likely).

vampire dan | February 17, 01:03 CET

Keen Eddie was very well-written, fun, and had a great quirky cast that somehow gelled and made it all work. I finished it on DVD a few weeks ago, well worth a rent. I'll probably buy it some day as well.

Kris | February 17, 02:30 CET

Keen Eddie definitely, along with Wonderfalls, Miracles, Profit(from David Greenwalt pre Angel), and American Gothic (one season) and really really good.

angel fan | February 17, 02:44 CET

The official line from NBC Entertainment president Kevin Reilly during the TCA press tour was that no decision had been made either way as yet and they would reassess their position in May. However, it was also confirmed that the season one finale did provide a kind of "semi-closure". It doesn't sound very promising.
