I was REALLY upset when Futurama got cancelled! That's about the only one I can think of. Fox never really gave it a chance to survive.

To be a little offtopic, does anybody know if The Boondocks has been cancelled?

It has not been cancelled. I think it comes back in June or September.

I agree with you to a certain extent, some TV shows definitely only have a limited shelf life and can become stagnant (I believe it is know as jumping the shark).

I don't think this was the case with 3lbs or Kidnapped however because both shows were cancelled before either series had been fully aired. I just think it is annoying when a show doesn't even get a chance to become established.

No one watched 3lbs and it got shit reviews. Kidnapped was decent but no one watched. The same I think happened with Vanished.

Kidnapped and Vanished billed themselves as being 24-like and they weren't....at all.

I think you are right, ultimately that is what it boils down to - reviews and more importantly ratings - but it doesn't make it any easier (for me anyway) to accept.

Man that pissed me off sooo much! John Doe was really a bloody good show. They did a whole season, left it on such an amazing cliffhanger and then cancelled it! What a waste of time for those who followed it! They apparently cancelled it because it wasn't getting tonnes of viewers. And the reason for that was the time it used to air. At the time it was airing at the same time as friends and another popular serial as far as I can remember so its ratings were low. But people loved that show man. It was a bad decision on their part.

Another one they cancelled on a cliffhanger was Tru Calling, again after one full season. They were a few others they cancelled too that were good. Its so annoying and a shame that viewers don't get to vote for it or something!
