TV Shows That Ended You Liked Or Loved
 
We all had enjoyed TV our whole lives, and we all had a show we got into but got canceled. What TV shows did you like, but then they ended?

1. TMNT 1987 - of course
2. TMNT 2003 - at least it didn't surpass the number of episodes of 1987's
3. Home Improvement
4. Married... With Children
5. Kenan And Kel - Currently watching on DVD+R while I type this out.
6. All That!
7. You Can't Do That On Televison (Nickelodeon's first ever TV show in 1979)
8. What Would You Do? (Nickelodeon, not ABC)
9. Legends Of The Hidden Temple
10. The Real Ghostbusters
11. Wild And Crazy Kids
12. Double Dare
13. Nickelodeon GUTS/Global GUTS
14. Malcolm In The Middle - It wasn't so bad to take
15. Nick Arcade
16. Inspector Gadget
17. Garfield And Friends
18. Heathcliff
19. Kyle XY - I like it, but it didn't matter if they continued past season 3 or not
20. Salute Your Shorts
21. Diff'rent Strokes
22. The NeverEnding Story - Sure the 1984 movie was far better
23. Tales From The NeverEnding Story - Again with the 1984 movie.
24. The Legend Of Zelda
25. The Super Mario Super Show
26. The Adventures Of Sonic The Hedghog
27. The Adventures Of Pete And Pete
28. Small Wonders
29. The Cosby Show
30. Duck Tales
31. Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers

Yeah, I know. I enjoyed a ton of stuff when I was young. A lot where from Nickelodeon pre-1997 back when Nickelodeon was worth the time. In fact, I'm glad that most of those shows are on YouTube as a complete series. Also I'm sure that the above list is longer than what is presented.

AllTheDVDsWillBeMine! 04-03-2011 01:18 AM

Ended? Samurai Jack, Beast Wars: Transformers, Megas: XLR, and The Twilight Zone (The second we figure out how to bring dead people back to life, Rod Serling should be at the top of the list).

Canceled? Invader ZIM and Transformers: Animated.

Gilligan's Island.....Lol, it's kinda like people wanted the show to end, but it never came. Oh the irony! :P

Ninja Turtles 25 Years 04-03-2011 03:03 AM

Oh some more updates I forgot now that I see some more.

Ghulla Ghulla Island - When I was a real young kid
Care Bears - When I was just a baby
Flipper - It was canceled 20 years before I was born, but I remembered it on Nick at 5 AM, and on Animal Planet back in the mid-late 1990s
Looney Tunes - It didn't really cancel, but I remembered it on Nick At Nite and regular NICK in the 1980s early 1990s.
David The Gnome
Dinosaurs - I really liked the baby dinosaur, but I forgot his name

Actually the baby's name was....Baby. Hand to God!
EDITL: Baby Sinclair was voiced by Kevin "Elmo and Splinter" Clash

I guess the only show I can think of right now that was cancled before it's time was Family Matters. I'd have kinda liked to see the Winslow/Urkel wedding....WHAT? :P

Heh. Funny. It's been so long, I forgot, and yet, I got it right just asking.

GAME SHOWS
Double Dare; the 1976 version hosted by Alex Trebek
Classic Concentration; In Houston, KPRC replaced it with the soap Santa Barbara at 9:00 am. Worst programming idea KPRC made.
Press Your Luck
Win Lose or Draw; liked the NBC edition hosted by Vicki Lawrence.
Make the Grade; Only Nick show that had no slime

REALITY SHOWS
The Next Great American Band
Moolah Beach (before they got a facelift as Endurance)

SITCOMS
Step By Step (hated the idea of why they dumped Josh "Brendan" Byrne because of a baby sister being born)
Complete Savages (loved the dog & having Betty White as their mean neighbor)
Boy Meets World (least I got my wish just in time when Matthew Lawrence sang a little, the romantic part of that episode)
Grounded Fot Life
Everybody Hates Chris (should've had a graduation episode where Caruso would spoil his moment)
Gimme A Break (Joey & Matthew Lawence would've had a couple of more years berore Joey WHOA!ed his way into Blossom)

DISNEY/NICK SERIES (New or Classic)
Jonas (Can't get the Pizza Girl song out of my head)
Mickey Mouse Club; 1989 (It was the longest running of the three incarnations.)
Hey Dude
Drake & Josh (should've had a graduation episode as well)

ANIMATED
The Critic (ABC & Fox thought it stinks!)

ACTION/FAMILY DRAMA
Second Noah (James Marsden got his start. It would've been nice to see baby child Ben-Gemini Batnett grow up before our eyes)
Street Hawk
Misfits of Science
No Ordinary Family (I have a hunch ABC had axed it)

I don't think that's true. Other Nickelodeon game shows that didn't involve slime were Think Fast, Finders Keepers, Get the Picture, Guts, Nick Arcade, and Legends of the Hidden Temple.

Eiko 04-03-2011 07:55 AM

Married with Children and Brady Bunch.

MrPliggins 04-03-2011 08:55 AM

The Tick animated series..it was just starting to get really good, and the season 4 episode descriptions sounded promising.

Hero 04-03-2011 08:58 AM

That 70's Show.
Kenan and Kel
Transformers: Animated
2002 ver He Man
Spaced.

ToTheNines 04-03-2011 09:34 AM

Freaks and Geeks. Before its time, I guess.

PAAATE 04-03-2011 09:55 AM

Bound to be mentioned sooner or later, so I might just as well be the one to do it:

Firefly

second that

Samurai Jack is probably the only one that still really really bugs me. That show deserves an ending if nothing else.

Flight of the Conchords was one that bothered me while it was in limbo, but when they said it was done and I thought back to the final episode, it actually seemed really fitting.

Avatar: The Last Airbender also bummed me out big time. Mostly because it's one of the most amazing shows I ever watched and I love it to no end. It still makes me super sad it's over, but it also has one of the most fulfilling arcs of anything I've ever watched and the ending is absolutely perfect.

Ninja Turtles 25 Years 04-03-2011 05:17 PM

More of mine to add.

Pee-Wee's Playhouse - 2 days ago they had a reunion special on HBO, but I don't have that channel. On-screen guide.

Make the Grade - FIRE DRILL!!!!!!!!! I liked that host Phil something who also did Nick Arcade.

The Chamber - A 1999 gameshow where contestants were tied down and put into either a VERY hot (130 degree) or VERY cold (-25 degree) chamber and had to answer questions. It was short lived because I believed that it was deemed too dangerous.

Greed - Another late 90s' gameshow.

Rescue 911 - Used to come on Tuesdays

Nanny 911 - I like seeing kids getting straighted out

I thought that Double Dare started in 1986 first hosted by Mark Summers?

That ended exactly how I thought it would. It even ended on my birthday.

That's Phil Moore, and he didn't host Make the Grade. You're thinking of Robb Edward Morris, who was also a black guy, and the second host of Make the Grade.

There was also another game show called Double Dare back in the 70s. That was the first one, and it was totally different from the Nickelodeon Double Dare you mentioned.

Cure 04-04-2011 12:01 AM

Spectacular Spider-Man. It was so good. What's up with the new show that's supposed to be coming, anyway?

^This. As well as Wolverine and the X-men. Both very well done, fun, exciting series, yet cancled before their time.

EDIT: And does any one wonder if the 2nd season of the MTV CG Spidey show would have been any good? It lasted 1 whole season before it got canned, too.

Ninja Turtles 25 Years 04-04-2011 03:46 AM

Here's another one of mine that came to mind.

The Bozo Show - I used to watch every Sunday morning on WGN 9 for years as a kid. In fact, here's a little trivia fact. In real life there was an episode where a kid swore at Bozo, and back then it was aired live. During the grand prize game with the 6 buckets, this 6 year old kid got the little ball in each of the buckets and got excited each time, but when it came to the final one, he missed and said "Oh SH%T!" Bozo said to the boy that he shouldn't be saying that word, and the kid got even angrier and told Bozo "Oh FU&K YOU BOZO!" True proven fact, I'm not making that up. My father and step father even told me they each saw that episode. And I just tried to see if someone put it up on YouTube-- couldn't find it. Not surprising considering that it would of only have been aired once since it was live back then.

Ninjinister 04-04-2011 04:24 AM

Since all shows have to end sometime (unless it's The Simpsons), I'd have to say... all of them?

You forgot SNL and Dr. Who. :P (Not that they should...)

AleXviD 04-06-2011 07:09 AM

Too many to remember them all, but to name a few dead shows I’m most sad about

Dark Angel (haven’t read continuation books yet)
Gargoyles (s1-2 + comics; and Goliath Chronicles just never happened for me)
MYP He-Man (a.k.a. MOTU vs. the Snake-Men)
Pirates of Dark Water
Skeleton Warriors
Spider-Man TAS
Tru Calling
Wolverine and the X-Men

AT-Man 04-06-2011 07:45 PM

Firefly
Master of the Universe 200X

It was a heinous crime that these greatest shows were cancelled.

I love the Last Airbender series, but it had to come to an end. Luckily there will be a spin-off.

wilddiverse 04-07-2011 12:11 PM

Agree with Firefly, Pirates of Dark Water, The Tick, Samurai Jack...

Also:
Farscape

Arrested Development

Nah, Farscape ended perfectly with The Peacekeeper Wars

The other two, though; yes, definitely!!

Gargoyles of course. To this day, I pray that the series either continues or gets a reboot. As long as Greg Weisman is calling the shots. Did get the comics.

The 2002 Masters of the Universe ended rather prematurely. A lot of people are saying that Mattel was to blame.

Isn't it still continues in comics as well?

Yeah, forgot about them. But then again, I haven't read them. I just think The Peacekeeper Wars was the perfect ending and I don't wanna go any further :)
