Fastlane

It was a fun show...

I kind of like Mike Hammer with Stacey Keach. The story and plot were good, but the political views of Keach sucked.

The Brotherhood of Poland New Hampshire. It was shit canned after 3 episodes on CBS. Absolutely hilarious.

Space: Above and Beyond
Tour of Duty
John Doe

All I can think of off the top of my head. John Doe had so much potential material left, given how the main character was written. Numbers owes a lot to the ground broken by John Doe.

SAB is my one pie in the sky pic. I bought the DVD set recently, and it wasn't near as good as I remembered it.

Tour of Duty lasted 3 seasons, but in season 3 the writers went batshit insane with the plot line, and it died quickly after that.

Almost forgot, Jonnie Loves Chachi (is that spelled right?) and what was the name of the show when Enos left Dukes of Hazzard and went to LA?

Greed.

The one where Jay Mohr was the Hollywood movie exec. That show was funny as hell.

With Iliana Douglas? Yes, that was GREAT, and cancelled after only 3-4 episodes aired.

-Troy

It was called Action. It was one of the funniest show's ever on tv.

hot damn I have new respect for arfkom. got my 'ACTION' dvd two weeks ago - most intelligent show ever. THE funniest show ever. I've watched all 13 about seven times already.

+1 Millennium ... I was about to watch what I thought was going to be the season finale, just to hear "stay tuned for the series finale..." It probably couldn't go on any longer, anyway. How about that Kristen Cloke ("Lara Means")?

+1 Harsh Realm

+1 Tour of Duty

The Magnificent Seven

I was starting to like that Dark Skies series before it was cancelled... but Jerri Ryan ended up on Star Trek Voyager so that was cool... my gosh she's hot.

Sledgehammer had the best finale moment. Cut the red wire or the blue wire... BOOM. Mushroom Cloud.

I think I only saw the show twice, but one of those was the last half of the final episode. It was better than many of the shows that didn't get the axe.

Sledghammer was one of my favorite shows growing up. I liked how he talked to 44mag and it sleeped on a silk pillow

Another vote for Firefly... first TV show I ever watched that I couldn't wait to see the next one. Well, at least now I have Battlestar Galactica, and it's doing well.

+100 on Fastlane. I watch that show every chance I get on G4 on the weekends. I'm sad I didn't watch it much when it was on Fox. It sucks to get addicted to a show after it's already been cancelled.

Besides, how can you not like Tiff Amb-Th?

Quoted:
Sledgehammer

The hardest I ever laughed in my life was the episode when Sledge was playing with a paper airplane and stuck it int he LT's afro. LT. didn't figure it out and went about his business.

Every time you saw the LT later in the show the paper airplane was sticking out of the back of his fro'.

Don't know why, but it just killed me.

ETA: I can't believe it, but I actually found the pics.

For my viewing pleasure:
"The Young Indiana Jones"
"Tales of the Gold Monkey"
"Call to Glory"

Oh the agony!!!

Kingpin was a great show. It was a short series on NBC in '03 that was supposedly supposed to return as a regular show but nothing ever came of it. It had a Shield-like feel to it: tv.yahoo.com/tvpdb?d=tvi&cf=0&id=1808454439
Arrested Development

(though it may be picked up by another network)
3rd Watch
Boomtown
Over There (1st couple of episodes sucked, but it was getting good near the end)

Quoted:
Starved on FX I thought that show was great.

Was it canceled? I figured it was coming back this summer?

Whether any of you like these or not I don't know, but I did:

The Agency
The Fugitive

Both were on CBS, and both ended on a season finale that left you haging. Jerks.

Sports Night - Already mentioned but I thought I'd mention it again

The Job - The cop show that Denis Leary did prior to Rescue Me. Frickin' hilarious.

Arested Development (Best comedy in years)

Undeclared ( I liked because I was in college at the time)
Freaks and Geeks
UC Undercover (nice gun play)
Soldier of Fortune ( could have been good)
Fastlane (Miami Vice rip off but Tiff was HOT)

Star Trek

Same here

I just read through all six pages and only four other people said Arrested Development. I guess not too many people watched.

Too bad it was the best.

C'MON

Forgot to add ACTION that show was a head of its time.

The Dana Carvey primetime show on ABC was funny too.

God, The Devil and Bob

Titus

Firefly
