You know, I'll second you on that. The second season almost made me end it all, but fourth season only had one really bad epi (imo) and it looked like they really had their act together.


What are they doing to Simon MacCorkindale?!

Oh, well, if you're going to bring that up, what about Misfits of Science, or Automan?

Silver Crusade

Liquid Television.

I have mixed feelings on the package as a whole, but I do miss the opportunity to see gems in the mix.

Lupin III

It's been cancelled for decades, but hey, I miss seeing the well done dubs re-runs on Adult Swim. It tickled my fancy.

Oh, my, yes. Blake's 7 is still my Gold Standard for ridiculous cliffhangers.

I assume you are refering to the Avon classic is he, isn't dead at the end of series 4?

Which season of Space:1999? The first, sepuchrally cerebral season, or the second, with Mara as the magic alien?

I prefered the first series. I thought Mara was a bit weak. An Arabian Nights "size of an elephant!" rip off...Hmmm ...

The Banana Splits which included Arabian Nights and the Flashing Blade, now that is a classic!

Dark Archive

The crossbow wielding, rakshasa killing Kolchak: The Night Stalker because even Gary Gygax watched him.

'Benson', 'The Avengers' (Diana Rigg was the Seoni of her day) and 'Monty Python'. For the wit.

'Three's Company'. For the lack of wit.

And early 'The West Wing'. Inspired.

And 'Baywatch' because ... well I guess, over the years, I have grown to like hot women with breasts. But that's just me.

I'll probably think of more later but

Star Trek (DS9, TNG, VOY), Exhibit A: Secrets of Forensic Science (a Canadian documentary series looking at actual criminal cases and the forensics used to solve them), Royal Canadian Air Farce, Paleoworld on TLC back when the L still stood for "Learning", and the West Wing.

I'll actually agree with that assessment (although DS9 is still my favourite Trek series)

I do also miss Babylon 5, Earth: Final Conflict and even the Dead Zone to some extent.

without a doubt: NERO WOLFE

I loved every episode but that terrible last one, and, chances are, I don't like it because I knew going into it that it was the last one. . .

My wife would say: Firefly and Alias.

She gets so mad at me when I get something from netflix and, once she gets involved with the characters, finds out that the show is cut short.

From the 80s, I miss Cheers.

I also would have liked to see what happened to Jon Crier's old show. . .Duet? He was an architect whose friend was getting married.

    Oooh, score! I have the DVD, so I didn't think to include this one.

    Liberty's Edge Contributor, RPG Superstar 2012

    Mystery Science Theater 3000--Rifftrax and Cinematic Titanic are good, but they're not nearly as good as MST3K.

    Veronica Mars--Would've liked to have seen one more season.

    Twin Peaks--It probably would have been a train wreck if it had continued, but it would have been an interesting one.

    ST:DS9--The only series I wanted a feature film for once TNG played itself out.

    Quantum Leap--Classic.

    Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea--I haven't seen it since I was really young, and I imagine it hasn't aged well, but I loved this show.


    Twin Peaks, The Prisoner, Firefly.

    Oh God, Firefly! Why did you have to die so young!?

    Scarab Sages

    the Banana Splits

    Well, you are officially an Old Phart, my friend.

    And yes, I have a decided soft spot in my heart for Fleegle, Bingo, Drooper, and Snorky. Looking back on those episodes with the sensibilities of an adult, however, is mind-boggling. The Banana Splits was roundly panned by its contemporary reviewers, and perhaps for good reason. The typical interludes between cartoons seem to resemble the Three Stooges on an acid trip.

    But I remember the musical numbers. "My Beautiful Calliopasaxaviatrumparimbaclaribasotrombaphone". "Two-ton Tessie." Ah. In sixty years, as I am wheeled off to breakfast at the Home for Incontinent Oldsters, I'll still be humming those songs.

    Space Giants, with Goldar, Silvar, and Gam fighting Rodak and the Lugomen.

    At first, I thought this was a drug/sleep deprivation-induced post, then I did a little research on the internets. How is it I don't remember this show? I would have been about the right age to watch it.

    Liberty's Edge

    I could never hallucinate something that good.
    It was on tbs every afternoon at 4 eastern in 1978 or so.

    Yep, I would have been 10, and it's definitely something 10 year old me would have enjoyed.

    Liberty's Edge

    I know I've seen it on Youtube.


    Wonderfalls

    Liberty's Edge

    Blake's 7
    Spenser for Hire
    Duckman
    Dead Like Me

    RPG Superstar 2012

    Seeing Duckman up there reminded me about Freakazoid!. I miss that show too.


    Duckman, definitely.

    American Gothic (if you have the DVDs the episode order is all screwed up)
    Thundercats (Fun to watch and fun to deconstruct.)

    Angel (Sorry, but Buffy overstayed its welcome. Angel hurt my feelings with the s4 finale but redeemed itself a bit towards the end of s5. Being the universe's one Conner fan is hard.)

    Dark Skies

    Nowhere Man

    Chuck (Definitely has a gun to its head right now.)


    The Wire

    Deadwood

    Rome... (edited: Occurred to me I shouldn't post a link, but there is a fight scene out there that is a must see. Titus Pullo in an arena, about to be executed. NSFW, but a great scene, and awesome use of shield throughout:)

    Firefly

    Battlestar Galactica (the recent one. Great ending, but I miss it anyway. Same with The Wire)

    Twin Peaks

    Jericho

    Connections


    Just to name a few...

    Babylon 5

    Black Adder

    V (Anybody remember that one? With those serpentine aliens?)

    Star Trek TNG and Enterprise

    Battlestar Galactica (The Re-Imagined Series one. Anxiously waiting for Caprica.)

    Carnivale (Still annoyed it got cancelled...)

    $2 million an episode. A more proper lament would be "Oh God, Wheldon! Why did can't you come in under budget?!"

    But I agree - Firefly was great and I would have loved 4-5 more seasons of it.

    A lot of the shows I'm seeing listed though had really good runs.

    ST:TNG - 7 seasons & 4 movies
    Babylon 5 - 5 seasons & 4 movies
    Angel - 5 seasons
    Buffy - 7 seasons
    X-Files - 9(!) seasons

    To name just a few. I can't really miss something unless I didn't get enough of it in the first place. Firefly is about the only show I can think of that i wanted a lot more of but then again I don't watch much TV these days.

    Scarab Sages

    Quantum Leap
    Star Trek: TNG
    Magnum P.I.
    Littlest Hobo (only in Canada)


    Millenium (final season was fantastic)
    Firefly
    B5
    B7
    Deep Space 9
    Now and Again
    Silvester McCoy as Doctor Who
    Kinvig
    HHG2TG (BBC TV version)
    Banana Splits:purely for 'The Arabian Knights' segment.
    The Invisible Man (McCallum version)


    Babylon 5
    DS9
    Firefly
    Transformer: Beast Wars

    So many others I forget them all...
