Titolo: I 17 telefilm cancellati troppo presto

http://denofgeek.com/television/151940/17_tv_shows_that_were_cancelled_too_soon.html
The Job
Denis Leary ultimately found American TV success with Rescue Me, but it’s
worth digging out the solitary series of his cop drama, The Job. The
template is clearly there for the show that would follow, but the writing
in The Job is arguably better, and it’s a pity we never got to see it fully
fleshed out.
Freaks & Geeks
The show that anyone who’s seen would argue was the most unfairly culled,
surely? A stunning piece of television – that this writer only caught up on
two years ago (and wrote about here) – and one that genuinely had years of
fascinating character development left in it. Most of the people involved
have gone on to bigger things – Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, James Franco et al
– but none has done anything better. Even Apatow’s follow-up TV show,
Undeclared, didn’t make it past season one.
Firefly
Serenity may have offered some scant compensation, and the show does live
on thanks to its ongoing DVD (and now Blu-ray) success, but Joss Whedon’s
attempt to bring a western into space is still one of the most intriguing,
interesting science fiction shows of recent times, and was effectively
strangled at birth. All talk of a revival post-Serenity never materialised
either, so we're left holding out a candle for a Serenity 2 at best.
Drive
Fox pulled the Nathan Fillion-starring action show after a brief run of
just four episodes. This was borderline tragic, given the strength of the
show, and the critical response to it. Sadly, no amount of campaigning
could make up for the very low ratings, and it went off to be filed under
‘Strangled At Birth’.
Arrested Development
It’s hard to grumble too much when we got three series of what’s regarded
as one of the funniest programmes to ever hit American television, and
again, compensation of sorts is arriving in the shape of a movie. But look
at the often tepid mix of comedy on the schedules, and tell us that
something as smart, funny and so tightly-written as Arrested Development
didn’t deserve a longer run? From the opening episode, it was just flat-out
genius...
Dead Like Me
Just two seasons for this one, but thank goodness we got those. The
girl-as-grim-reaper show took a little while to get going, but by the time
it got into its stride, it was funny, surprising and very, very
entertaining. It never stood a chance, did it?
Sports Night
Aaron Sorkin went on to enjoy major success with The West Wing, and had a
cancellation after that with Studio 60 On Sunset Strip. But spare a thought
for the astoundingly funny antics of the people behind the scenes of a
televisions sports show. It’s the killer one liners that make the show,
although you can see the template for Sorkin’s writing underpinning both
series of the show that managed to get made.
Star Trek: Enterprise
How’s this for an audience splitter? By the time it got to the end of its
fourth season, Enterprise was limping along in the ratings, and its
cancellation was all-but-expected. But was it the right thing to do? While
we inevitably have some loyalty towards Star Trek, even putting that aside
there’s a school of thought that suggests Enterprise was in its stride by
the time the axe fell. However, four seasons isn’t a bad run, although it’s
now hoped that JJ Abrams’ rejig of the franchise may lead to further
television adventures…
Wonderfalls
A neat, clever little show, where destiny has a part to play in lots of
shapes and sizes. This one barely got an airing in the UK, though, and to
be fair, seems to have as many who don’t like it as those who do. But it
showed ample promise, was something a little different, and was thus bound
to die.
Tough Gig
A British show that saw a collection of stand-up comedians being sent into
unusual situations, and then have to write a comedy show around them. Dara
O’Briain went off to spend time with live action role players, while Frank
Skinner’s gig at a hippy commune was inspired. The show never even made it
to the end of its first run, with terrible ratings killing it in double
quick time.
Police Squad!
Just six episodes they made of the slapstick adventures of Frank Drebin,
attracting the likes of Joe Dante to direct. But the sheer endurance of
those six episodes has surely proven the decision to kill the show in its
infancy to be incorrect. That said, it did ultimately lead to the trilogy
of Naked Gun films that followed, even if the last two weren’t, er,
particularly good…
The Mole
It’s finally reappeared on American television – partly as an offshoot from
the US writers’ strike – but it’s for some time been the only reality TV
show that some of us would bother with. Channel Five produced a UK version
and canned it fairly soon after, in spite of it being really, really good.
Can we have it back please?
Deadwood
The frustration with Deadwood is that many would have accepted that the
show could come to an end after three seasons, if it had been done
properly. But, and in spite of plenty of campaigning to try and get the
situation addressed, Deadwood – after three series of some of the finest
drama to hit TV screens – still doesn’t have a proper ending. It’s the kind
of show that could really benefit from one, and we live in hope that more
Deadwood will one day be commissioned….
Greg The Bunny
Eugene Levy. Sarah Silverman. Seth Green. Puppets. That is all.
Knightmare
Granted, the show may have had a fair run, but there was real potential to
keep it going long term had the technology and thinking kept apace with
developments outside of the Knightmare studio. In a World Of
Warcraft-infested world, surely there’s room for another stab at it?
Veronica Mars
We got three seasons of Kristen Bell’s teenage detective, and by the time
it was coming to the end of its run, the narrative was getting really
interesting, with a strong cast fully bedded in around her. To be fair, you
could also take a single episode and enjoy it as a standalone piece too.
However, the show got the chop, much to the chagrin of its fanbase, and
while an Internet campaign followed, there’s still no word on further
adventures for Ms Mars. Bonus points to the show for including Steve
Guttenberg in the cast, obviously.
Dark Angel
Created by James Cameron and running for two seasons, Dark Angel was the
tale of a genetically enhanced soldier (played by Jessica Alba). Cameron
himself went behind the camera at one point, but a 40% ratings drop from
season one to two, and a rumoured behind the scenes disagreement between
Cameron and Fox, ended the show. On the bright side, in its place went

 Dark Angel
molto carino, anche se non mi ha preso più di tanto
le altre serie non le conosco.
in più mi è dispiaciuto per la chiusura di flash gordon, non fosse altro 
perchè era uno dei telefilm a più alta gradazione patatosa :D
speriamo che non facciano la stessa fine: reaper, sarah connor ed altri che 
al momento non mi vengono in mente.
