Wow, I had forgotten all about Titus. I used to really like that show. Definitely a bread apart from what was on tv at that time.

Threes Company was good until the foolishness over contracts ruined it.
From what I understand about the contracts, one of the cast members overheard part of a conversation, and completely misunderstood what was being said.

That was my ex-wifes's favorite show.
I used to buy her a season on DVD for her birthday and Christmas every year.

And when she told you that she wanted a divorce your response was, "Oh Boy"

Curb might comeback if Larry wants to do it. Larry David does what he wants. This show could NEVER be cancelled because it is among the best comedies ever put on television.
A show that was cancelled, and is returning later this year is The X-Files. The X-Files will have soooo much to work with now. A six episode deal has been green lit by FOX with the possibility of more in the future. At least FOX sometimes gets it right.

And, even though I was just 2 when it was canceled, I'll go retro and say the original Star Trek series. It was way ahead of its time. Too bad they didn't get to at least finish their five-year mission. Another 50 or so episodes would have been really cool.
the first 3 seasons of the Next generation were originally written for TOS.. just FYI if you kinda wanna see what they would have been

But as a nerd, it upsets me when people say "OMG I just watched all the Marvel Movies. I'm such a nerd lolz". These people who've never picked up a comic book pretend to be nerds, yet they're the same people who chastised nerds just 10 years ago. That's what upsets me.
LOL the only comics i read are ALIEN or PREDATOR comics i pretty much hate marvel and most of DC..
But still consider myself a big time nerd just not a superhero nerd i like the dark and gritty.

Good news, it will come back for another season. Larry is consumed with his Broadway play currently and isn't thinking about another season till the play ends and he has time to recover from it. So it will most likely be in 2 years, but it will happen.

Yeah I always figure Curb was about when Larry wants to do it. When you have a bazillion dollars, you can do what you feel like doing when you feel like doing it.

All I can find is where he said in January that the odds were against it. That interview was quoted by many sources. If you can supply a later link where he said differently, please post it. I'd love to see another season.

Tenspeed and Brownshoe
This starred Jeff Goldbloom and Ben Vereen back in 1980 and lasted only one season.
Bosum Buddies
This had Tom Hanks and was only on for a season or two.
Heroes
But I understand why that show went off the air, it got way to complicated to follow. There is another coming though, trying to do it right this time.
The Fighting Fitzgeralds
This was on about 10 years ago about a father and sons living their lives without a mother who had died if I remember the plot correctly.
The Tonight Show starring Conan O'Brian
Ha Ha, just kidding, I don't like Conan.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but it always surprised me that the the original Star Trek was only 3 seasons.
