Will say I was miffed when both Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis was dropped like a bad habit to produce Stargate Universe.
I liked Universe on it's own merit, but not at the expense of Atlantis. Universe failed miserably to gain any sort of audience, due to the abandonment of the original franchise direction. Thus, we lost all 3 shows.
Firefly is an obvious show as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it on FOX? The same network notorious for cancelling anything with a pulse? Jackhole of a network.
Another show I thought was cut down before it ever had a chance (thanks again to FOX network) was Space: Above and Beyond.
Show was originally to run 4 or 5 seasons, only survived 1 after FOX continuously bumped it around for everything under the sun. Good show with really good FX for it's day on network TV no less. Marines in space, fighting a little known alien species that is hell bent on wiping out humanity for encroaching into their territory....kind of like a blend of the reimaged BSG + HALO, only 10 years ahead of eithers time. In fact, if you liked either Battlestar Galactica and/or HALO, you'll like this show.
