Cancelled shows

I would be interested to see the follow-up. I suppose a lot depends on Guardian's main audience - old or young, which I don't know. If we could put it to a vote, we could all try to get Firefly to win!
 
There are a lot of shows I miss but would still never want to come back. When Futurama ended the first time in 2003 it was pretty devastating. It has been revived several times since then and I wish it hadn't because maybe 10% of the new episodes are as good as the lower tier episodes from the original run. Veronica Mars came back with a movie and it was decent, but then they brought it back for another season on Hulu and it was a trainwreck.

I loved Wynonna Earp but if I'm being honest season 4 and the end of season 3 weren't very good and I was just sticking around because I loved the characters so much (mostly Wynonna, Waverly, and Nicole).

One show I wish we did get more of was Thundercats (the 2011 reboot, not the 80s series or the horrible recent comedy version). I thought it was a well animated, well acted, and well written update of the characters and I wanted to see more. The viewership was actually decent, but it was canceled because it didn't move toys. Instead of selling the Thundercats to a new generation they ended up just drawing in all the adults who watched the old show in its original 80s run or its numerous re-runs in the 90s like myself. And even though adult collectibles are definitely a thing, by and large people in their 20s and 30s don't buy toys and I was no exception.
 
At the time ,only Firefly and Veronica Mars . Retrospectively though , there are hundreds out there .

Hidden Palms
Boomtown
Dark Angel
Dark Matter
The Gifted
The Rook

All cruelly cancelled before their time . All potential classics . That's just the network shows off the top of me head .
