Firefly
I wonder how the person who’s decision it was to cancel firefly feels about this now. Do you think they were under a lot of pressures because of funding, or they just weren’t that into the show, or was there a new show they wanted to divert funding to. Wonder what the story was there.
The Expanse.
Firefly.
I don’t think The Expanse was really cancelled rather than it was ended at a story point that makes sense to continue from sometime in the future. There’s something like a decade long time skip and a huge thematic shift between books 6 and 7.
That last season was disappointing to me

Firefly
Raised by Wolves
Better Off Ted
Raised by Wolves was very trippy but it felt like they knew where it was going and the acting was fantastic. At least it was as original as it gets.
Why was it cancelled exactly?
money
In order that I remember them now
- Drive
- John Doe
- The OA
- Sense8
- Limitless
- Dollhouse
- Tru Calling
- Dark Matter
- My So-Called Life
- Witchblade
- Carnivàle
- Probably more, I’ll add them as I think of them
Firefly would make the list, if I watched it while it aired. But I didn’t see it till later.
Sense8 being cancelled was a crime
I cancelled Netflix because they cancelled Sense8 and The OA.
My so called life was amazing.
All time? Freaks and geeks. Was becoming the quintessential coming of age show, had hard lessons that were from the point of real kids growing up. Each character was relatable in their own way, and should have gone on for years.
Second to that is Arrested Development. And yeah it was rebooted but the cast had moved on. The show was on a great role and was just ahead of its time. The episodic nature of it just wasn’t popular then.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I would have loved to see how they planned to resolve that cliffhanger.
Santa Clarita Diet and Carnivale. HBO axed Carnivale, Deadwood and Rome back to back, and I still hold a grudge.
Edit: Enterprise and Lower Decks also still sting. Lower Decks is ao fucking brilliant and I hate that no one watches it!
I LOVED Lower Decks. Enterprise was probably the weakest of the ST series.
My love for T’pol politely disagrees.
Enterprise was ruined by Les moonves, he specifically hates the show. It’s still far better than the 3 nutrek series( I called them post jj Abrams.
Mind hunter, surprised i didn’t see it mentioned
Especially since it wasn’t a real cancellation, just “on indefinite hiatus” followed by “never coming back” almost five years later. The second season ending very much set up at least another season.
It was formally cancelled last year.

Yeah, so good! This was Netflix’s True Detective and they just…dropped it?
Raised by wolves. Atheism vs Religion into the stars. It was so good and so much of the buildup was about to come to fruition. GAH!
Needs a petition
A lot of good answers already. I’ll add Santa Clarita Diet. It’s a nice little show.
ReBoot. One of the most incredible, ground-breaking shows of its time, but it ends on a cliffhanger. I’m still holding out hope that we’ll get a movie to tie up the loose ends someday.
Alphanumeric!
“I’ve always wanted to do that.”
I’m a little teapot…
Prepare to taste the blade of my… butterknife?!
Firefly and Pushing Daisies are staples in these conversations, so I’ll throw in a less common one: NCIS LA.
I watched that show for over a decade. It was something predictable and comfortable. The show ending was like losing my favourite hoodie I’ve had for 14 years. Does it really impact my life? No. Do I miss it nonetheless? Yes.
I stopped sometime during season 3 or 4, can’t remember. Without spoiling anything if I decide to pick it up again: do we know what G stands for? Don’t tell me, just nod or something.
Yes, we do eventually find out what G stands for.
I’m still not over Firefly. Or the Orville.
The Orville hasn’t been canceled, yet. S04 will enter production this year.
