Canceled TV Shows Need Final Episode to Finish Up Story - Blu-ray Forum

Blu Tiger · 12-09-2011, 05:43 PM

I don't like it when I get into a show, and then they cancel it and leave the story with a cliff hanger.

Shows like Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles or 'V' for example.

I think the least the networks could do is have one more episode, mini-series, or movie to tie everything up and have some kind of ending to the series like they did with Farscape and Firefly.

I am NOT buying anymore shows on blu-ray that end like that. What's the point?

That's like buying half a book without an ending.

Does anyone know of other shows on blu-ray that have been canceled with the show ending with a cliff hanger? Thanks.

I know what you mean, i hate when i get into a show and it runs a season or two and leave it open for next season and it gets canceled.

Just like what happen with Dark Angel. They left that open for something big and then it was canceled. Still kinda mad about that and it was 9 years ago.

I haven't watched a single episode of any of the shows mentioned in this thread yet....... probably why they were canceled

The first episode of Flash Forward was good. The ending was so creepy. But as the show went on I lost interest.

I know it says list shows on blu-ray, but I am still mad that ABC Family cancelled The Nine Lives Of Chloe King after it ended on a cliffhanger. Yet they renewed The Lying Game which got just as terrible ratings.

Also, Tru Calling. The show ended with a Christmas episode.

As I got into Firefly years after it was cancelled, Tru Calling would probably be at the top of my list. It ended worse than the majority of the other shows mentioned given the fact that Fox renewed it for a second season, only to cancel it after a handful of episodes that season. That still gets me, especially since it was getting really good (not that it wasn't good before).

Always wanted them to finish up Kyle xy. I actually got into to that show

Has anyone mentioned Human Target yet? Also even though Joss chose the ending he did for Angel it really leaves you wanting more.

Bored to Death, Hung, and How to Make It In America got cancelled... I wish they all had finales to complete their stories, but then again sometimes its best to leave the stories open... especially a show like Bored to Death. I could see Hung and How To Make It In America having cool finales though.
