S/O - cancellations and cliff hangers - spoilers possible

[karinothing]

So in the cancellation posts agnes and I were talking about how Alphas ended on a major cliff hanger. I hate when shows do this, I wish they could always do the viewers the courtesy of tying up story lines. Another one I hated was Mercy, which ended with a car crash.

So annoying. So what TV show cancellation cliff hanger are you most bitter about?

[agnes]

I think I'm the most bitter about Carnival.

The last episode of Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles. Ugh! So much was going on in that episode and then bam, no more! I really think that show could have lasted if they had cast someone other than Lena Headey as Sarah Conner. She was all wrong for the role and didn't play it right, especially when compared to the rest of the cast.

Have you noticed how most of Summer Glau's shows gets canceled?

Firefly
Sarah Connor Chronicles
Dollhouse
Alphas

Maybe she is bad luck.

There was no major cliff hanger really, but Veronica Mars. I own the seasons on dvd and I always forget that the last episode is actually the series finale because there's an extra dvd. I always get mildly ticked off when I pop the last dvd in and realize there aren't any more episodes. If the movie does anything close to what Arrested Development just did, I'm going to be incredibly annoyed.

I hate when books and shows don't flash forward to the very end and provide all the important basic details along the way. I like how Charmed ended even though I didn't watch the entire series. I hate how HP ended. Basically, I need FB for my favorite characters so I can stalk them.

I totally agree with you.

Las Vegas. I started watching it after it was cancelled, but I didn't know it was cancelled with a cliffhanger otherwise I wouldn't have started watching it.

She was on The Unit too.

I'm really bitter about Southland.

And 4400, but I have no idea if either of those were cancelled?  I think they were? I didn't watch them.

Yes!  That's another one that annoys me!

Southland

[cuddlyevil]

It wasn't much of a cliffhanger, but Better off Ted was awesome--abc never gave it a real shot.

[prosecco]

I am STILL bitter about My So Called Life! LOL.

Carnivale was another one.

[noodleoo]

The Lone Gunmen. I was probably the only person who watched the X Files spinoff, but it ended with a total cliffhanger and I was so bummed to never find out what happened!

[BookLover]

I was upset at V. I loved that show on ABC, but they just left it at the alien invasion and death piling up. You don't know who really lived or died.

I have very vague memories of this show, in that I'm aware that there was a spin off, but I don't remember much about it.

DH and I are so upset about Southland

[elletr13]

American Dreams. I heard that the director & producer asked for just 1 more "special" episode to tie-up loose ends...no-go. I loved that show. Unfortunately, you can only buy Season 1 on DVD.

I'm still bitter about Alcatraz being cancelled last year and not tying up anything at all.

[statlerwaldorf]

Not exactly a cliffhanger, but I'm still mad about the it was all a dream stuff they pulled on Roseanne.

[roseflower]

Heros...I didn't even know it was in danger! It just never came back. Totally ticked me off.

The recent 90210...Silver getting cancer. Seriously dudes. You couldn't just...tie it with a bow? The girl who had it the worst on the show gets cancer in the last friggen episodes. No resolution. None.

[roseflower]

Oh and One Tree Hill. They knew the end was coming but it just does not feel right with out Luke and Peyton. So it wasn't a "cliffhanger" just a....youhadenoughtimetoplanefortheendingsoitshouldhavehadmoreclosureyo
