Episodic television isn't my forte, I'd much rather watch a movie or an entire season at a time. I forget what night it's on, two shows I like are on at the same time, then of course there are the split seasons, short seasons, premiere episode and the season follows six weeks later or of course the next season has an entirely different cast and plot line. I get confused. As a a matter of fact, as I was getting the list together I found out some of the shows I like aren't in a different time slot or on hiatus, they are in fact cancelled.
So which 10?
I like my comedies idiotic. Over the top, flat out ridiculous and absurd.
1 Todd and the Book of Pure Evil
So bad it was brilliant. Loved this Canadian teen angst/horror/comedy.
2 Pee Wee's Playhouse
Paul Reubens is a comedic genius. Laurence Fishburne as Cowboy Curtis? How can you not have loved this show?
3 Absolutely Fabulous
Eddie and Patsy together, BBC at it's best. French and Saunders put out a lot of great comedies but this is my favourite.
4 Soap
The hilarious antics of the Tates and the Campbells
I also love a good mystery. By that I mean one that doesn't give it away in the first 10 minutes.
5 Sherlock
Now this isn't cancelled but with only 10 episodes in two seasons, good luck trying to find it to watch it.
Time for a genre switch
6 Space 1999
The sci fi show that started it all for me way back in the '70s (like you couldn't tell)
7 Stargate Universe
Loved the original, and Atlantis but this one still had stories to tell.
8 Sliders
This one had a pretty good run but I would have watched another 5 seasons. Maybe a movie like they did with....
9 Firefly
Joss, how could you let this happen? Although you did do a kick ass movie. We want more.
10 Tru Calling
Ever since Buffy, I've loved Eliza Dushku. I really wanted this to fly but would have been happy with Dollhouse as well. Poor Eliza, just never quite caught on.
What do you wish was still on the tube?
