Thought this was an interesting question and I’m sure there’s lots of suggestions out there.

Pushing Daisies
1899
I’m still heartbroken Netflix cancelled it because it had the unfortunate timing of airing at the same time as Wednesday. The directors’ previous series, “Dark”, was a proper mindfuck.
Dark was amazing. I didn’t bother with 1899 after I heard that it was cancelled.
I think I’m developing a fear of commitment with shows these days, with so many cancelations
Pushing Daisies never got the ending it deserved. Everything had to be hastily wrapped up in one entire episode, third season setups were just left as loose ends, and it really didn’t do such a great show justice
Firefly
At least we got serenity to kinda tie up lose ends
Hi Randall Munroe!
Stargate Universe! The way it ended was so unfair and yet the perfect setup for something new. There’s been rumors brewing for years and years at this point but nothing concrete has happened yet.
Final Space.
Olan had one season left before the company buried the show as a tax write off
Reading this made me look it up. Final Space was more than a one season show?? Guess I have some catching up to do.
If you missed it, Olan got a deal to put out a hardback graphic novel tying up the show, called Final Space Ends. Upside: a real ending. Downside: not a show, not available digitally(one of Warner’s conditions), and it’s $125. Tentatively scheduled to ship late next year.
So realistically it doesn’t have an ending, because there is a zero percent chance I will ever pay $125 for it…
Dead Like Me
Adventure Time. It really needed one more season to fully flesh out the storylines they set up. Cartoon Network really screwed them (and other shows like SU) over
Deadwood. The movie was too little way too late.
As a HUGE deadwood fan, i agree. Its probably my overall #1 favorite show of all time. I felt like the movie was Milch calling in before his disease took him completely.
Unironically Mindhunter. I’m so mad it’s been canceled. Such a great show.
The Expanse. The show had a satisfying ending but the books went a bit further into the future and I’d like to see more in the shows.
Better off Ted
Pushing Daisies
ETA: I should’ve finished reading this thread. Of course these two would be mentioned!
People have already beaten me to Firefly over and over again so I’ll add one likely to have been forgotten:
Carnivale.
Ended on an unbelievable cliffhanger, left SO MUCH unanswered, could’ve run for another decade. I’m re-mad that this show got canceled now.
Better off Ted
I need more Veridian Dynamics.
Also, casting Linda as Ted Lasso’s wife and having her say “Ted” was one of the most jarring experiences I’ve had watching TV. All suspension of reality was completely broken.
I noticed that too!
