What's yours?
Now I know a lot of people would say Digimon as a knee-jerk reaction partly due to where we are but I don't really think of it as cancelled so much as discontinued, if you catch my meaning. (And before anyone says anything about X Evolution I'd like to point out that we're not entirely sure exactly how that's gonna pan out yet.)
By cancelled I mean something that was abruptly ended in the middle of a plot point resulting in a lot of frothing at the mouth and gnashing of teeth from fans.
For me it's as far as live action things go it was Farscape which aired on the Sci-Fi channel here in the states. Sci-Fi hailed it as their "Signature Series" and then shuffled around it's time slot a bunch of times and then blamed it for it's waning ratings. What the hell did they expect when the fans couldn't find the show as easily?! Well in order to shut the holes of the more rabid among the fandom they finally decided to do a mini-series that would wrap up the season five cliffhanger (They'd already purchased the show through to season 7) but that's still no replacement for another season... Oh well at least we'll get some closure.
As far as animated things go it'd definitely be Reboot Now I have no idea weather or not they’re (Mainframe) still working on it slowly or the show’s bit the dust but I would have loved to at least seen the end of the “Megabyte Returns” story arc.
Damn network and/or production company business politics.
