	Some clues would be nice (Synopsis, or actors, or characters)!

	cgills:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 06:38 GMT	1 point
	So I changed it to add actors, I don't know if this is too easy/hard/obscure, I didn't make the list I got it from EW, but any suggestions are welcome

	Etheridge2:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 06:41 GMT	2 points
	Eli Stone, Reaper, and Joan of Arcadia could all be on this list. Including actors makes it MUCH better

	cgills:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 06:50 GMT	1 point
	@ethridge2, I totally agree about those shows, but I took this list from an article (it's kind of a random bunch of shows) however if I composed a list of every show that I watched/liked that got canceled it would go on forever. The thing I really liked about the list was the title

	akbackstreetgirl:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 07:25 GMT	2 points
	I literally slapped myself on the head for not getting Sports Night. I used to watch reruns late at night on Comedy Central and own the series on DVD.

Comment below threshold: show it

	kthxbai:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 14:09 GMT	2 points
	Firefly, Firefly, Firefly. I know it's on the list; I just had to say it! FOX should be drug out and shot for that one! I'm surprised Rome is on the list. It was an excellent show, but I thought it ended because it was too expensive to produce, not because people weren't watching it. I was definitely watching it, but a lot of shows I like get cancelled.

	theoffice16:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 15:40 GMT	3 points
	Freaks and Geeks, Arrested Development, and My Name is Earl should never have been canceled. Also, you spelt discovered wrong in the title.

	cgills:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 16:31 GMT	1 point
	@theoffice16, thanks about the spelling (I manage to spell some obvious word wrong every time I make a quiz). @kthxbai and 2akbackstreetgril, thanks for commenting, and I too love Firefly, I never could get too into Sports Night though. @rockgolf, yeah I kind of realized that after I made the quiz, but I added to the game note that the list was compiled by EW readers, if that helps

	jak228:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 17:20 GMT	2 points
	Even though you're not adding new shows to the list, I feel it's worth mentioning that Party Down could easily go on here as well

	cgills:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 17:32 GMT	2 points
	@jak228- Party Down was one of my favorite shows, it was so funny, but I'm happy that Adam Scott is going to be on Parks and Rec

	caramba:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 19:40 GMT	1 point
	Eerie, Indiana. When Things Were Rotten. And, for my wife, Love Monkey. Also, any show that had a 3 year run shouldn't be in on the list - they are in the top 10% for longevity these days.

	alias571:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 21:06 GMT	3 points
	Portia de Rossi just can't catch a break, huh? Anyway, Veronica Mars, Arrested Development and Better Off Ted make this list awesome. Pushing Daisies should be on it as well.

	whodat33:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 00:41 GMT	1 point
	lee pace was also in the show pushing daisies that was pretty good. It makes it kind of confusing.

	fobfan101:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 05:11 GMT	1 point
	@etheridge2 Eli Stone was incredible, watched and loved it from the first episode.

	cgills:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 18:35 GMT	1 point
	@caramba-I've actually never heard of those shows, but I guess the title kind of applies to them too, haha. And I think 3 years is short considering shows that are really good barely get passed 2 or 3 seasons. @alias571 thanks for your comment, I really expected Pushing Daisies to be on the list as well. @whodat33, I realized that he was also on that show, but it aired on ABC and had different dates, and the main actress really hasn't been in many things.

	Buscemi:	Aug 20th, 2010 at 19:30 GMT	3 points
	Deadwood, easily.

	slowly:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 23:05 GMT	2 points
	I loved Wonderfalls and Jack&Bobby, they were such great shows. Fun quiz!

	Jimabuck:	Aug 23rd, 2010 at 02:09 GMT	2 points
	I wouldn't say that Lee Pace was the star of Wonderfalls, which leads to some of the confusion, I think, since he was the star of Pushing Daisies.

	briskt:	Aug 23rd, 2010 at 18:05 GMT	1 point
	I don't think that 4 seasons qualifies as too short to be discovered, therefore, My Name is Ear should not be on this list (even though it shouldn't have been canceled).

	cgills:	Aug 23rd, 2010 at 20:36 GMT	1 point
	@Buscemi, Deadwood was great it was another one I was surprised not to see on the list. @slowly-thanks. @Jimabuck-Lee pace was one of the main characters of the show, not all of the actors I named are necessarily the "star" in the case of lead actor (also Pushing Daisies wasn't on Fox and aired after 2004). @briskt- yeah, it is longer than the rest of the shows, but it was on the list.

	speedigy:	Aug 24th, 2010 at 04:10 GMT	2 points
	Loved you made this a quiz. Sad that some shows aren't on here because it's an EW list, but I totally understand. I loved 9 of these shows and discovered 3 of them after they aired :( I haven't watched the rest, maybe I should.

	cgills:	Aug 24th, 2010 at 05:28 GMT	1 point
	@speedigy-thanks for your comment, this quiz has gotten some hate so its great to have a nice comment! I loved a lot of shows on this list too, but alas the good ones are always canceled.

	kagomeshuko:	Aug 24th, 2010 at 15:31 GMT	1 point
	Only two I actually watched and liked. I watched "My Name is Earl" from the beginning. Same with the other, "Better Off Ted," which I actually didn't get. Got two I don't watch along with "Earl."

	cgills:	Aug 25th, 2010 at 23:17 GMT	1 point
	@kagomeshuko-thanks for commenting, I could never really get into My Name is Earl but I loved better off ted

	mrpotwtf69:	Aug 26th, 2010 at 19:48 GMT	1 point
	I actually liked that show Studio 60....

	daHOOK:	Oct 27th, 2010 at 19:36 GMT	1 point
	Sports Night resurfaced on HBO for a while.

	ohlalalane:	Mar 26th, 2011 at 18:33 GMT	1 point
	No Roswell(WB)? The Deep End(NBC)? Clone High (MTV)? I know you pulled this from a list so I will forgive you! =) Better Off Ted is hilarious! @Alias... I am with you on the Portia, thing! I think she is fabulous!
