	I had no idea Star Trek was canceled before gaining such a following! Maybe there is still hope for Arrested Development...

	PhilSandifer:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:24 GMT	8 points
	There's hope for Arrested Development. It'll just come back set a century later, and with a British guy as the lead. Meanwhile, three separate Bryan Fuller shows? Man. And not a one of them is an unfair thing to have on the list. Poor guy can't catch a break.

	Rome wasn't cancelled. It originally was to be a mini-series, then they pushed it out to 1 full season and then another season because of its success. It went much longer than it was originally set for.

	I miss Eli Stone

	Are there enough tv shows that have been cancelled then brought back for a quiz? All I can think of are Family Guy and Futurama, but could be good

	Thalia:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:34 GMT	-1 points
	@fatbear... Jericho was briefly brought back after its initial cancellation.

	IWANTMY2DOLLARS:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:36 GMT	13 points
	I can't believe Undeclared didn't make this quiz. The funniest show I've ever seen and it was canceled after one season.

	mungar:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:41 GMT	8 points
	Freaks and Geeks are one of the best shows I've ever seen... and it lasted one season.

	JohnJF:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:43 GMT	10 points
	Thank God you put Arrested Development on this game, or surely Sporcle's server would crash from all of the inevitable hate e-mails from the hardcore fans.

	sammyhain2364:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:45 GMT	3 points
	Way too many current shows.

	Mortal Light:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:45 GMT	6 points
	I guess I'm a fan of Fox's canceled shows...

	SafetyBear:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:46 GMT	1 point
	@PhilSandifer if Arrested Development is following that model we'll get a bunch of movies first with the original cast.

	pushing daisies was cancelled?

	Haunter:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:53 GMT	5 points
	remember ESPN's Playmakers? That was a great show, really good. I usually hate everything about the monopoly that is ESPN, but that was awesome. Too bad the NFL had to complain about image problems, bunch of sourpusses.

	At the risk of being that guy: Saved? Crossing Jordan?

	You know what was a GOOD show that Fox cancelled after 4 episodes, Drive. I want to see the end! They filmed it! They also promised to show it last July but backed out. It's still on my DVR...

	heydigital:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:56 GMT	7 points
	RIP Pushing Daisies :( the ending was so unfortunately rushed. here's hoping we get at least a movie

	Kicking222:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:56 GMT	4 points
	This got rated an automatic five from me once I saw "Pushing Daisies". Anything that has "Pushing Daisies" will always earn my five. I only knew four answers, but seeing that one and "Arrested" made me happy to recall fond memories of those shows, even if they left us far, far too soon.

	nearlyextinct:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:01 GMT	-4 points
	How do you rate a game?

	andrew430:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:03 GMT	5 points
	I'm surprised no one's mentioned Firefly yet. I only watched it recently (after being inspired by a 5 day sequence of comics on xkcd related to the show) and I have to say it's a real shame that Fox cancelled it after only 1 season.

	firefly=greatest show ever, at least they made a movie out of it though, which was, almost even better than the show, and actually wrapped up majority of the loose ends.

	mattrd08:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:10 GMT	-3 points
	Wow. Star Trek was the only one I got.

	fatbeard:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:10 GMT	4 points
	@nearlyextinct: right under the bottom right corner of the quiz itself are five Sporcle icons, some of which will be lit up. Just click the number that you think it deserves (a little black outline should appear around it)

	Keit:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:10 GMT	5 points
	I'm sad more people didn't get Wonderfalls. Awesome show (although most of these are pretty awesome).

	Keonyn:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:14 GMT	4 points
	Man I miss Firefly, that show should have never qualified for this list so early. It's also kinda sad Dead Like Me is known to so few, it's such a fantastic show.

	SixFootFive:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:20 GMT	0 points
	A couple shows that I really miss, and felt they were cut too short were "Surface" ( I want more Lake Bell !! ) and My Own Worst Enemy.

	PhilSandifer:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:29 GMT	2 points
	Haunter - they're doing a comics continuation of Pushing Daisies. Starts in a few months, out of either Marvel or DC - I forget which. DC, I think.

	Lean:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:29 GMT	7 points
	I wish Freaks and Geeks would have lasted longer! That and Veronica Mars.

	dsee:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:30 GMT	1 point
	sad to see deadwood cancelled, great dialouge, pushing daisies was totally different than whats was on tv. firefly was a so-so show, the movie was really good I thought

	Dodge:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:39 GMT	2 points
	Whoever decided to ax Arrested Development should probably be shot.

Comment below threshold: show it

	katesutton:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:46 GMT	2 points
	I liked and mourned most of these shows. However, Roswell was cancelled because season 2 was painfully bad. When UPN resurrected it, it was better but not nearly as good as season 1.

	Giants2082:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 06:10 GMT	2 points
	@Dodge, not just shot....they should be brutally tortured, be shown the successful numbers of the upcoming AD movie, and THEN shot

	zalagreensbury:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 06:49 GMT	7 points
	Damn, after all these years I'm still holding out on a 'Firefly' comeback...a girl can dream right.

	Stairway:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 08:22 GMT	0 points
	They forgot Farscape, it was under a contract for five seasons but they cancelled it after 4 in the middle of a cliffhanger. Battlestar Galactica (TOS) was cancelled too, what a shame. I was shocked to learn Life got cancel, you get your news from unexpected sources sometimes I guess.

	scout:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 08:43 GMT	0 points
	my name is earl was just canceled. such a travesty. we'll never know who were the real fathers of joy's babies.

	WCRoentgen:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 09:41 GMT	-3 points
	I don't think this is a true trivia quiz in the Sporcle tradition. It is based, not on facts, but, rather, one person's opinion. What is an objective definition of "too soon"? According to whom?
