What are some shows that got canceled but you loved them. Some for me are, Dead Like Me which lasted 2 seasons and was on Showtime, and Greg the Bunny which lasted 13 Episodes and was played on the canceling kings, FOX. Luckily for both of these shows, all of there episodes were released on DVD. I wish more people would have watched them, they were awesome. Espescially GTB, if your feeling sad, go and watch Greg the Bunny. It will cheep you up every time. I suprised it got canceled also. It had Seth Green, Eugene Levy, Sarah Silverman, and puppets!

I forgive FOX for all errors for bringing back Family Guy. But if they cancel it again, terrible things will happen.

I don't forgive FOX, they have canceled so many good shows that bringing Family Guy back, an average T.V. show now, is not going to make me forgive them.

Family Guy is far from an average show there bud. Few shows get cancelled and picked up again by the original network.

It was an insanley funny and awesome show in the first couple of seasons. Then they had to go and cancel it to make other crap. The only reason it got picked up is beacuse of all of the fans support and fox actually opened their eyes. Two other primary reasons are due to how much money the the 2 DVD box sets made, and how Cartoon Network showed all of the episodes.

So you're saying FG is crap now?

You make it sound like it's a bad thing. Few shows develop that kind of a bond with the fans.

Well sure, but the only true reason it went off the air was because Fox kept changing the time slots and nobody knew when it was supposed to air.

Yes yes, Wonderfalls. I recently finished the season on DVD and literally cried because I knew I wouldn't get anymore.
I don't really blame FOX for cancelling smart and awesome tv shows (ahem, see also Firefly and the near-to-death The Inside). I just blame them for giving their shows horrible timeslots. Wonderfalls was Fridays at 8 and so was Firefly. And it's been proven these were great shows. Both were critically acclaimed, and both have done amazing sales on DVD.
And if anyone hasn't catched either of them, the Sci-Fi Channel is re-airing every episode of Firefly on Fridays, and the new channel LOGO is going to begin airing every episode of Wonderfalls soon.

I know! O man, i was so bummed when it was cancelled. i love Life as we know it and thought the premise of the show was smart, real and true. And just as it was about to get interesting ABC cancelled.
It was already signed on for a second season but i read that parents thought the show was too sexual. (i guess it had something to do with the teacher student storyline) but I still love LAWKI.
DVD is coming out before the end of this year and all the episodes of season 1 will be on it :D

Northern Exposure. Sure it suffered when Rob Morrow left, and they pretended he was still there. But after the finally said good-bye too him, and introduced his replacement, I thought the show was still a good nights viewing. Worth one more season at least.

I think they could bring these back and really ring them dry for ideas, no no, I know some think that these show's might've been on long enough, but apparently you can bring shows back that've been milked for every good idea, years later and still entertain "gasy" there. He's so easily amused. Clapping his hands, drooling on his bib, such sophisticated taste too. But don't get him mad, he might post a mean pic and show you who's boss.....
