    Firefly - my number #1 cancellation regret - cancelled before the first episode ever ran. This is my favorite TV show of all-time.
    The Tick (live action) - another show that was picking up speed, yet cancelled before it hit the airwaves.
    Crusade - I loved this characters that drove this show, but the plug was pulled after only 4 episodes ran.
    Babylon 5 - The Legend of the Rangers - who knows if this series would have survived if SciFi had not chosen to premiere it on a Saturday night during the NFL Playoffs (on the same night of the infamous Patriots / Raiders "Tuck Rule" game, no less). It was cancelled when the pilot failed to draw enough viewers.
    Voyagers - who knew being and idiot was lethal? Jon Erik Hexum, or at least he might have known if he survived.
    Birds of Prey - I totally do not defend my love of this series. It was a guilty pleasure in the extreme.
    The Night Stalker (2006) - It wasn't Darren McGavin, but it was alright for what it was.
    An old Irish Blessing - "May those who love us, love us; and if they do not love us, may God turn their hearts; and if He does not turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles, that we may know them by their limping"

          I have watched that few times in the early morning about 4:00a.m - 5:00a.m 'cuz that's awful early mornings, no time to watch that every early mornings . I went to bed at 12:00a.m..... and missed it.

          I dunno why they canceled Babylon 5 over 8 years!

            Ugh, that new Night Stalker blew! I so wanted this series to be good, as I loved the original! They missed a great op to make a good "spooky" investigative show. At least they gave him a Mustang... and the theme song from the original was so good, they should have done an updated version.

                I'll have to say Greatest American Hero (if we call 3 seasons short), and I also kind of miss Roswell.

                  I consider one season or less to be short lived so:
                  Quark
                  POTA
                  The Fantastic Journey (Roddy McDowall and Ike Eisenmann both in this show) Has anyone mentioned this one?

                          Firefly is the greatest Sci-fi show ever IMO. Malcom Reynolds was awesome, and River was a cutie!

                              What I liked about the show is it was written properly, it had everything needed to make for a great drama, plus the actors were top notch, I mean you had to like everyone on that ship, I mean they went through alot in that short amount of time. The movie tied up everything nicely, but there are 2 things I wanted to know that I will never know, 1. Why did Book know as much as he did, "I wasn't always a shepherd." would be he only reply, but the Alliance took him right in when he got shot,(EP."Safe") and 2. "Two by two, hands of blue." What were they? I mean I know they were after River, but WHO WERE THEY? *groans* I guess I'll never know. *sighs*
