TV Meme! Day 1.

frayadjacentI like memes. I like how they get me posting. I especially like memes with questions that draw out a substantive response rather than just yes/no/link here etc. So I'm going to do the TV meme, which I last spotted over at deird1's page.
Day 01 - A show that never should have been cancelled:
Ooh, this is a tough one. My immediate response is Firefly. I imagine that's a lot of people's immediate response. It's one of my favorite shows, and it was way too short. I'm not a huge fan of Serenity and would definitely prefer that we got that story, as well as The Shepherd's Tale, in a season or two of television instead of a film and comic book.
But at the same time, just that first season still feels like a complete package. No, we didn't get any big plot arcs, and yes there are lots of unanswered questions. But the end of "Objects in Space" doesn't leave me hanging. It leaves me feeling all the affection for these characters that the other episodes already earned. And yes, more is great, but I don't need it.
What I'd really love is a third season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The first time I watched I was let down by the lack of resolution with the S2 finale -- I'm not sure I realized that there wasn't a third season, actually. But it was only on rewatch, when I more fully appreciated just how many plot threads and story lines and character arcs were coming to a head and left to dangle, that I realized what a loss that cancellation was. I think T:tSCC is probably the only show whose cancelling has actually made me angry.
