movies/tv Favorite Show That Ended Prematurely

[HorsesandMOARGaloar 300]

First thing that comes to mind:

 

Samurai Jack

[Sugar & Sins 156]

Does anime count? If so Elfen Lied...

 

Megas XLR, or just about anything Titmouse(Downtown and Motorcity also come to mind) makes get canned prematurely, despite being incredibly awesome

 

Seriously they're like the Platinum Games of animation

 

Dude Megas XLR was the bomb, I loved that show! The last few episodes with the future versions of Coop, Jamie and Kiva were good though, they all looked badass.

Why wasn't I told!?!

It was back during the time Cartoon Network had a really good Friday night lineup of course that lineup moved to Saturday mornings which I was fine with though but now that lineup is pretty much nonexistent. What was really cool is that they had the original voice actor of Liono play Liono's Dad in the series premier two parter, Mumra is even more awesome than ever, you get to see this flashback where Liono's ancestor fights Mumra, the origin story of the Sword of Omens as well as this evil version of it wielded by Mumra. And the trials Liono went through are even more brutal than the ones he went through in the 80's series. It was just shortly after Liono completed the trials that the show got canned.

[Titan Rising 2,156]

Teen Titans, but im not sure if that ended prematurely.  If not that then...  Chuck

[Rainbow S.D. 546]

No Ordinary Family! It has only one season!  :okiedokielokie:

[Frostgage 7,975]

I loved Wolverine and the X-Men, but unfortunately it ended after just one season. The worst part is it ended with a major cliffhanger.

[Invincible 2,091]

'Nuff said.

bobobo-bo-bobobo ended early. right before the final battle

 

as for thundercats 2011. it ended because not enough ratings or something

[Washougal_Otaku 1,020]

For me, the answer is Titan Maximum.  They only aired nine episodes, with the last one ending with the bad guy successfully cooking billions of old people alive on the planet Mercury.  Personally, I blame the terrible time slot.

One word. Firefly! Who the hell decided to cancel it after one season!?

The show's creator made that decision.

Er, no! Joss Whedon did not want Firefly to end! Otherwise, why did he make the film Serenity?

...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

 

I quoted the wrong thing.

[Flying Space Badger 84]

Better Off Ted died way before it's time. Brilliant office based comedy.

Also, as mentioned by others, Firefly.

Farscape as well. The followup movie was because it was canceled by the network before they had a chance to get into the Peacekeeper/Skarraan war.

[Panne 1,342]

They should revive Clannad and make a series for each girl. I'm just sitting here with my two seasons watching them over and over.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,839]

Well if anime counts then id say Attack on Titan...unless its resumed and i just haven't realized it because i haven't checked in forever   

 

Also this:

 

 

Megas XLR: Had plenty of action combined with clever parodies and great humor. It at least went out with a bang.

A butt ton of 90s shows were cut off. Like-they ended the Powerpuff Girls stupidly. Hell, it never even aired the last episode. You had to buy the whole season packs.

 

If Anime counts High School of the Dead. It never finished.

 

Elfin Lied...

 

Hell...I kind of wish they made more Corpse Party anime. Tortured Souls just ENDS after they return. Nothing really Is expanded. It ends with Satoshi losing his arms..I think its Kizami's parting gift.

That seems to be the case with Cartoon Network, with Nickodeon and Disney they just spam all this teen garbage with bland Mary Sue/Gary Stu like characters.

I have to agree with this.

 

101 ways to leave a gameshow. That was no doubt one of the funniest series ever. And it got canceled only after like a season and a half. 

[Bucket 107]

It's been said before, but invader zim. Also sidekicks was a cool one.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

One show that I did forget to mention was Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!

 

Man, I enjoyed that show SO much. Easily my #2 or #3 cartoon.

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

Invader Zim (Umm... it was one of the best cartoons to air on TV...)

Honestly, the old Super Mario Bros. cartoon from way back in the early 90's (I think). It was actually GOOD. Really good. ONLY AIRED 1 SEASON.

Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. RIP, this cancelled show will be dearly missed.

Chowder (Has this really not been mentioned yet? :/)

100 Ways To Die. That was interesting. It NEEDS to go on!

Powerpuff Girls They have a new series, but really, the old one was better. It ended too early.

Mr. Meaty. Nobody has ever watched this apparently, or they thought it was really corny.

Anime in the US:

Yu Yu Hakosho

Naruto Shippuden (Not too much of a fan, but it's hilarious how Disney picked it up, didn't realize it involved brutally killing a man with four hearts, they made it disappear and never spoke of it again)

Sailor Moon (Every. Time.)

[Pat.Rio.T. 305]

FI-RE-FLYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It makes me so sad

Star Wars The Clone Wars: We saw Ahsoka leave the jedi order after being accused of murder, her name may have been cleared but we didn't see anything after that. Darth Sideous brought Darth Maul back in but we didn't see what he did with him. There are apparently unaired episodes available on Netflix from what I hear and while I didn't see them I doubt they would answer all of these questions.

About that...

Did you that there is now a whole new season already out on Netflix? And two more seasons scripted?

[Flamestreak1990 1,172]

american dragon jake long was a great show it lasted 2 seasons :okiedokielokie:

[Banul 3,831]

Tron: Uprising. It had a full first season, but you could tell that they intended to have more. It's a shame, because it was a great show with great characters.

[Transblitz 129]

My main two are Danny Phantom and Storm Hawks.

DP technically got an ending, but it was only because they knew it was ending, so we got Phantom Planet. It was a nice conclusion to the show, but disappointing knowing that Danielle's storyline was cancelled and the true finale, including a final battle with Evil-Danny, would never come.

Storm Hawks on the other hand, left on such a big cliffhanger that it caused me physical pain when it was cancelled. I don't know what it is about that show that makes me love it so much. Maybe its the villain, Cyclonis is awesome.

A quick runner up I'd say is Tron Uprising, the only show I really watched on Disney XD.

1. Battlestar Galactica (The first one. When Starbuck was a guy.)
