Wolverine and the X-Men had a really great first season, I have no idea why it stopped there. They even had a cliffhanger at the end of last episode.

[Cyber Link 8]

Man I miss Clone High, it was ended on a cliff hanger and was eluding to a second season... but I guess THAT never happened... 

[Shanks 10,816]

Thundercats 2011

Star Wars The Clone Wars

Young Justice

Green Lantern the Animated Series

Invader Zim

Symbionic Titan

Megas XLR

[RED20 289]

Motorcity, that show was so awesome.

[Zhortac 1,475]

Reboot was cancelled on a cliffhanger that still makes me mad. Megabyte is in the Principal Office, our heroes are scattered and he plans to hunt them one by one. And then...nothing! 

 

No it wasn't. It ended with a total system Reboot, after Gigabyte got his ass kicked, and Mainframe was wrecked beyond belief. The only weird part, was the system restore created another young Enzo, so there's two Enzo's.

While it wasn't Cancelled per se. Cutting down the story and giving it a send off doesn't really count as finishing it either.

And OP, Terra Nova was terrible, predictable, and I couldn't watch the CG for another second.
Jurassic Park had better CG that is good even today and that was made in 1993!

Tower Prep :'( 

It was the ONLY good show out of that whole CNReal thing...

[The Coffee Pony 1,390]

Firefly

 

Star Trek

 

Star Trek: Enterprise

 

Doctor Who (Sylvester McCoy's era)

 

Doctor Who (Paul McGann's Era. The movie was a pilot for a relaunch show and it was fun but unfortunately while the movie was fun and rating were very high in the UK, it didn't get to continue because Fox poorly advertised it and it didn't do so well here. DAMMIT FOX!!!)

 

Spider-Man The Animated Series (While it did have a good run, they did have more stories planned but alas, internal politics killed it DAMMIT FOX!!!)

 

Spider-Man Unlimited

 

Spider-Man: The New Animated Series (It ended on just a terrible note )

 

Spectacular Spider-Man (As you can see I'm a huge fan of Spider-Man and it always pains me to see one end before its time)

 

Star Wars the Clone Wars (This one not as much as anything else on this list. Yeah, they had more stories to tell and I wish I could see more but It did have a good long run of 121 episodes and 6 seasons. Oh well, Star Wars Rebels is coming out, I'm excited. We spent a good long time on the Clone War Era but I think it's about time we revisited the Galactic Civil War Era and gave it its own show. Best of luck to it!)

 

Avenger's Earth's Mightiest Heroes (A good show that was cancelled to make way for another. DAMMIT DISNEY!!!!!)

 

Invader Zim

 

Transformers Animated

 

Teen Titans

 

I'm sure there are others but I can't think of any at the moment.

Samurai Jack is one of my favourite cartoons of all time, and my all time fave from the 2000s. Why the f*ck did it only last 4 seasons and 3 years?

[Castle Bleck 19,401]

Megas XLR, Teen Titans, Young Justice, Generator Rex, Thundercats 2011, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, etc.

This little Disney Show right here.

 

They need to bring this back, because this cartoon had genius writing.

[Shift 4,274]

Firefly and Merlin (I do believe it was cancelled) are the big ones.

His and Her Circumstances. It was quite the interesting experiment while it lasted, and I would have very much liked to have seen the results if they'd had a proper budget and had been able to finish what they started. As it is, the finished product is plagued with recaps and a horribly anticlimactic ending. Makes me wonder if this is how people felt when Evangelion ended the way it did....

 

Firefly, sorta. I want more, but I'm not convinced I would cherish what we have as much as I do if it had gone on longer. It would have probably dropped in quality severely somewhere down the line. The follow-up film Serenity did enough damage to it already (didn't like it all that much, sorry).

[Art Thief 215]

We need better animated comic book shows, all the ones on right are pretty shit...

I still rewatch futurama episodes. I'd love another few seasons.

[Guest]

This show and House MD, will never miss this show, the emotional moments always made me cry.  

[ultrairongorilla 2,064]

Futurama and No Ordinary Family. I really liked No Ordinary Family, it's just the ending left off on such a massive cliffhanger

 Birdy the Mighty had a similar issue, because it didn't do well enough in Japan, so they just left it off on such an annoyingly sour cliffhanger.

The Spectacular Spider-Man

Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Wander over Yonder.  Hopefully there will be third season one day.

[Flutterstep 47,315]

Family Guy...now hold up, I know that's it's still up and running, but here's thing:

The first seasons of Family Guy were a lot of fun, had some good morals but also didn't take itself too seriously. It was canceled as views were not high, but DVD sales revived it.

Unfortunately, this somewhat killed it for me. A few years had past and the passion and direction of the show changed dramatically. It relied too much on shock humour (that's funny, but admittedly lazy) and random drawn out humour, which serves horrible for replayability. It also became too political with no attempt of subtlety or even a cohesive story to go with it.

All in all, it's not the same anymore dispite how successful it's doing. If it were never cancelled to begin with I'd think it would remain a good show and not remembered as a lazy worn-out cartoon.

Two words: So Weird. One of the best live action shows that Disney Channel ever had. Stupid 65 episode syndication rule.

[cmarston1 5,962]

Thundercats 2011 is a show that I really wish wasn't canceled.  It had great animation and fight sequences, an interesting story and great characters, and I really wanted to see where the story was going.  I would love it if adult swim were to revive it like how Samurai Jack got its 5th season to concluded its story, but I don't think that will ever happen.

Hopefully we can eventually get a third Thundercats cartoon, one that gets to complete its story, maybe on Netflix in a similar style to Voltron Legendary Defender.

Las Vegas...I binge watched the whole series on TNT even my daughter was born and I was a stay at home dad, only to find out ended on an unresolved season finale cliffhanger, before getting cancelled between seasons. the worst way to end a show.

[FalloutBrony 137]

Terra nova was an amazing show I really wish it kept going it left off on a cliffhanger.

 Jericho one of my favourite nuclear apocalypse tv shows that got cancelled.
