It wasn't nearly enough. We were cheated out of another amazing season, and given a rushed, if passable 2-part miniseries. The kind of crazy hilarious shit that could have been, but never was... so sad.

I wish they didn't skimp on him dying so much after the first few episodes.
Making him come back to life in the nearest body of water was bad idea as it was really public and kind of wrote them in a corner with how to get home while naked and whatnot. Shouldn't have just had him respawn like in the place he considers home or some shit.

This was a good show.The lead actor wasn't the type to get lead roles, so it sucked when it got cancelled. I think I've seen him like twice after the show.

Constantine. That show was fucking great and I loved the fast pacing of it. There was never down time. Shit was always moving forward. Such a shame.
>>
There was a cop procedural from like, 7-8 years ago that I remember really liking. Only episode I can remember with any detail involved a guy modeling his kills after a GTA style videogame and for whatever reason, having it out for the black 'chief' of the squad or whatever. For a long time I thought it was Criminal Minds but I don't think it was.

Also sad about The Crazy Ones and Constantine.

I agree. Although I didn't enjoy Lucy Liu shoehorned in there for a while. I agree with Bill Murray. She's not that great an actress. Only thing I've really enjoyed with her was Kill Bill Vol. 1

But I digress. Southland was a great series. And that "What Makes Sammy Run" episode was patrician tier cop show

lmao i knew this shit will end up cancelled.

and the same will happen with Minority Report

Pretty good show, but like most Sci-fi it turned too expensive to keep running. It had some success, but really needed more to keep it afloat. They banked hard on a high success, as seen with high-end actors. Unfortunately they got mediocre results
>>
>>62990658
I forgot about that. It's been too long since I've watched it. And fucking fox playing the episode out of order didn't help their cause.

My go-to for these threads is Human Target. Seriously, just give it a try. Only watch season 1, though. Season 2 is textbook executive meddling
>>
>>62990683
They fucked around with the time slots as well, guaranteeing that nobody would watch it on TV itself.

Even so, Sci-Fi promised a fifth season, then pulled the plug at the last minute. But what really stings, is how they turned around and replaced it with BSG which would end up getting all of the acclaim and popularity that Farscape deserved but never received.

Btw, moar Farscape webms, plz

That's stretching it, BSG and Farscape were both good in their own way. But they were different. Farscape took a more comedic, "far out" approach that generally is more niche than BSG's. BSG tried a really intricate plot (not saying it paid off) and tackled philosophical ideas. Both explored humanity in the end, just in different ways. BSG taking the more normie route

BSG was fantastic for a bit, then turned mediocre, and finally became complete shit with it's ending.

At least it had an ending. Shows cancelled before they can wrap up things is a crime.

I wasn't trying to belittle BSG, if that's how it seemed. I think it's a great show, at least until the godawful finale.

Nevertheless, I can't help but feel somewhat bitter that Farscape was cancelled and quickly forgotten about, then replaced by a show that I didn't love nearly as much but was far more successful in every respect
