Favorite underrated/cancelled TV show? - Off-Topic

#1 Posted by cheddarhead4 (28 posts) - 2 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

I wanted to find out about some good shows to watch, that maybe i haven't heard of before, and I also wanted to mourn the greatness that was Firefly. What's your favorite?

#2 Posted by Sylver (1528 posts) - 2 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

Redwall
It's probably the most awesome animated tv show I ever watched. I haven't started reading the books til now (which are more for teen ages than younger kids like the tv show), and I think the books are by far better (but really, what movie/tv show has ever outdone its book?), but I think the tv show did it justice.
Even tho it's about animals, the characters (at least, in the books) have very diverse and unique personalites that really get you attached. Martin the Warrior, Mattimeo, and Redwall all made up the show, and it rocked. *sniffle sniffle* what madness made them take it off?? Whyyyyyy????!!!!!!!

oh I forgot about that show, it really was awesome

I read the books first in elementary school and I think they should have adapted some more of them into the television series...like Long Patrol or Mariel of Redwall or Salamandastron...heck, all of them would have been nice

I loved that show, and I read most of the books as a teenager. They could have kept going with that for a long time( I would have love to see Marlfox, Salamadastron, the Long Patrol, and The Taggerung). Really brutal books about woodland creatures.
Other shows:
Frisky Dingo
Code Monkeys
Reaper

Your kidding right???.
If not have you heard of the movie Serenity, it was made to finish what the creators wanted to do with Firefly after cancellation. Movie was awesome and a box office hit.

#38 Posted by Tomokata (461 posts) - 2 years, 10 months ago - Show Bio

@Sexy Merc: LOL, Firefly is basically a Western set in space. You have the veteran of the losing side captain with his code trying to do right while struggling to earn a living, and his pretty much insane crew pitching in. It's a Joss Whedon creation, which practically guarantees interesting and engaging characters and background. They started trying to tell Whedon how to make the show, he said no, and they cancelled it. If you like excellent sci-fi, Firefly is a must. As is Farscape.

It just got extremely good in the fifth season and they were prepped for another but then they got canceled. A giant sham.
