What show do you still miss? What show were you really upset about when it ended?


I still miss the 4077th.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

M*A*S*H was among the great ones, but I understood, it was past time to go...hell, the series lasted over 4 times longer than the Korean War itself LOL

Prob'ly more shows overstayed their welcome IMHO than died too young, but one in particular still stands out that pissed me off to no end when it got the ax was a little docu series called Our World, with Linda Ellerbie & the late Ray Gandolf...it's been 20 years since the unlucky 13th episode aired, yet I still have the complete season on VHS. Each episode focused on a day/week/month/season from a year in the (mostly) recent past, usually in the lifetime of us baby boomers, & it's still one of the smartest shows I ever saw on network TV; too smart for its own good, apparently. It was set up against the Cosby Show juggernaut, & while I enjoyed watching the Huxtable clan in their early days (before each episode became a sermon rather than a sitcom), "World" was a nice alternative for the 10% of us that wanted to see something other than what everybody else watched...plus, ABC had to know they couldn't win that time slot, & since a little show produced by their news division cost only a little more than running a test pattern, I thought they could at least give it a little more time...

Me too, that's why I have purchased the DVD set, and now I can watch it whenever I want....err have time.

I miss the great writing and wit of the short-lived series Sports Night.

It was only on for 2 seasons, but great stuff.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

A good old spy thriller.

'Barney Miller' ended too soon. That show always presented a good cross section of our selves, and we know there are a lot more out there.

That show was created & written by Aaron Sorkin, the same guy behind The West Wing, another show that was too witty to stay on the air for long. He & his partner produced another great show last season, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, that got canceled before it had time to grow (& was worth watching just to look at Amanda Peet )

I never really Saw more than a fraction of a show, but I have always wanted to see
The Prisoner

West Wing was the one of the reasons that Sports Night was cancelled.

There were other contractual as well as ratings reasons, but unfortunatly, West Wing helped end Sports Night....oh well.

I don't know if this was intended to include religious programs. While the philosophy of the true meaning of life was laid down over 15 years, it wasn't enough for the common man to have full insight.

A travesty !

MASH...absolutely.

I'd also put West Wing on the list, and perhaps Seinfeld.
