Ran across this and though I don't agree with about half, it still isn't a bad list. I do think the 'The Sarah Connor Chronicles' did a good arch and had a good finish. 'Star Trek: Enterprise' spent far to much time on time travel. I had forgotten 'Space Above and Beyond', which I thought to be very good. And lastly he left off two programs which I believe should have been on the list 'Brimestone' and 'Alien Nation.

Farscape and Dollhouse had good multi-season runs.
I like Stargate Universe. I’d like to add Babylon 5 Crusade.

No Tripods?

[BenLurkin]

Spome of these were indeed cancelled too soon.

Others had simply run their course.

My favorites on the list (both types included): Jericho, Terra Nova, Sarah Connor, Star Gate Universe, V, and Caprica.

Not sure about the others but I tried to watch a couple episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise. Found it very boring and was not surprised when it got the axe. That being said, the reruns of Next Generation showing on BBC America also leave me snoring now. And I enjoyed that show when it was originally being run in the 80's and early 90's.

[longtermmemmory]

only agree 1/2 way with one.

many of them should have been cancelled FASTER.

[BuffaloJack]

‘Space Above and Beyond’ was my very favorite.

[Bullish]

I’ve never even seen any of them.

Farscape was awesome but at first glance seemed a little overblown with all the Jim Henson space aliens and elaborate sets. So, it took me several seasons to get to the point of actually sitting through an episode, and I was hooked, the scripts and acting are first rate, the Jim Henson work is a visual treat, even locations that are striking. Very unusual storylines at times, startling actually. It was cancelled shortly after I gained an appreciation for it, and that was a pity.

I thought “The Sarah Conner Cronicles” was too whiney. I’m supposed to believe John Conner was a cry baby teen?

I didn’t like the concept of “Enterprise” from the beginning. Totally made up lore and history. Archer the first captain of a warp drive ship? No thanks. Didn’t buy it.

“Space 1999” was good but a BBC show that didn’t get much play in all American markets. Same producers of “UFO” which was pretty good. And of course they first did Thunderbirds! Gerry Anderson and his wife.

I loved “Alien Nation” as a series.

It's an older pic, but the message is still valid...

I absolutely loved Firefly from the first moment I saw it, and that was *after* the Serenity movie came out. We stumbled across "Serenity" because the movie we went to the theater to see was sold out.

Although there were the usual SciFi logic-leaps (never stated but presumed faster than light travel), I liked that FireFly *tried* to keep many aspects plausible (no aliens, all life forms encountered traced their origin back to old earth, still using gunpowder and lead for personal weapons, etc).

And it had a sort of Cowboys in space vibe. Best SciFi series I have ever seen and and absolutely mind-boggling that Fox cancelled it in the middle of the first season.

Firefly - Nothing to say here. We were robbed. I am about to make sacrilegious comments - the universe of this show was BETTER than Star Trek’s. The writing for the characters make Star Trek’s look like cardboard cut-outs. The franchise potential was BETTER than Star Trek’s.

Jericho - Possibly ahead of it’s time, people weren’t able to pick up on the story.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Never mind the plot (pretty good), I could watch Summer Glau just WALK for an hour. Seriously. Like a flamingo, but better.

Threshold - Really wild ideas, very good actors, it was never given a chance.

[rhinohunter]

They forgot the original “Battlestar Galactica” -— not to be confused with the atrocious “Galactica 1980”

[x]

I didn't see most of them them and didn't want to.

Flash Forward was pretty good, though. I saw it on DVD and was getting really into it when they canceled it.

Jericho's cancellation was one that really hurt. Cable should have picked it up. You can think of a lot of today's post-apocalyptic TV -- Walking Dead, Falling Skies -- as sequels.

Dark Skies should also be on the list. It wasn't just a sci-fi show. It was also a pretty good [alternative] history show. There were limits to how far the series could actually go, I guess.

Harsh Realm, a show about virtual reality, should also have gotten a better shot at success.

[Dalberg-Acton]

Battlestar Galactica was around long after the writers had no clue of where to go with the story.

Good riddance to that stinker.

[Crusher138]

Anyone else remember Lexx?

[Hot Tabasco]

I liked Jerico and thought it was cancelled too soon. When it comes to SciFy, the Networks seem to be too quick to cancel popular series whereas the cables will carry them for a while longer.

As an aside, if any series are destined to be cancelled, at least the producers should be forced to have an obvious conclusion rather than just leaving its fans wondering WTF........

[Rockingham]

The two shows that I rue the loss of are Firefly and Farscape.

[jimfree]

Quark. Oh my, that was 1977.

[TomGuy]

IIRC, Earth 2 ended at season 2 with a cliff hanger.
