      Re Peripheral …. Seems to be a victim of the strike, according to Wikipedia. Last I heard it was renewed for a season 2. But they canceled it anyway.

      Oh, Terminator was so good. Lena Headey was great as Sarah Connor.

    I don’t think The Orville was officially cancelled but there doesn’t seem to be any plans for more as far as I know. The last season was great and set up more potential storylines.

    My Name is Earl. One of my all time favorites and it was surprise cancelled on a cliffhanger.

      If you want closure, here’s what was planned for the ending:

      Garcia said the finale would begin with Earl getting stuck on a really hard list item, frustrated that he would never finish crossing everything off his list. “Somebody shows up at our motel door,” added Suplee recently, “finds us at the bar, and starts to make amends to Earl for something.” Earl would then question where the man got such an idea and “goes back and finds all these people who have lists, who are out there trying to do good, and it all comes back to him. He was the beginning of this.” Garcia concluded, "Earl eventually realizes that his list started a chain reaction of people with lists and that he’s finally put more good into the world than bad. So at that point he was going to tear up his list and go live his life. Walk into the sunset a free man. With good karma.

        Literally one of favourite TV shows ever, and just two seasons*. So many good feelings and great characters. Awesome actors and some of Douglas Adams’s best books ever?

        Netflix fucking sucks man.

      You think Netflix fucked over that Dirk Gently?

      ITV made a Dirk Gently show that was FOUR EPISODES LONG and it was better than the other show.

        Gotta admit I didn’t watch that… I found out about it after I finished the Netflix show, and that it was cancelled. So I felt salty. Maybe I should watch it…

          It’s much closer to the books. It deserved at least a British season of six episodes.

          I also like Stephen Mangan’s Dirk more than Samuel Barnett’s Dirk, but then I’d watch Stephen Mangan read a newspaper.

    Rome on HBO was a solid show covering an exciting time in Roman history. Sucks that they only had 2 seasons.

      It was too expensive to rebuild the set after the fire. I loved that show.

        I’ve heard the rumor of it taking a ridiculously long break, 10-20 years, before it will continue. Fincher wants to jump the storyline ahead from the 70’s to the 90’s and have the actors looks age appropriate. Who knows it’ll that’s really true, or anyone involved will still retain interest. But, if Twin Peaks can pull it off…

      Farscape is always my answer to these questions. I enjoyed Peacekeeper Wars, but it definitely felt rushed. Had it been a full season, it would have been frelling amazing.

      Carnivale was so good. I don’t remember anything about it other than it being good at this point and I’m not going to ruin it by watching it again.
