Wow, I thought the shows I missed was all just me, then I see others listing **It’s Your Move** and **Alien Nation** and **Brisco County**. I do have a couple more I haven’t seen mentioned: **Earthworm Jim** - a cartoon for adults and kids alike. and **Soap** , just because I have seen all the reruns on Comedy Central like 10 times and really want to know what happens to all the characters. They leave everybody about to die, and the series ends. ---

In no particular order: Police Squad! also Sledge Hammer Bosom Buddies Magnificient Seven Beauty and the Beast (LOVED Ron Perlman!) And finally, one not mentioned before: When Things Were Rotten. How could you NOT like a show about Robin Hood and his Merry Men, written by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry? (And it was TONS better than “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”!) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by OrcaChow \* > \*\*_Space: Above and Beyond_… It seemed to get chopped so suddenly. After the unit suffers no attrition to the regulars so unrealistically for so much of the war, most of them get snuffed in the last minutes of the last episode. It was a weird and crummy end to a series. Granted, it’s more of an end than most series get. > \*\* Did they mean that to be the series finale? I thought the last ep was a season cliffhanger, and they didn’t renew the series the next season. Either way, you’re right; it was chopped too soon. _MST3K_ - Does anyone know if we will _ever_ get the see the earlier episodes again? _Quantum Leap_ _Cartoon Planet_ _Batman: The Animated Series_ _Babylon 5_ ---

_Batman: The Animated Series_ has been cancelled? Arrrgh! I never really watched _F & G_ but would’ve enjoyed seeing Joel and Trace in 70’s gear. ---

During the UPN network’s first season there was a show called **Pigsty** that I absolutely LOVED!! It was about a bunch of guys that lived in this big apartment in New York…lots of frat style humor, but I never missed an episode. No standout stars, just a good ensemble cast of characters…it was hilarious! It was on right before a really stupid show called **Playtpus Man** that starred Richard Jeni. Both shows disappeared around the same time when they re-vamped the network. I also miss **Sifl and Oly**. They were Crescent Fresh!! ---

Quantum Leap’s final show was a letdown. My hope was that they would wrap up not only that show. but also “Time Tunnel” Two birds with one stone. Both shows were on NBC. ---

> [@](#): > > _MST3K_ - Does anyone know if we will _ever_ get the see the earlier episodes again? You can buy several episodes from the fan club (manufactured by Rhino). The Sci-Fi shows will rerun for a few more months. Otherwise, go to [http://www.mst3kinfo.com](http://www.mst3kinfo.com) and check the tape traders section. (note to moderator: check out the site yourself for that last bit). ---

“The STATE (on Mtv)” “Key West” I would almost say MST3K, but it ran it’s course punk snot dead, broccoli! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-thread-for-lamenting-your-cancelled-tv-shows/43668.md?page=4)
