Is it too late to mention _Duckman_? One of my favourite cartoons, FWIW… ---

Duckman was fantastic but it ran too long - some of the episodes in the later series showed a distinctive lack of steam which, IMHO, took away from the brilliance of the earlier series. Another show you can’t get on DVD. :mad: ---

I’d like to see Stargate SG-1 and Quincy come back. ---

[QUOTE=Fiveroptic] [Now and Again](http://imdb.com/title/tt0212395/) Yeah, it wasn’t _great_ science fiction but it was entertaining. That’s all I need. They killed the series with a cliff-hanger, too, the bastards. [/QUOTE] Yep. I hope the execs who pulled the plug spend eternity looking up Judas Iscariot’s ass. ---

Add me to the fans who want more _MST3K_ _Daria_ _My So-Called Life_ And my two favorite shows, neither of which have been mentioned yet _That 70s Show_ _Fawlty Towers_ ---

Well I’ll add another mention of _Firefly_ and _Dead Like Me_ to the mix. Two great shows that I miss terribly. Also screw Fox for cancelling _Drive_ after four episodes. Last year I borrowed all the seasons of _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ from a friend. I’d never seen it before. And when I finished the last episode of the last season, I felt empty. I think I accomplished 0% productivity during the time period where I was watching the show. I haven’t watched _Angel_ yet, and while my friend hates it I think I still might enjoy it. But I don’t have an easy way to pick up all five seasons. I’m not surprised, though, that I’m the first person in three pages to mention the show _Titus_. I think it was one of the best “sitcoms” I’ve ever seen, although I think it’s a bit strange for a sitcom. Three seasons was great, but I would have preferred many, many more. I’m also in perpetual fear that _How I Met Your Mother_ is going to be canceled and become a show that was cut off too soon. But since it looks good for a fourth season, I think I can stop living in fear.
