The internet is kind of odd. So, has anyone ever seen a really great TV show that you fell in love with, but it got cancelled out of nowhere?
I read not too long ago that there have been recent talks to revive the La Femme Nikita franchise yet again, but nothing else has been said with regard to it. I still haven't seen the original French film, or the 90s series, but I got the American remake film, The Point of No Return & all four seasons of the 2010 reboot, Nikita, on DVD. The show was cancelled in 2013, but was given a six episode extension to finish it's story off, which it did prefectly well. Honestly, I still think it was the best TV series I've ever seen. Must've had a bigger underground following than I thought, too, because now all spy shows are trying to capture the same vibe that 2010 Nikita was giving off & tons of action films have similar hybrid fighting styles, like the one Maggie Q & the stunt team developed for that show. People are speculating that it might just be a continuation of the same story. I'll be all for it, so long as it's decent.
Another big one was Galavant. This one kind of slipped by about 5 years ago. It had two seasons on ABC, but only 8 episodes for season 1 & 10 for season 2. Plus, each season aired in it's entirety in January & never had any reruns on TV. There is now a DVD collection & it's on Netflix. This one did end on a cliffhanger, but a petition to bring it back for further seasons in being taken seriously by Netflix & the cast & some creators are in. Galavant was a musical sitcom about a knight who goes to rescue his one true love from a kidnapping king who wishes to marry her himself, only to find out that she's fine with the current situation. Years later, a Princess comes to him & his squire begging for help in overthrowing that same king, who has taken over her kingdom. The king was played by Timothy Omundson, or Lassie, from Psych. Despite the singing, the entire show was absolutely friggin hilarious. If you've never seen it, go do that.
Are there any others that you've heard of, or that you wish would? I know it's a bit too late, but I kind of wish we could get a real ending to Angel & a continuation or proper reboot of Legend of the Seeker, Revolution & Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
