I've been seeing this on everyone's blogs and it looks like fun. Plus, more posting = good, right?

Day 01 - A show that never should have been cancelled
Wow, I could go in a variety of directions here. There's the shows that were cancelled just as they were starting to get interesting, and ones that were in their prime and should have been left alone. There at the ones that were cancelled eventually, when maybe the chop should have come sooner. Hmmm.
I think I'm going to have to choose Deadwood here. The other possibilities - Firefly, original Star Trek, even Babylon 5 - had some sort of chance to tie up loose ends and bring their respective story arcs to a close, whereas Deadwood was cut mid-flow. As a result, we have a third season with several nonsensical characters and an ending that is a whimper, not a bang. I would have given anything to see the show run until the town's eventual burning, but it was not to be.
