I heard that the next season of Chuck is only 13 episodes and will be the last?
I been slowly watching it and currently on season 2 can anyone tell me if thats true and is it ending because they planned for it or are they getting cancelled?


Its true. NBC gave them a 13 episode season to wrap things up. Which was sporting of them with the change of managment, low ratings and other stuff.  It nearly got cancelled the year prior, except that Subway saved the show. So thank Big Mike's eating habits for that. I believe they are also moving the show to Fridays. I'll miss it when its gone.

As for my list:
Firefly
Veronica Mars
Jack of All Trades

Adam Baldwin is great. Gina Torres (also from Firefly) is getting work on that new USA show Suits.

Yes it is, but before that, it was almost cut after Series 2 (or during, rather).  The producers managed to convince the BBC to run a 5 episode series 3 with a drastically smaller budget - and now they've managed to get into a deal with Starz that will let them continue the show for at least another single season.  I guess it's future depends on whether US audiences really like it or not (I'm guessing not)

Its trying to be a Legal version of White Collar, and it mostly succeeds at that. The main character is faking being a lawyer without a law degree. He's got a photographic memory so he knows the law but gets tripped up by not realizing how the game is played. His mentor is a master game player, and the show focuses on their relationship.

Its fine, but I mostly watch it because I'm on the channel anyways that night to see Burn Notice. Image IPB

Firefly, Dollhouse, Caprica, and Arrested Development all deserved much longer lives. Especially Caprica.

The worst part about Caprica was that this was the one sci-fi show on the SyFy channel that actually seemed to have a well thought-out plot and direction. It's predecesor, BSG, was great and had amazing characters, and intensely dramatic situations. However, BSG, like pretty much all the SyFy channel series, had a plot that basically went nowhere and that nobody thought through ("and they have a plan" my ass). Caprica was different. It was more like ASoIaF than SG-A

Terminator - TSCC and Angel immediately spring to mind. I don't want Fringe to go the same way. :(

As much as I hate that it's gone, I'm really loving seeing that so many other folks liked Dead Like Me...
No one else I know in real life has even heard of it.

Old, old stuff: Masquerade; Salvage 1; Remington Steele; Columbo; Mrs. Columbo; pretty much any scripted show with decent actors and self-contained episodes.

Semi-old stuff: Alias; Andromeda; Xena; Firefly.

Things I HOPE they don't cancel: Leverage; In Plain Sight; Chuck; White Collar

Firefly - it seems everyone wants that back.
Stargate: Universe (as much as some people didn't understand, and others didn't like it - thought it was great myself)
Crusade (the Babylon 5 spin-off)

HBO's Rome- I sing a dirge at least once a month that it was cancelled.

The Unit- I listen to the theme song (the original drill call) on my mp3

Terminator SCC- also very bitter about this one

Arrested Development- WTF, America. Really, WTF. All the idiotic reality TV shows and this gets cut?

I was going to say BBC's run of Torchwood when I read the thread title. I don't dislike Mircale Day  I just miss Tosh Owen and Ianto. In a very sarcastic way of thinking I'm just waiting for them to kill Jack off so the series can revolve around Black Hole Sue Gwen Cooper as it had been slowly becoming. Gwen's a great character but did everyone in Cardiff have to be hopelessly in love with her? Regardless of that very minor flaw its still one of my favorite shows.

Throwing Farscape into the mix knowing good and well it did itself a favor by ending when it did and then giving us The Peacekeeper Wars. I still use "Crakers don't matter!" as a definitive arguement. :(  Edit: Much love to f1r3storm for originally throwing it into the mix, sorry I missed it!

Paul Dini/Bruce Timm's DC Animation run Batman TAS - JLU. I know it spans multiple series and the VA's continue to be attached to projects in other mediums but to have a creative team going from 92-(I want to say 06) and keeping it fresh throughout is something you really don't see. Dini himself said that the reason the original Batman (then had become The Adventures of Batman and Robin) only stopped production was that they had run out of new ideas and didn't want the show to suffer because of it.


Spectacular Spiderman. In my opinion the best rendition of Spidey on the small screen. The narrative, the characters, the voice acting, were all superb. Certainly a shame to see it go and have an Ultimate Spiderman series take its place. I can't say anything about the show preemptively but I think Marvel's Ultimate comics are some of the worse to have been printed to date. I'm also looking at you Brand New Day!

Stella. The show was genius because of how ridiculous it was, but it got cancelled after 10 episodes and got replaced by Mind of Mencia. WTF Comedy Central. WTF Comedy Central viewers.

This isn't from the TV series, but this is the type of stuff they would do:
