Obligatory Firefly

Although the last time I watched it I really didn't think it held up like I expected.
GLOW.

Mother of god yes, I loved that one.
Fingers crossed every day that Netflix or someone picks it back up.

Firefly
The Class
Dark Angel
Undeclared

And just by the number I've already listed from Fox, I'll just say anything Fox canceled within two seasons.

Yeah, GLOW was always solid. Sad to see it go.

You guys must have seen a different last season of Glow than I did. The first season was filled with great moments. By the end it was just

A few years ago, Norm McDonald did a show on comedy central called Sports Show and I thought it was hilarious. I think it maybe lasted 5 episodes.
I heard it was cancelled because Norm was making fun of too many sacred cows, such as Bill Cosby, Google and Michael Jordan.

I'm actually rewatching Banshee now..... such a great series, especially to binge since it so fast paced... I would say I'm glad they ended it when they did though..... seemed to be running out of steam and I'd rather it go out on a high note than just go to shit

The final season tried to do too much since I don't think they new if they were being renewed or not.

Does anyone remember Get a Life with Chris Elliot, early 90s, the intro is him riding a bike as paper boy while Stand by REM plays? That show was freakin hilarious.

Yes! I love Chris Elliot. Glad he was a regular on Schitt's Creek.

Fringe. Literally, since it ended abruptly mid-season.

As funny as I think Norm is, I have friends who don't get him at all. I just don't understand that.

Norm is hilarious. I always thought it was crazy that Kimmel was the one who got picked up from the Man Show, but I get that Norm isn't everyone's cup of tea. Speaking of TMS - that show fits this thread perfectly. Chugging beers and girls on trampolines, does it get any better?

Norm has this real nervous awkward energy vibe that he uses to his advantage like a boss..... fucking hilarious..... his time on SNL was great

Norm is awesome. Kimmel...um; not so much. Banshee has to combine 2 seasons into 1 to finish out the story, once they found out they were getting canceled. Given that constraint; they did the best they could. I need to rewatch it again.
