What is/was your favorite quickly-cancelled TV show?
A lot of shows - especially on FOX - get cancelled quite quickly.
Some recently cancelled shows that I can remember off the top of my head that only lasted a season or two at best:
Standoff... Wonderfalls... The War at Home... Drive... Viva Laughlin... Vanished... Justice... Studio 60... and many many more.
So, what is/was your favorite quickly-cancelled TV show?

not in any order
"the war at home"-at least it had a full season,have to agree on "firefly" (also Angel should have gone to a season 6)
there was a show a few years ago called "the war next door"(usa network)i thought that was funny gone after 6 episodes
the writers strike may make CBS decide not to keep going with "the big bang theory"
the history channel had shows "Engineering an empire"
and" Decisive battles," not sure what happened with those or why they never came back.
Time of your life.(jennifer love hewitts party of 5 spinoff ).fox never gave it a chance to grow
the adventures of brisco county jr fox(at least they could have finished season 2)
jack of all trades wpix before the WB
cleopatra 2525 wpix before the WB
the half hour news hour on fox news(just vanished one day)
ROME on HBO could have gone on but HBO tightened their wallets to prepare themselves for when they run out of Soprano money
rome wasnt Exactly quickly cancelled (2 seasons)but their reasons are still mind boggling they claim that they only planned on making 2 seasons i dont believe them lol

The two that pop into my head are Birds of Prey on the WB which I admit wasn't that good but there were a few episodes that were true to the comics-I loved seeing Dina Meyer as Batgirl. I think if it got a full season it could have improved.
My other one was Reunion on Fox-I loved that show and it had me guessing every week. They promised that if they got cancelled they would be able to wrap it up and let us know who killed the character that was killed and once it got cancelled they said they couldn't do it because it was complicated. They did at least reveal who the killer was and it truly shocked me and I was sad that I couldn't watch that unfold on tv.
Damn you FOX!!!

First is Firefly
Second is Doctor Doctor (Matt Frewer starred) It was on CBS in 1989 - funniest show ever!
