For me it would have to be The Owl House

    I’m surprised no one mentioned My name is Earl, it’s a tv show about a guy who wins the lottery and is immediately hit by a car, he then hears about Karma so he decides to turn his life around by making amends for all of the wrong things he did. It’s a very fun comedy, and it was cancelled on a cliffhanger because the producers specifically asked if they were getting a next season and were told yes.

    This one is the one that hurts me the most, because they knew how the ending was going to be, but didn’t got thr chance to film it, and it would have been perfect. Essentially he would have gotten to an item on the list that he just couldn’t do, whenever he tried something would prevent him from doing it, and it would seem that karma was against him. But then someone would come to him wanting to make amends for something they’ve done to him, and he would ask where the person got the idea, and it would be because someone made amends to him, and he would keep pulling at that thread until he found out that he inspired people around him to make their own lists, and those people inspired others, and so on and so forth so he would feel that he finally did more good than bad and would tear up the list and continue with his life. Oh, and the cliffhanger? It wouldn’t matter, it was just going to be an excuse to bring some celebrity, they didn’t even knew who the father was going to be.

    PS: if you liked My name is Earl, and you weren’t aware there’s another TV show by the same people called Raising Hope which is the same style of comedy, with a bunch of the same actors, and they make constant references to MNiE.

      I’m here to see if anyone else said this. 100% agree!

      I need to know if the male affection and hand sniffing continued to escalate!

    Santa Clarita Diet. It’s not too late (6 years ago) and they could still bring it back for a finale run of episodes or film.

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It’s too late (16 years ago) but the show had just started to figure itself out and setup a HUGE cliffhanger that sadly goes nowhere.

        I haven’t rewatched firefly in over a decade I think. What has aged so terribly? Also why is the anti hero thing so bad? Played out now?

            Those are all good points though I disagree a bit with the brown coats/confederates but I get what you mean.

            I think I’ll let that show sit in my memory as it is. Without rewatching any of it I can definitely see the issues. Especially Jayne thinking more on it
