Nothing as big as mentioned above but I would've loved another series of Megas XLR but also to keep the final two episodes of series 2 as the final episodes as I liked the end. Just stupid silly fun but I wouldn't have wanted it to drag on too long so 3 series would've been nice.

Defying Gravity
Doubt many people remember this but it was a really interesting hard scifi staring Ron Livingston about a mission across the solar system. Only got one season. In the US they basically binned it after a few episodes so it never really got a proper chance. Literally just ended with loads of setups unresolved, was very frustrating.

Replying to Nick. Yeah but it went up it’s own arse for the last couple so I’d wipe them and end it properly.

I did really enjoy Northern Exposure. Ed Chigliak was my spirit animal.

Farscape for sure, I didn't like the ending and didn't want it to end. Plus I only just realised the actor playing Ka D'Argo is Anthony Simcoe and I cannot unsee that now. Will watch again.
Stargate SG1, even by admission was wrapped up before it was originally planned. Sure following movies provided closure but there were bigger plans for the universe even if they did eventually migrate to Atlantis.
On that, Atlantis. Again wrapped up before time but at least they had a shot of concluding it. The last season definitely felt rushed and forced because it was. If MGM hadn't shit the bed who knows where it all would of went as they were pulling in plenty of Trek actors by the end of it.
Terra Nova, I was just getting into that.
Fringe.
Russel Coights All Aussie Adventures, could happily devour more of that.

Luckily I never follow any entertainment news so I have no idea what Whedon has done, so for me Firefly obviously. It was just a fun show.

Yes absolutely nothing happened after My Name is Earl NOTHING HAPPENED IT DEFINITELY DID NOT MAKE HIM TAKE UP PHOTOGRAPHY oh i don't know any photographers. 👀 had no idea that was his career move. I've always assumed it was a way of dealing with the trauma of being the Alvin & the Chipmuks guy |

The space exploration side was supposed to be 'realistic' and I think it had a fair few discussions about physics and operational protocols. Quite slow paced, very few action scenes. I think it was quite unique in this approach at the time. Your wife was almost certainly in the majority though, which is why the ratings bombed. Also it's so long ago I could be totally misremembering it. Would quite like to watch some of it again just to see if I've got rose tinted specs. No idea where I'd find it though. |

It sounded like one of the many series at the time that did absolutely nothing for nine episodes and then finally introduced the alien/monster/threat in the last ten minutes of the season finale, then wondered why it got cancelled.

Nothing so high brow as a lot of the others mentioned but I’d be very happy to see another series of Rab Florence’s Gamesmaster reboot

It seems there's a badly cropped upload of the first episode on YouTube. Skimmed through it. Definitely more soapy and less hard sci-fi than I remembered. The FX still look reasonable, and it was also one of the first HD series on BBC HD. Perhaps not the loss I thought it was. |

The Spectacular Spider-Man. Possibly the best animated version of Spidey to exist.
Hannibal. Maybe.
Edit - Also, the 80s Dungeons and Dragons cartoon that finished without resolving. Reading the script online of the last episode isn't enough!

Alien Nation
I was obsessed by this show back in the early days of the internet and built my very first website (hosted by the ISP at the time) around it.
The TV movies that followed that started off concluding the cliffhanger the series ended on ranged from ok to terrible. It works as a standard length episode but not feature length movie.

Sliders.
I don't know how they could bring it back but I'd watch it.

I think for me, it was mostly the chemistry of the main actors that carried a lot of it. And 6 full seasons of Atlantis, too. I never watched the one on the ship. |

Patriot on amazon, cancelling that was a crime.
I'd say Altered Carbon on netflix but the second season killed any enthusiasm I had for the show.

Mindhunter, Taxi.
Can’t think of anything else that didn’t either end well and should be left alone, or it has run its course and any more would be shit.

I think for me, it was mostly the chemistry of the main actors that carried a lot of it. And 6 full seasons of Atlantis, too. I never watched the one on the ship. SG1 was on it's way out anyway I just would of liked to see it conclude the way it was intended, probably one more season but it did have unfinished business and was seemingly going to set up the planned Atlantis expansion a bit more. Kind of the same with Atlantis, clearly the writers had other ideas going forward. They had more to give and I would of liked to see how that would of played out. They were shit canned at a time when they bigger plans. Could of easily stretched to 10 seasons and then get another spin off that wasn't Universe, which was terrible. The problem is by the last season and a half of Atlantis they knew they were being canned so changed the script to wrap it up, it was rushed and disjointed. They are still talking about a remake now, pretty sure there are numerous scripts laying around. Maybe just annoyed that Amazon took SG1 off while we were rewatching it and now it's nowhere to be found so watching Atlantis again. Also where did Sliders go, I'd totally watch that again and thought we did not so long ago. |

Mindhunter is a great shout. Personally I'd like to see Peep Show carry on, forever.

Nah, Peep Show ran its course. I hardly ever rewatch it now. I think it stops being really good around series 4 - the wedding was a good place to end it.
Not that it was bad at the end but it definitely didn't have the same impact, despite some good episodes.
