Best TV Series Cancelled Too Soon
We have all been there. You fall in love with a brilliant, whimsical, moving TV series that you *know* is flying under the radar or struggling in the ratings, and then out of nowhere -- BOOM! -- cancelled. A series with terrific promise cut short of its prime. Devil!!! Dozens of amazing TV shows have fallen into that trap over the years, and now the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to determine: what is the Best TV Series Cancelled Too Soon? Is it “Freaks and Geeks”? “Twin Peaks”? “Better Off Ted”? “Firefly”? “Sports Night”? “Pushing Daisies”? “Sense8”? “Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23”? “My So-Called Life”? “Galavant”? Or something unexpected?
Host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Amma Marfo, Joelle Boedecker, and Kate Racculia discuss the best TV series to get cut after two seasons or less. Which short-lived show was best?
