One of the biggest developments in television this decade was the proliferation of TV on DVD. This allowed people to hold onto their beloved shows long past cancellation. This becomes especially important in terms of shows that achieved excellence and garnered a loving and devoted fan base, but couldn't quite get the ratings needed to stay on the air past a season or two.
Yesterday we voted on
TV comedies and the day before
TV dramas. Today we get great selections from both that would no doubt be on those lists if they had been allowed to stick around a little longer.
1) Freaks and Geeks
2) Firefly
3) Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
4) Jericho
5) Dollhouse
6) Pushing Daisies
7) Undeclared
8) The Tick
9) Wonderfalls
10) CarnivaleWhich on of these shows was the best of the decade?

I really would've liked to see a second season of "Freaks & Geeks."
the way the first season ends is a little grim.
Roswell! They finished it off suddenly
I loved Samatha Who?
Def. agree on Jericho and Pushing Daisies, but it has been started back, hasn't it?
this was back when we were REALLY little like really really...
that dinasoar show?? u remember??the one with the evil baby that says "Im the baby you gotta love me!"
omg freaks and geeks for sure.
i totally miss watching it.
then i got my cable cancelled so :(
Freaks and Geeks was much too raw back then. It's amazing to see what those people have amounted to... that show was so freaking good.
Pushing Daisies was one of my favorite shows!
@sexncookies@xanga - No thanks, I'm glad that show got cancelled, "not the mamma!!"
@Mr_Jin@xanga - hahaha!! I liked ittt
I loved that show Veronica Mars, and I was derpressed when they cancelled it. Plus Kristen Bell is freaking hot. :)
1) Freaks and Geeks is my vote, my psych teacher made us watch it for a grade, and I gotta say I didn't mind. Awesome show.
i'd have to pick 3 favorites Pushing Daisies, Doll House, and Firefly because Joss Whedon made it.
out of the entire list, I've only seen an episode or two of pushing daisies. I liked the canceled wb show called Related starring jennifer esposito and these other cute characters. I also liked the Boston Legal tv show
Firefly and Pushing Daisies for sure, although I really did like Freaks and Geeks
I've never seen any of these..Probably why they got cancelled...
method and red.
FIREFLY. Freaking Firefly, all the time. How is this a question???
I wanna Terminator sexy babe backkkk!!
Yep, I was definitely going to say Firefly.
FREAKS AND GEEKS! AND PUSHING DAISIES!
I want them back :'(
Freaks and Geeks!!!
@crazygrampastuey@xanga - especially with the error of having a 90s mini-van driving in a show set in 1980/81.
@sexncookies@xanga - OMG I SO REMEMBER THAT SHOW!!! I have the baby doll somewhere in my house
I've got one that's not on there; Playmakers on ESPN. Great show. 1 season. NFL stepped in and shut them down.
From the list I'd go with Jericho.
this is worse than the last list you did.
i'm going to go out on a limb and say the o.c. Â only because i doubt anyone would agree with my original vote of rocket power.
