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?

dollhouse hasent been canceled yet and if it did i wouldnt be that worried. i dont even quite get what that show is about. i guess i liked the terminator show out of that whole list just because that chick in it was hot
carnivale
Pushing Daisies was such an amazing show. :] I loved it. As was Firefly!
@supaflychikn@xanga - I second rocket power
terminator
Never heard of any of them. :p I feel like I've lived under a rock, now.
Firefly!!! Amazing show!. Fuck you Fox!
@mrpokefan81@xanga - Oh my gosh, I LOVED Veronica Mars!!
Also Jericho and Dollhouse.
@silent_hunter46@xanga - Dollhouse has been canceled. They're just running off the last of the episodes now.
carnivale! i used to watch that when i was little and it was amazing! i loved it
@Emmahlee15@xanga - right?!?! awesome wasnt it?? i loved that show. my grandmother didnt like me watching it though..
Firefly, definitely. Freaks and Geeks would be my second choice.
My two favorite shows that ended too soon were Kyle XY and October Road. Barely anyone watched these shows, but while they were on the air, they were my absolute favorite.
21 jump street!!
Freaks and Greeks, Pushing Daises and Undeclared, all shows that left us too soon.
my so called life and vanishing son
Definitely Firefly, and I'm quite sad that Dollhouse is cancelled just after it got really good.
Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip
Um, where's BSG? I vote for none of these.
definitely freaks and geeks
pushing daisies
dawson's creek
moonlight, life on mars, journeyman, kings, eastwick (if they given a chance), Cupid (also if they let it a chance too)
Pushing Daisies was too wonderful for words.
Dollhouse started out great as well...
And I think they should have not canceled Veronica Mars, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip or Roswell as quickly as they did...all three left us with that unsatisfied feeling. At least we got some sort of ending with them....October Road left us dying to find out who was the father!!!!!
My Own Worst Enemy. Period.
