You're right. I'm sorry for that. 
But for me today's television sucks. At least, there aren't that good tv-shows or series on. In Holland it's nothing but soaps, dumb reality tv or sports. It's not what its used to be, for me anyway.

Unfortunately, same in the US, or at least mostly. There are a few good shows on (imo), but the channels are full of really bad shows, day/night soaps, reality crap, or sports.
My list of shows that were cancelled too soon:
Homefront
Early Edition
Quantum Leap
more to come as my brain wakes up. I had tons of shows that I loved (with good neilsens too) but the network heads didn't. |

For me it was this Flemisch Tv-show "the mole".
It was the most succesfull show in ten years and still after two years they cancelled it because it was to intensive for the makers. Then 3 years later they did another season and it hit the magical 2 million viewers line (in belgium, eh). It even won a big European Tv prize.
But still they cancelled it again.   |

Cheesy British sci-fi programmes - always cancelled: Star Cops, Space 1999, Blake 7 - guess they were just too bad. But you know what some programmes are like, so bad they're good! |
