Hmm. I'm trying to think of a show that I watched that I was devastated when it was cancelled, but the only one I can think of that I was actually watching when it was cancelled was Veronica Mars, and its third season was kind of...weak.
So, I'm changing today up. Instead of a show that should never have been cancelled, I'm going with a show that should have been taken out behind the barn and shot at least 4 seasons before the end of its run.
Day 001: A Show That Should Have Been Taken Out Behind The Barn And Shot At Least 4 Seasons Before The End of Its Run
There are so, so many of these, but of them all, I'm going with...
ER!
Don't get me wrong. I loved ER to pieces, but they should really have ended sometime around Season 9. Because Season 10? Was ridiculous.
Look, I'm very glad Carter wanted to go to the Congo. That's very noble. How much did we really have to devote to Thandie Newton? I mean, beautiful woman, great actress, but *not* the reason I'm watching ER.
Squishing Romano with the helicopter. Go on, ER, you can make it all the way over the shark. Just a liiiiitttle higher.
Killing off Sandy. Oh, for fuck's sake. She made Kerry happy. They had a son together. You and me, ER? We're not on speaking terms anymore.
All the new nurses/doctorlings. I Just. Didn't. Care. Except for Neela. She was awesome.
ER always put the drama in drama. No one was ever allowed to be happy, and if I really wanted that kind of crap, I'd have watched Grey's Anatomy. Which I did, for a few episodes. I'm still easing out pieces of tension headache.
So, in conclusion, I loved ER, but I would gladly have ended it after 9 seasons.
