![]() | Grosse Pointe - The Complete Series
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $4.20 A delightfully oddball series that had a great cast and never failed to make me laugh. One of a series of show The WB canned.
|
![]() | Tru Calling: The Complete Series
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $23.44 For one glorious season, and half of a second season, Eliza Dushku raced around the city trying to save people who had met their untimely demise. The show stayed good, even after they jettisoned most of the supporting cast in season 2, but it ultimately disappeared from the screen.
|
![]() | Point Pleasant - The Complete Series
Buy new: $20.49 / Used from: $14.49 Not the best show in the world, but definitely intriguing. It took this one a little while to pull me in, but once it did, it was immediately cancelled. Stupid FOX.
|
![]() | Joan of Arcadia - The First Season
Buy new: $27.99 / Used from: $24.07 Amber Tamblyn was great in this show. So great in fact that I didn't even mind the fact that Joe Mantegna was in it.
|
![]() | Joan of Arcadia - The Second Season
Buy new: $27.99 / Used from: $24.99 Just as the show was opening a fresh new creative chapter, CBS canned it for the craptastic Ghost Whisperer. Now I'll never know how Joan and her friends fared in their conflict with the devil...
|
![]() | Wonderfalls - The Complete Series
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $14.94 Bryan Fuller's wonderfully offbeat comedy about a girl who hear voices coming from all sorts of everyday things...voices that compell her to interact with people and improve their lives, all the while forcing her to become a more well-rounded person. Didn't even last half of a season before FOX canned it.
|
![]() | Dead Like Me: The Complete Collection
Buy new: $46.99 / Used from: $26.39 Another odd show from the mind of Bryan Fuller. Just as the show was delving into interesting territory, it was gone. Luckily there's a movie coming.
|
![]() | Birds of Prey: The Complete Series
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $19.00 Shakespearean? No. High art? No. But it never aspired to be. All it was was a great show with three female leads, somewhat sub-par special effects, decent-acting, and an interesting world. Overall, it was just a fun show to watch, and the characters actually grew and evolved...so the WB had to destroy it.
|
![]() | Kitchen Confidential - The Complete Series
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $8.00 This one was a hard sell for me: a show about chefs in a 5 star restaurant. How could that be funny? Well, it is. If you've only seen the few episodes that aired on FOX, then you need to pick this set up and check out what you missed.
|
![]() | The Dresden Files - The Complete First Season
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $8.00 Sure it doesn't follow the books to the T, but it was still an original show with a great lead, and was populated with interesting characters. I was truly surprised when Sci-Fi cancelled this one.
|
![]() | Earth 2 - The Complete Series
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $13.08 Most sci-fi shows don't get much rope to play with, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that this one got the ax so soon.
|
![]() | American Gothic - Complete Series
Buy new: $35.49 / Used from: $20.00 Wonderfully creepy little show that showcased the awesomeness that is Gary Cole. His character oozed with darkness and evil, but never ventured over into being a caricature.
|
![]() | Firefly - The Complete Series
Buy new: $38.49 / Used from: $19.99 FOX never gave this one a chance. Changing the airdates multiple times and airing episodes out of order pretty much guaranteed a short run. It's too bad too because this was one of the most original shows around.
|
![]() | Threshold - The Complete Series
Buy new: $37.99 / Used from: $28.48 I guess this one suffered from 'alien overload' since it entered the fray against Invasion and Surface. For my money, this show was far superior to the others. The entire premise of the show, aliens sending a signal that causes people to go crazy and then begin changing into an alien, was much creepier and disturbing than most things on television, plus it had the stunning Carla Gugino.
|
![]() | Freaks and Geeks - The Complete Series
Buy new: $35.49 / Used from: $30.97 I still get mad when I watch this show. NBC has to be kicking itself when it sees how much talent it had gathered, but ultimately wasted. Luckily Seth Rogen, Jason Segal, James Franco, Linda Cardellini, and Co. moved on to great careers, but I'll always wonder what great television could have been if this show hadn't been cancelled.
|
![]() | Dark Angel - The Complete Series
Buy new: $71.99 / Used from: $39.75 Occasionally overacted and filled with cardboard secondary characters, this show was still better than most stuff on the air today, plus it had Jensen Ackles, which is enough to recommend it.
