Dead like me, that was funny,
carnivale, really interesting program shit ending because they had no warning of cancellation,
Heroes, even if the last series wasn't the best, could've fixed the problems with it easily.

yeah heroes is a strange one, i loved the series when it showed them in the future and the guy who could absorb powers had pretty much all of them, etc... but the last season did get pretty bad and pretty much pissed over all the story etc... that had been set up in previous series, so tbh i didn't really care all that much when it got cancelled
not strictly cancelled as i've heard there's to be a new series next year ( a proper series, not a stupid three parter) but Red Dwarf, i was and even after the horrible 3 part thing on dave, still am a massive red dwarf fan
the problem i'm having with this thread is i know there's loads of great shows i loved that got cancelled but once they've been cancelled and not on for a while i tend to forget about them all together, so that the pain is not too great lol

i'm a big red dwarf fan myself, even liked the last 3 part series, can't wait for the new series,
i've actually got a mr flibble puppet which is something only red dwarf fans have a clue what it is and appreciate lol.
Having the same problem there are loads of programs i like that got cancelled but can't remember them all.

yeah, peter kicked arse when he had all the powers and he was seriously pointless when he lost them all.
you should be careful mr flibble doesn't attack you with his hex vision
i really disliked the 3 part thing, it was too heavy on cgi and not models etc.. like red dwarf should be, also a lot of the jokes just didn't work and the fact it had no laughter track, i don't normally care about things like a laughter track but i really missed it in the 3 part series. the other thing that bugged me was that it was basically a far worse re-make of the episode back to reality, that episode was almost the same basic story and they did it far better in 30 mins.
also a password i used to use was a very obscure red dwarf refrence lol, you should check this out https://www.toplessrobot.com/search.php?...log_id=132 it's a good article, also the vids about the us version of red dwarf are great

Yeah the way they changed his power was weak, his power had some great story potential if written right, but they got lazy and changed it,
ruining one of the most interesting characters,
it didn`t even make sense, how they took peters power away was the same way they took hiro`s power, yet hiro`s power returned exactly how it was,
and if you notice after that they had to keep sylar away from any of the main characters because none of them could fight him and they didn`t want to kill everyone off lol.
I`m always careful with flibble lol,
put it this way though, the mini series showed that red dwarf was still popular and got it another series, and they`ll probably rebuild some of the sets for that,
and partly for the mini series there were time and budget restraints.

true, but the first few series didn't have big budgets and they where good
