it was called "life" and it aired on the fx channel over here i think, it was so good.
it was a show about a policeman who was framed for a crime he didn't commit, spent 12 years basically being tortured in prison, then was found to be not guilty and was released with a massive amount of compensation. he then went back to the police force and tried to work out who framed him etc... it was soooo good!
but the most annoying part was that while it did have episodic storys each week, it did also have a bigger story arc over the two series, and the reason that got bad is because it was cancelled after just two series, so not only did we never find out the answers to many things, but the second series also ended on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved!
i really hated the fact it ended as i thought it was fantastic, and i would have recommended it to anyone except not anymore as i don't want them to have the thing of getting really into it, and then the massive let down after series 2

have a look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_(NBC_TV_series) if you're ok knowing it stops suddenly after two series then i would recommend seeing it as it was really good, but just so frustrating!

Angel
Family Guy (although it was revived).
Think they should have ended scrubs at season 8, and heroes had to go, it was bad in season 2 and 3 parts 1 and 2 got progressively worse, there was the potential to improve, but it had its chance! As for dollhouse, don't think it should have been, but it was much less compelling than the first two I listed.

c'mon, as good as his other stuff or not, dollhouse had eliza dushku regularly in skimpy outfits, that's all that program needed for me to watch!
scrubs was one of those programs i never watched each week, i'd just watch the odd episode so it being canceled didn't massively bother me.
i used to love familly guy, but i've actually started to get less bothered about it, i still watch it, but i think i prefer american dad even though they are kind of the same characters
