It's funny how many of us have named the same shows. They MUST have been popular, what the hell was the problem? Which leads me to my next question.... how exactly are ratings determined? Someone has to know!

geek popular =/= real world popular


Not to mention a forum populated with 90% men based solely in the US makes a poor sample.
 
I was upset when they cancelled Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Unit, and My Name is Earl all in the same season.
 
without much thought I'd have a dozen or so titles, luckily they've all pretty much been posted here without going through previous decades 🙂
 
Farscape - they pulled the plug at the end of the season and left it without any ending. The only reason it eventually had an end was due to the fan base "demanding" they finish it.

I just couldn't understand how they could cancel such a popular show while allowing StarGate to continue [I personally didn't like Stargate nor any of it's spin-offs].
 
The Critic
Nowhere Man - I hated the X-files, but I loved this show; interesting premise in the midst of the 90's glut of X-files style "conspiracy" shows.
Transformers - they bring back Optimus Prime from the dead just in time to cancel the series
Robotech - well, I loved the first season Macross stuff, couldn't get enough

Damn, I totally forgot about Earth 2. That was a great show. Though, I was only 14.. lol.

Whoa.

The actress that played "True Danziger" in that series died in 2006.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Madison_Wright

By 1999, Madison left her acting career and her family moved back to their home town in Kentucky. After repeated bouts of pneumonia and general ill-health, a chest X-ray revealed that she was suffering from restrictive cardiomyopathy, a condition that required her to receive a heart transplant. The then fifteen-year-old was on the donor waiting list for a short term before she was admitted to the Cleveland Clinic in March 2000, where she received the transplant.
...
Madison quickly recovered back to good health and, between concentrating on her school work and enjoying cheerleading in her extracurricular time, she began giving talks to various groups highlighting the importance of organ donation. After finishing at South Laurel High School, she then went to attend the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg to study English before studying for her teaching credentials. Once graduating from university in summer 2006, Madison planned to begin a job teaching English to tenth grade children at George Rogers Clark High School, located in Winchester, Kentucky.

Just as her academic life flourished, her social life did as well. On July 8th, 2006, Madison married Brent Joseph Morris, a University of Kentucky medical student. The couple honeymooned in Hawaii for two weeks. A day after she returned, Madison fell ill and was admitted to the University of Kentucky Medical Center. On July 21, 2006, she died of a heart attack, only eight days shy of her twenty-second birthday.

😱

That's really sad.
