If there was any TV show that was cancelled or cut short that you could see the planned continuation/ending of, which would you choose?

If you want a trippy show, see if you can find David Lynch's "On The Air".
Apparently following the OG Twin Peaks cancellation, there was still a contractual obligation to fill and Lynch pulled together some of the same cast for a wacky 1950s era show about television production.
There are bootlegs floating around from a Japanese laserdisc, but as far as I'm aware, that's the only home release that was ever made.
7 episodes were produced, only 3 made it to air in the US.

Watching that on shrooms is life changing

For me it would have to be The Owl House
Stargate universe.

Mythbusters, junkyard wars.
Junkyard Wars! I would watch 100 seasons of that show!

For me it would have to be The Owl House
Heroes, without the writer's strike.

For me it would have to be The Owl House
In recent memory:
- Swamp Thing (cancelled after one season on a cliffhanger iirc)
- Y: The Last Man (cancelled after one season but at least all of the season 1 sub plots ended nicely)
- Stargirl (like The Owl House, which I agree with, had a good and pretty satisfying ending but still ended prematurely)
- Sandman & Dead Boy Detectives (not going to watch Sandman season 2, Dead Boy Detectives ended on a pretty major cliffhanger and I was enjoying it)

Pirates of Dark Water.
Yes, I'm old.
Mini rant: I went to an anime convention (ConnectiCon) and was wicked excited to see that Pirates of Dark Water had a time slot. I'd finally get to see the full run!
Then someone had the bright idea to play it in a different time slot to cover something that fell through and so it wasn't played in the schedule time slot (due to rights issues or something?). I'm still annoyed.
I should probably just find an alternate way to watch it, it's been over a decade since that convention.

For me it would have to be The Owl House
Red Dwarf, but with both Naylor and Grant continuing on from before the split. It felt to me that the quality dropped once they fell out and Grant left.
GoT, shame it got cancelled after GRR ran out of material, what would a sixth and seventh series looked like? Not some badly written, overly nasty, fan fiction, but actual quality as we had in the earlier seasons and books?
True Detective season one, by that I mean actually carrying on that plot line with the abuse cult rather than the "reboots" with new casts and settings in the future seasons. Those are great, I still want those, but I also want more of what we had in season one.
Hannibal, its time to revisit this overly stylized wardrobe of a cooking show

Last man on earth
I loved this show so much. I just started rewatching it last night. I'm a big fan of Will Forte and as happy as I am we at least got 4 seasons, I was always a little surprised at it's popularity. It always felt very niche, but still aired on a rather popular network.

Heroes, without the writer's strike.
They tried.
It was bad

:::I haven't rewatched firefly in over a decade I think. What has aged so terribly? Also why is the anti hero thing so bad? Played out now?

A series that basically nobody knows: John Doe
A guy wakes up in the middle of nowhere, not knowing who he is. But knows literally everything else. Basically walking Wikipedia
First season ended on massive cliffhanger and was cancelled

:::Those are all good points though I disagree a bit with the brown coats/confederates but I get what you mean.
I think I'll let that show sit in my memory as it is. Without rewatching any of it I can definitely see the issues. Especially Jayne thinking more on it

Freaks and Geeks
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Definitely my pick as well. Really good show. "There is a party. And even the geeks are invited!"

They did the same with Star Trek: Enterprise. It finally picked up momentum in the fourth season when Manny Coto took over as show runner, then they killed it.
Its been along road...
