Firefly
This was the very first thing that ran through my mind. It was so good, I wish I could watch it for the first time again.
reply
This was the answer I came to give. The movie Serenity was good, but oh what could have been with the series if it got more than it's 13 (I think) episodes.
reply
I remember seeing some episodes of that series in the past, it didn't last long, right?
reply
Less than one full season, but they did also make a movie several years later.
I'd love for it to be an animated series, so that the original cast could come back and play their characters again.
reply
I had no idea about the film, maybe they ran out of budget, it's a shame to see how so many good shows vanish from one day to the next.
reply
The film ‘Serenity’ kinda tied things up and they have done a graphic novel series since.
reply
The graphic novels took place between the end of the show and the movie, unless they did more that I forgot about.
reply
They are still running (I’m really not familiar with them though)
reply
I didn't know that. I'll have to look into it.
Thanks

It definitely got cancelled. Fox promoted the show very poorly. I didn't even know it existed until a few years after it was off the air, despite having been a pretty regular Fox viewer.
There's a huge fanbase now, which is what allowed the movie to be made.
reply
Sometimes great works are appreciated over time, maybe if the fan base continues to grow, you can see the show go back on air because money is king...
reply
They also aired episodes out of order.
