Ok, what were your favorate comedy shows that ended or canceled way too early....they can include shows that became popular or cult classics on rentals.
I'll start.........
Arrested developement 3 seasons - hear they are making a movie
Party Down 2 seasons - very funny writing on this Starz comedy
Friends - 10 years - just kidding....
News Radio 5 seasons - although on air for 5 years, the show could have gone another 5. Maybe a big reason show ended, was after the tragic death of Phil Hartman, it was never the same.
I'm going to add a non-comedy....
Rome - 2 seasons on showtime.

Coupling (bbc). It was like a British version of Friends...only FUNNY!! A couple of the actors have popped up here in movies and TV. One of them is on the Leverage (the Brunette chick).

Arrested Development is top of my list. Stella is up there as well.
Two that I am not sure if they are coming back or not are Sarah Silverman Show and Micheal and Micheal Have Issues.My real forum Join date is July 2007. Maybe one day someone will develop the awsome technology to fix this currently unfixable bug.

Hey, any show that lasts shorter than my lifetime is too short for me.
In case you didn't already notice, my posts that end with must NEVER EVER, under any circumstances, be taken seriously.

Definitive answer?

I can only tolerate the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker constant sight gags style of humor about once a week or so (kinda like eating at Ponderosa...wouldn't want to do it everyday), but Police Squad only lasted 6 episodes and was one of the darn funniest things I've seen.

We have no good comedy shows anymore. Just fake shows that try to make you imagine they are real, so what better way to convince the flock of stupids than to call them "reality shows."Last edited by LeslieWest_GuitarGod; 09-27-2010 at 09:41 PM.

The Ben Stiller Show. Their Nirvana inspired version of “the Monkees” was classic!
Things worthy of Standing Stone going EXTREME PREJUDICE™ on.:
- Epic and Legendary Mysterious ring upgrades, please.
- Change the stack size of filigree in the shared bank to 50. The 5 stack makes the shared bank worthless for storing filigree in a human usable manner.
- Fixing why I don't connect to the chat server for 5 minutes when I log into a game world.
- Fixing the wonky Lightning Sphere and Tactical Det firing by converting them to use alchemist spell arcing.
- Redoing the drop rates of tomes in generic and raid loot tables.

O.K. so what if I like goofy sci-fi comedy. Add Red Dwarf in there too.“It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
