I would bring back The old Transformers cartoon, Prior to the movie. Maybe a few more seasons of that. Let the writers really get going..

Also, even better. I would bring back Gargoyles.

I used to care that shows get cancelled, but there will always be new shows.

But I wish they'd have taken Firefly a bit further. Roswell was pretty good too, in season 1, but by season 3, I could see why it would be cancelled.

First and foremost, I wish Phil Hartman had lived and more seasons of NewsRadio were made.

Sticking to canceled-too-soon shows:

Jake 2.0
The Mole
Push, Nevada (I don't wish it were still on, but I wish all the episodes had been shown)
Visionaries (the most underrated cartoon ever)
X-Men Evolution

American Dreams was a very good show.

I really enjoyed Freaks and Geeks also.

I cant believe only one of you has said Seinfeld. That is top of my list. Though it was good that it went out on top rather than gone to seed like so many other shows in the past. This is something that Fox should mention to the Simpsons folks IMHO .

Futurama
Carnivale -- ended with a cliffhanger too!

I'm hoping for straight-to-dvd movies of both of these, Futurama is supposedly in the works and I can only hope that they'll do something with Carnivale.

honorable mention: Star Trek Enterprise. Although it's not one of my favorites, I wish they had given it a chance to do the traditional 7 season run. Voyager was just getting interesting with season 4.

To those that said Babylon 5: I'm currently working my way through the DVDs (last disk of season 1 is sitting in front of me on its little netflix envelope), they're all new to me and I've got several more seasons to go! so nanny-nanny boo-boo.

Babylon 5: Crusade.

That series had a great premise, but like Firefly, it was killed at 13 episodes (or what it 12?).

Season 1 is weak, but essential. Things pick up in Season 2, and all hell breaks loose in Season 3.
