    I liked numbers 1 and 4 above.
    I'd add "Police Squad," the short lived TV series from which "The Naked Gun" movies were later derived.
    Actually there are quite a few TV series that I hated to see get cancelled that not that many people cared for. I remember "Rosetti & Ryan," a lawyer series that was cancelled after only a few episodes in the late 1970s-it starred Eric Roberts and Squire Ferdale (or something like that).
    There have also been shows that lasted a full season or even 2 or 3 seasons that I still thought ended too soon. As a kid I loved "Laredo" in the mid 1960s. In the late 1970s I liked "The Persuaders" starring Roger Moore and Tony Curtis and"How The West Was Won" starring James Arness and Bruce Boxleitner. In the 1980s I liked "Spenser" with Robert Ulrich and Avery Brooks.

    The original Star Trek series was cancelled after only three seasons. Hard to believe today.

    Yeah, I thought of posting it as a series that ended too soon, but perhaps its premature cancellation actually helped keep it alive in the hearts of its fans. For a TV show that was never a big hit in its orginal run, it is amazing that it produced four spin off TV series (thus far) and ten feature films.

    I haven't watched Enterprise much since the first season. It airs its final first run episode tonight (at least in my area).
