/dev/null Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 10 minutes ago, Alaska Darin said: Rome. HBO killed it early because it was so expensive to make. Rome was great and definitely canceled way too soon. But on the bright side HBO learned a lot from their experience with Rome which has led to the continued success of Game of Thrones, another epic series that costs a fortune to produce.

SinceThe70s Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 58 minutes ago, Taro T said: Well it did have Robert Guillaume (Benson) in it, though he was only in a supporting role. But, yeah it was a pretty unknown cast. Personally, I typically prefer shows that do that - spend their money on the writing and get talented unknowns for the cast. (Kind of like the way Cheers did.) 54 minutes ago, Alaska Darin said: Sure, but in reality he hadn't been relevant in television for like 15 years. His role as Isaac was very small but he was clearly still a powerful presence on the screen. Cheers was so well written that they could say goodbye to just about anyone but Sam and Norm and still be terrific. ..and here's where I got confused. You guys are talking about Robert Guillaume in Sports Night, no? Never saw it, had to google. I thought it was still a Soap reference, which he was in. When I saw Isaac I was thinking Love Boat...which he also appeared in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, knew the first, not the second. I see Isaac and I'm thinking Ted Lange on Love Boat first and probably Isaac Hayes second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac on Sports Night was a very solid character. It was a very good show & probably had scripts twice as long as the typical ones filling 30 minute time slots. Darn shame it was canned so quickly.

plenzmd1 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) 8 hours ago, Alaska Darin said: "The Bridge" - another FX show that ended too soon. Detectives from Mexico and the U.S. have to navigate political and cultural issues to find a serial killer Darin, have you watched the original Bridge? (well not quite the original..original was some Danish show called the Bridge). Then there was the Brit/French collaboration called The Tunnel (based on the original) that also aired on PBS..just fantastic! If you liked The Bridge on FX, you will LOVE The Tunnel. Think you can stream from the PBS app. Edited February 28, 2018 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Revolution, mainly because they ended on a cliffhanger. At least let them come back for 6-10 episodes to wrap it up like they did Jericho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Lie To Me They kept House around (I am/was a House fan) but it had run its course and Lie to Me was interesting to me and had only run 3 seasons. Fox cancelled it though to keep House going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I do like Lie To Me. It's one of the only shows where Tim Roth (the main character) isn't a dickwad and having Kelli Williams as the co-star ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on NBC for like 6 episodes before NBC pulled it b/c Dana was too "out there" with his sense of humor. I loved that stuff. This was from that show: Edited March 2, 2018 by Fadingpain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo86 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Totally agree with those who said Freaks & Geeks. Undeclared isn't quite on that level, but it also deserved more time. The same goes for Get a Life, which was hilarious in an awkwardly painful way. Edited March 2, 2018 by Buffalo86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
