Not to be confused with the Dragon's Graveyard

Or the Elephants Graveyard

What shows were nixed that you miss?

The new series of V was really good, they only made 2 seasons then cancelled it.

I miss Laura Vanderhoot too.

Cancellation response


Following ABC's cancellation of V in May 2011, the fan letter-writing campaign "Project Alice" began writing to Warner Bros. to renew the series on a different network. [42] The campaign initially sought to get the show renewed on TNT, but more recent efforts have also concentrated on the CW Network as well. Both networks are owned by Warner Bros. Television's parent company, Time Warner.


Project Alice has been officially endorsed by executive producers Scott Rosenbaum and Steve Pearlman, writer Gregg Hurwitz; and actors Mark Hildreth, Morena Baccarin, Jane Badler, Laura Vandervoort and Lucas Wolf, each of whom have made videos expressing their support and admiration of their fans' campaign.

Deadwood.  I wish they had the chance to complete it

I think it would be cool to put the cancellation details up too for each show.

Here's Deadwood:

On May 13, 2006, HBO confirmed it had opted not to pick up the options of the actors, which were set to expire on June 11, 2006. This meant that a fourth season with the current cast as it stood was unlikely, though HBO had stressed that the show was not cancelled and talks regarding its future were continuing. The chances of the show returning with its current lineup of cast and crew, however, were limited.


On June 5, 2006, HBO and creator David Milch agreed to make two two-hour television films in place of a fourth season, after Milch declined a short-order of 6 episodes. This was because in the show's original form, each season was only a few weeks in length, with each episode being one day, in the town of Deadwood. The final two-hour format would release these time restraints and allow for a broader narrative to finish off the series.[12]


In an interview on January 13, 2007, David Milch stated that he still intended to finish the two films, if possible.[13] On July 12, 2007, HBO executives admitted that producing the telefilms would be difficult and put the chances of their ever being made at "50–50".[14]


Actor Ian McShane claimed in an interview on October 1, 2007, that the show's sets were due to be dismantled and that the movies would not be made;[15] however he was referring to the show-related set pieces, i.e. front added to the buildings, props, etc., the set as itself, "Melody Ranch", being unchanged at least as of 2010.[16] Actors Jim Beaver and W. Earl Brown commented a day later that they considered the series to be over.[17]


In the March 17, 2009, episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, McShane repeated that 'Deadwood is dead.'[18]


In a January 14, 2011, interview in Esquire, Milch said "I don't know that the last word has been said on the subject ... I still nourish the hope that we're going to get to do a little more work in that area."[19]


In a March 21, 2012, interview, Milch was asked if the movies would ever be produced and replied, "No, I don’t think so. We got really close about a year ago. Never say never, but it doesn’t look that way." [20]

I have to mention the Internet's #1 pick for this question




14 episodes, it died so young.

Too many to name.

But I guess it lived on through the Archie comics. Actually speaking of comics, these too:

I'm not sure Human Target was cancelled before its time, but it was cancelled because the second season was made shit.

The first season was a good light boys only action series which later became more interesting when it delved into the main characters past. Then for season 2 the  producer of Chuck came in and fucked everything up. They wanted to expand the audience to women so introduced two new female cast members, one of which was COMPLETELY POINTLESS, like having a lamp as an actress.

It just became messy and sometimes boring then they cancelled it.

Arrested. Development.

I'm ecstatic that it's coming back.

The last season was crazy (season 3). Fox shrank their episode order in the middle of the season. There was speculation that it was going to be canceled. There was word that both Showtime and ABC were interested in picking up the show. I think the show's creator kind of got sick of the madness and decided to let the show "end."

So to make a long story longer and answer your question: yes. They did give closure but it definitely felt like material that the writer's probably wanted to hold back. I highly recommend the show.

I need Xena to come back

Was it cancelled or did it reach a natural conclusion?

How many seasons did it have?

The character of Xena debuted on March 13, 1995, on the TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Three episodes featuring Xena, collectively called The Xena Trilogy, initially aired as part of the first season of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,^[5] Xena's own series began on September 15, 1995,^[6] the series ran for six seasons and 134 episodes until its final episode aired on May 21, 2001.

They say I'm greedy, but I still want more!
