Cancelled TV Shows

There have been a lot of people emailing us about this season's cancelled and ending television shows (see full list here).

Many people feel shows like Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone did not get a fair break since they had shortened seasons last year due to the Writers' strike and were not given enough time to grow and audience this season. Other people are angry that their favorites like Prison Break and Battlestar Galactica are coming to an end. It seems almost every show that will not be coming back next year had a fan.

The most surprising thing is that The Shield ended with a group of happy fans. They seem to have felt that the show had run its course and were glad to have it come to a close. Their emails and comments have been all positive about the ending of this series. It was a nice change to have people happy about a show ending!
