We all have TV shows that we love and miss dearly - shows that were too good to last or were canceled before they had the chance to flourish. We all know about Firefly and it's fate in the scrap heap, its resurrection on the big screen and its continually devoted fandom. I really miss The American Embassy, a 2002 FOX show (aired as a hiatus filler in Boston Public's timeslot) about (surprise) the American Embassy in London - it was smart, thoughtful, funny television that got canned after three episodes. (Six were filmed, four aired in the US and all aired in Australia). I also miss The Days, because it was a melodramatic trainwreck (so much so that I was embarrassed about watching it back in '04). Anyone else have any might've-beens?

Veronica Mars, RIP Though I thought the second season was ordinary, and the third season a trainwreck so...

Green Wing was a hospital comedy that I just adored. The writers decided that it was best to leave it at two series, and it was such an off-beat wacky show that they're probably right, but I completely loved every second of it. Enough to, er, persuade some of my overseas friends to watch it

I'm still bitter about Deadwood and Rome. They were two of my favorite series on HBO, and I wish they'd each had another season or two to wrap everything up. Oh, and Drive. Yes, that silly show with Nathan Fillion. It was awful and I loved every second of it!

I'm with Rosie on Green Wing. It was one of the most delightfully clever shows I've ever seen. I also lament Wonderfalls. It was cancelled after four episodes, but the DVD release showed the full season and it's incredibly sad that the network didn't give the quirky show a chance.

Will I get rocks thrown at me if I mention Dirty Sexy Money? It was delightfully bad......
