I've been missing Heroes for a long time, whatever happened to that show, I heard they were bringing it back, but I feel like it should have started by now...
Oh and the Black Donnely's, it was violent but I loved that show!!!

What shows dissapeared on everyone else?

I hate when they do that! I think Heroes will come back but the strike threw the whole TV industry off, so it feels like I missed all my favorite shows last season, too.

I have to say the show that I still haven't gotten over that disappeared was My So Called Life. I still watch the reruns with a lot of love and nostalgia. And Freaks and Geeks was pretty cool, too, but not the same as MSCL for me.

I absolutely loved MSCL! It died the death way too early. :mad:

TryToKeepUp, I read that Heroes is coming back, but it's mid-summer now, and about all that's new right now is game shows and reality shows. The dramas will be back in the fall or winter. Patience, my dear! :D

My So Called Life was fabulous. I too was horrified when it disappeared.
At least Northern Exposure was allowed to gracefully fade out.

But I have not watched tv (at all) in ten years now.

24 will be back w/Jon Voight no less.

Wonderfalls is a great loss...to see the full season you must rent/buy DVD. "Go on, have a pancake" (spoken by the wise cow syrup/creamer). Words to live by.

Arrested Development- went out on high note. I wished more people watched...but it may be a movie soon!

Ah, yes, American Gothic was fabulous. Wonderfalls was wonderfully twisted...Pushing Daisies looks like it is done by the same producer. Jon Voigt? An Arrested Development movie? Too cool!

I'm still waiting for WKRP In Cincinatti to come back. :p That was about the last year I watched much TV.

The show with Richard Dreyfus as a college professor in a town thinly veiled as Northampton. It was on for a year about 6-7 years ago. So realistic and good acting. It was supposed to come back on, but it never did.
I miss American Dreams, too.
I have never seen a reality show.

DH used to watch Carnival on HBO....he misses that one. And Dexter. Probably Heroes, too. Gads...that was one show that made me walk out of the room.
I never became so attached to a show, that I would miss it terribly if it went away.

My husband and I were partial to Men In Trees but ABC axed it. Cute show, plenty of fluff. I don't watch stuff that makes me think too hard other than House. Mostly we watch Travel Channel, National Geographic, Discovery HD (so few commercials), I love History Channel.

"Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog" on the internet. I couldn't manage to get it off hulu, but saw a poor quality copy of the first episode on YouTube. It's supposed to be available for purchase from iTunes as of this week. Matthew Fillion is in it, odd to see him NOT playing Mal.

Joss Whedon is one talented dude.

You know what show I really miss, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy... Show was sooo hilarious. Does anyone know what any of the guys from the show are doing now?

There must be a lot more geeks here then I thought! I loved Firefly too. Northern Exposure was and still is one of my favorite series. I have them all on DVD. Except they had to change the music on them for copy right reasons which did change the flavor some. Bummer!

Wonderfalls.


Oh my gosh, I loved Wonderfalls. It was so quirky. When I went to Niagara Falls on business a few years ago I was looking for a gift shop that may have inspired the show, but couldn't find anything close.

:p Hudson loves to get into garbage and eat the smelliest, slimiest thing he can find. Present him with a fresh veggie, and he acts like you are trying to poison him. He makes me laugh every day. :D

Queer Eye for the Straight guy abandoned me! I wasn't done with it yet! I do know that one of the hosts for that show has his own show on Lifetime called How To Look Good Naked. The second season premiere is tonight at 10. You can get all the info here:

I saw a listing for "How To Look Good Naked" but then I saw that it was on Lifetime and promptly dismissed it :D

He was a major villain in the last season of Buffy, too. That was weird for me, since I'd seen Firefly first and then watched all 7 seasons of Buffy.

One of them was a judge on last seaon's America Top Chef.

I too miss Firefly and Northern Exposure. I was bummed when Arrested Development ended too.

Quantum Leap. Yeah, it was played out by the time it left, but still. I caught an early episode last week, the one where Sam is in drag for most of it, playing a Southern beauty pageant contestant. That episode held up very well.
