Mandatory Firefly comment

Travelers TV Show. Doesn't even need the original actors, its perfect scenario for a reboot with different characters.

The Expanse. I mean come on, there still so much book material left... 🙄

And SD Card slots, god damnit. I don't wanna spend +$500 more just for 1tb storage, a 1tb sd card is like $100. Fuck these greedy corporations.

I get so petty about this that I got an A series samsung phone instead of the S series, just for the sd card slot.

So what they actually did was basically flawless from start to finish.

But give me 100 more episodes of the Good Place anyways.

Light pickup trucks.

How about things that never were but have always existed? Been waiting my entire adult life (I’m 42) for GRRM to finish Game of Thrones. My kid was 2 when the last book came out and now he’s driving lol

Inside Job. Canceling a series when there's a cliffhanger should be illegal!

Also, Windows Mixed Reality, my VR headset is going to become a paperweight when I'll be forced to migrate off Windows 10 in a year.

Firefly! We need more seasons of that amazing show!

Better off ted. Fantastic show.

Not "technically" discontinued, but almost

Buying products and owning them.

Buying products and getting full repair manuals and electrical schematics

Cathode ray tubes

Overbuilt refrigerators and washing machines

Clothes that last and are repairable

Houses built with full bricks and iron with actual straight walls and unbroken woodwork

My name is Earl.

Loved this series so much. After finding out how they were going to end it, I would have loved to have watched it play out.

A super niche one: the 2000s show "John Doe"

A guy wakes up with amnesia and doesn't know who he is

But he basically knows everything else.

Weird mystery that ended on a cliffhanger and basically no questions answered (although the show creator later revealed the later plans and plot)

Master and Commander should be several movies and an MMO game.

S tier TV Shows cancelled by streaming studio fucks:

Raised by Wolves (Max), Little Demon (Hulu), Archive81 (Netflix), Scavenger's Reign (Originally Max, then cancelled, bought by Netflix, then fucking cancelled again. Clowns)

Coyote vs Acme

The movie is already completely finished, but some "genius" thinks that they'll make more money by shelving it and claiming it for a tax-writeoff.

Scavengers Reign

GLOW! A travesty it never got a fourth season.

Santa Clarita Diet.

Just needed one more season to wrap things up. Damn you Netflix

Surge soda. They bring it back every once in a while but the demand isn't there.

Punching Nazis

Command & Conquer series as a whole, no releases in 4 years, the last new release was a mobile game in 2018, and the last proper new entry was 2012.

The fan community has (at least) two really high quality mods still undergoing active development, with an actual release in the last two years. Giving this series the Sonic Mania treatment would be incredible, and probably make EA a lot of money, but also is very unlike their usual business practices.

I have a few:

Choco Tacos: some places have been rumored to have brought this back

Mountain Dew Pitch Black. Reintroduced and limited.

Heroes franchise/series. Creator is rumored to be bringing it back.

'I am not okay with this' Netflix series based on a grophic novel.

Wish I had tried Pepsi Blue. Grew up in the 90's but never tried it.

Edit to add: The OG version of GTA San Andreas uncensored. My buddy had a copy we would play but I never got my hands on a copy of my own. If owned this would be a collector'd item.

F-ZERO. Most innovative racing series of all time. F-ZERO 99 is cute and all, but high-speed was never the same after 2003. Aero GPX proves the most promising project since, and it is good.

Altered Carbon.

I know: the book series is very hit-and-miss, and they chose the hits.

I know: they changed the actor; but Joel Kinneman needs more time with Mireilla Enos, so you're gonna have to bring him back.

Megaman Legends 3

Our boy is still stranded on the moon!

Worst thing is that they had a nearly complete demo of it for the 3DS, and released some video of the demo and testing stuff in-engine during development, then like a day before it was supposed to drop they cancelled the whole damn thing because supposedly not enough fans participated in their fan forums/events.

They could have at least released the damn demo! It was already finished! Would have cost them fucking NOTHING.

And then the series creator Inafune fumbled making a spiritual sequel to Megaman when he Kickstarted Mighty No.9, so when he tried to Kickstart Red Ash as one for Legends it failed to meet the goal.

Still frustrates me.

Raised By Wolves. Stargate Universe.

ReBoot and Beast Machines

Firefly.

1899 on Netflix - Season 1 was great and ended on a really intriguing moment. And then they cancelled it. Sigh.

Mind Hunter on Netflix.

Also JC Chasez’s second solo album that got shelved. I’ve been on an *NSYNC kick lately and would have loved more music from him.

Stadia. It was so easy and reliable.

I'd like it if Joss Whedon could finish a series. Firefly? The Nevers? So much potential to just get thrown away after one season.
