For one reason or another great shows have bit the dust way before their time so I've compiled a list of cancelled Television shows that are available on Netflix. Here is your second chance, WATCH THEM!
Top 10:
1. Samantha Who? - One the best female casts I've ever watched in a comedy series!! Have you seen Bridesmaids? Of course you have, well Melissa McCarthy has been around for quite awhile now and her comedic skills shine in Samantha Who?. Jean Smart won an Emmy for her role as Regina Newly. Christina Applegate and Jennifer Esposito are at the top of their game in this series.
2. Legend of the Seeker- Action & Romance at it's best while these character take you on amazing journeys as they try to save the world..It was filmed in New Zealand so the scenery is just amazing. Craig Horner and Bridget Regan have great chemistry. Sam Raimi (Director of Spiderman) is a producer and most of the crew worked on The Lord Of The Rings films.
3. Arrested Development- The craziest family you will ever witness on television, they bring dysfunction to a whole new level. Lucille Bluth is the mother you wish you never had but can't help but love at the same time. For all you Michael Cera fans (Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Superbad) this is one of his first big breaks into Hollywood.
4.. Tru Calling- Such epic potential...to save a lives and possibly shatter the balance of the universe or ignore your calling and let fate take it course..That's a tough one. I would have liked to see Eliza Dushku and Jason Priestley's character's final battle but it doesn't get that far. However I still recommend watching this show. Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) is also a regular on this show.
5. Dead Like Me- Great show to watch but avoid the movie..this series was given the chance that many cancelled shows never get and they blew it.
6. Veronica Mars- I was a VM hater, I admit it. The CW was torn between cancelling One Tree Hill and Veronica Mars and I was all for it's crushing. Having never given it a chance while it aired I decided to try watching it on Netflix..I got hooked, and although it is a bit rocky once Veronica hits college, I wanted more episodes!! This was the beginning of a nice career for Kristen Bell (Heroes, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Amanda Seyfried (Dear John, Letters to Juliet).
7. Flash Forward - It was supposed to be the replacement for LOST fans but after 6 years of waiting for answers and fans not really getting them, I don't think anyone was ready to wait acouple more years for a new mystery to be uncovered. Flash Forward is worth watching and thankfully the writers closed up most of the storylines in the final episode.
8. Dirty Sexy Money - You have a dysfunctional family with millions of dollars, you do the math.
9. Eli Stone- The first time I've ever really seen Johnny Lee Miller's work is as the villian in Dexter even though I know he is known for many other roles like Dade Murphey (Hackers) opposite my nemesis Angelina Jolie. So I was surprised to see him in this role as a lawyer who has visions sent by (God?) to help him win cases. Sounds like a overly religious show but surprisingly the topic of religion is barely discussed.
Eli Stone is the male version of Ally McBeal.
10. Pushing Daisies- Unlike many people I know, I was actually content with the ending of this show, I didn't really see much longevity in the plot (no pun intended). That being said it was a really cute and unique show, created by Bryan Fuller who also created Dead Like Me, number five on this list.
If you decide to give any of these shows a try, let me know. :)
