    Forgot about Dresden Files, I was so hoping that they'd pick that up for a second series.

    The *******s! Such a great TV show.

    I loved this, I fancied the pants off the lead actress.

    Also a +1 for every mention of Defying Gravity, which was always intended to have a couple more series for the rest of the thingies, which would I assume then 'do something' wrapping it up.

    Terminator: SCC was brilliant, 2nd series had Shirley Manson from Garbage in it (one of my fave bands).

    Yes I do. Was an awesome show.

    Edit: [While getting nostalgic...] Spin City wasn't the same after Michael J Fox was replaced by Charlie Sheen.

    Did anyone watch American Gothic? I thought that was so cool when I was 15, though I didn't really get all of it.

    I say they're having a tough time replacing Mark Lamarr. Amstell was fine for a short while but there's only so many times you can bully one member of the panel each week before it gets really old imo.

    Space: Above and Beyond is the only TV series I wanted more of when it was cancelled except maybe Cardiac Arrest.

    Defying gravity was pretty slow burn and I can understand why it lost some viewers mid season and then ended up getting canned. It did have a really good cast imho ,including the great Ron Livingston, who also happens to be in one of my fav films as well - Office Space The last episode was really good, tension filled stuff. And the story plans for future seasons of the show were potentially fantastic . Ahh well.

    A little off topic, but anyone else think they should have continued sin episodes?

    Defying Gravity was just too ponderous and slow. I mean, it took how many episodes just to get to Venus? The Grand Tour would have lasted over a decade. Did the producers really expect that the audience would follow six seasons of 13 episodes each, of eight people stuck in a tin can mostly doing nothing as they plod another two years to the next planet?

    Of course not, so they introduce Weird Alien Sh*t, and thereby turn off two audiences: those that would have been interested in a genuine, realistic portrayal of what a grand tour space mission might have looked like, and those Sci-fi buffs who like their weirdness thick and fast.
