Epic fail! Telling a story does NOT = dragging on.

Carnivale on HBO was a great show that only ran 2 seasons. Loved it!

I have to disagree about Lost.

Dead Like Me was also an interesting and different script. I like the oddball ones with a different twist. So many of the crime shows and sitcoms are interchangeable. Yawn.

I loved Men in Trees, for the very reasons you stated. It was fresh and the characters were interesting. It was DIFFERENT from all the other shows on TV. How many CSI's do we need?

Another show I'm going to miss is Eastwick.

Good to hear!

Since folks mention being different, I'll add Babylon 5 and Farscape to the list.

Reba. King of the Hill.

I was just so invested in the characters...and now never to see 'em again.

My only shows are ones that have gone to DVD that I can rent from Netfllix so it's only been the last couple of years that I've gotten a chance to see many shows from the past, such as The Wire, Sports Night, Studio 60, NYPD Blue etc.

A number of British shows end quite abruptly and without resolution. McCallum and New Street Law, both with John Hannah, left me annoyed and disappointed.

Prison Break. I could go on watching Wentworth Miller (Michael) forever and ever.

Port Charles.

Jericho! And to the network that dropped it: MORE NUTS!!!!
