I don't know what is more depressing: the fact that it was cancelled just as it was picking up again (season 4 was so bad), or the fact that I am depressed that it was cancelled.
When Buffy ended, I was able to say "well, at least Angel will get more attention from Joss now that both Buffy and Firefly are over, and hey, Spike will be there". Now, what, am I supposed to care about Smallville? That's the only show that is remotely similar, and I'm sorry, but Smallville is like a Disneyland version of Buffy. It doesn't have the humor, it doesn't have the edge, all it has is the superhero-fights-bad-guys angle, and the super-cute-but-unappreciated-non-lead-female angle. Well, and Lex is cool.
Anyway, I am totally with you on good shows being cancelled.
I'm still pissed that they didn't give The Tick a serious chance. Patrick Warburton was born for that role, and while one of the episodes I saw really stank, the others were REALLY funny. The concept of a sitcom based on a group of superheroes' off hours was so novel. Regardless, they moved the show around so much I only got to see about 3 episodes, because I never knew when it was on.
