The one true answer.
Yeah, this. It was such an interesting premise, an engaging cast, and really seemed to be going someplace interesting. Would've loved to see it get enough time to find its voice. Even their bottle episode was great fun.

Firefly!!!! FFS this should always be the #1 answer
The question really needs to include "other than Firefly" to get other answers. Although, it's much less common than it used to be... I'm getting old.
Agreed. This is always my immediate response.
Firefly. Agreed

Firefly. There is no other answer for me.
Came here to say this. The movie helped but not as much as another season.

Shiny!
I wish the answer here was "Westworld".
That first season was perfect television. And that season finale? My god. I was so excited to watch season 2 and it... just fell short on all fronts. It has its moments, but ultimately failed to measure up to that first season.
Which would have been okay, but then season 3 and 4 happened, and diluted the overall quality of the show to a point where I stopped recommending the show to anyone and just tell them to stick to S1.
I want to live in a timeline where we left off on that S1 ending wondering what could have been.

Pushing Daisies
Itβs been 5,124 days 16 hours, 22 minutes and 54 seconds since viewers were last delighted by the whimsy and brilliance that was embodied by this one little show.
The Expanse
Expanse ended on a good point. We would probably need at least 2 seasons to finish up the final trilogy. If one extra season would be all we got, I'd not want it tbh.

Chuck because I want to see that happy ending and Eureka because I miss the weird combo of sci-fi, comedy and drama
The Expanse. The show had a satisfying ending but the books went a bit further into the future and I'd like to see more in the shows.

Seven seasons and a movie!
Eh...the last season was really weak IMO. The wheels fell off once Troy left and I think the meme of "six seasons and a movie" willed that final season into existence.
Sense8. There's nothing else quite like it. I really wanted to see more of that story, I'll never forgive Netflix for cancelling it.
This is very difficult... and we must be very careful indeed...
You shouldn't ask for MORE simply because you enjoyed it.
Friends already seemed to go on endlessly - but most shows are rightly put to bed and overshadowed by newer and better ideas.
Now I'm watching Blue Light and don't miss NYPD blue.... I still watch Kojak occasionally, but I sure wouldn't want any MORE.

Awesome stuff

HBO sucks and I hate them (but Band of Brothers was almost perfect, except that it was a little bit too restricted/condensed/reduced).
Black Mirror
'Nuff said.
- Given that this is a collection of stories, and that I started READING stories a lot more recently (currently just finished
Harrison Bergeron- the second story in "Welcome to the Monkeyhouse" written by Kurt Vonnegut. These stories are brilliant ideas put into short form - perfect.
Quantum Leap
- was almost as good, but a little more formulaic - so I'd vote for Black Mirror to take the flag forward for interesting short stories.
Talking about Black Mirror...
The OA
- Going back in history...
Firefly
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
- Anything of that time with Summer Glau looking incredibly gorgeous. Sure, you know I'm right - even when it's bad, it's just really good.
Scarborough (2019)
- lovely, and took me back to some childhood holidays.
Victoria (2016-19)
- certainly died too early (I love Jenna Coleman).
Tom and Jerry (original style, painted on glass, with no fear of being politically correct or educational).
Pink Panther
-
I know, they DID do more, a lot more Tom and Jerry - but most of that just sucks and I don't know why people even liked the continuation once the original atmosphere was lost. HD brought nothing to Tom n Jerry for sure.
-
Pink Panther owes 90% of it's success to bad drawing, amazing music, and sheer atmosphere surrounding mostly not amazing stories if the truth be told... but it worked so well. Hours of endless fun with just one bucket of blue, and another of pink paint... yes, you know what I'm talking about.
I still have a 'random cartoon' habit with Pink Panther/Tom n Jerry
There isn't much room for anything else in there.
I just wish there had been MORE of them.

People have already beaten me to Firefly over and over again so I'll add one likely to have been forgotten:
Carnivale.
Ended on an unbelievable cliffhanger, left SO MUCH unanswered, could've run for another decade. I'm re-mad that this show got canceled now.

Mindhunter, without a doubt.
I'm still sad when I think of what could've been

Pushing Daisies never got the ending it deserved. Everything had to be hastily wrapped up in one entire episode, third season setups were just left as loose ends, and it really didn't do such a great show justice
Game of thrones, but itβs the new series 7 and it rewrites original 7 and 8 and they donβt exist anymore.

I was gonna say Raised by wolves and Adventure Time, but I see those have gotten the deserved attention so I'm gonna add Kidding. Not because it was left in a bad way, but it was just an amazing show.
...but I mean Raised by wolves just hurts, it was just peaking goddamnit!
Star Trek Enterprise season 5. That show was just starting to get really good.
Would love to have seen the Romulan wars.
I would love another season of scrubs!
I know the last season (med school) was wildly unpopular, but i actually started warming up to it near the end. I feel like another season would have actually been pretty good
1899
I'm still heartbroken Netflix cancelled it because it had the unfortunate timing of airing at the same time as Wednesday. The directors' previous series, "Dark", was a proper mindfuck.

Adventure Time. It really needed one more season to fully flesh out the storylines they set up. Cartoon Network really screwed them (and other shows like SU) over
Fringe
Reboot, a Canadian CGI kids show about happenings inside a computer, the guardians, the viruses, the web, I used to love that show.
It ended in an intense cliffhanger π
So, um, kind of a monkey paw situation here...It did get an, ahem, "reboot"...Which was a hybrid live action/CGI show. It's not another season, and that's honestly probably the most disheartening part of it. Like you pulled enough together to do something more Reboot-related and that's where you went with it?
It's just...There. It's not very good, and it's not even so bad it's good either. It's more like a live action Code Lyoko than Reboot tbh, and it can't even get that right.

Altered Carbon! season 2 was left open ended because it was supposed to get a 3rd season.
I adored season 1, couldn't get into season 2, no matter how hard I tried.
More of the cyberpunk cities would have been right up my alley.
