Travelers TV Show. Doesn't even need the original actors, its perfect scenario for a reboot with different characters.

The Expanse. I mean come on, there still so much book material left... 🙄

And SD Card slots, god damnit. I don't wanna spend +$500 more just for 1tb storage, a 1tb sd card is like $100. Fuck these greedy corporations.

I get so petty about this that I got an A series samsung phone instead of the S series, just for the sd card slot.

Inside Job. Canceling a series when there's a cliffhanger should be illegal!

Also, Windows Mixed Reality, my VR headset is going to become a paperweight when I'll be forced to migrate off Windows 10 in a year.

Not "technically" discontinued, but almost

Buying products and owning them.

Buying products and getting full repair manuals and electrical schematics

Cathode ray tubes

Overbuilt refrigerators and washing machines

Clothes that last and are repairable

Houses built with full bricks and iron with actual straight walls and unbroken woodwork

So what they actually did was basically flawless from start to finish.

But give me 100 more episodes of the Good Place anyways.

Firefly! We need more seasons of that amazing show!

Better off ted. Fantastic show.

Scavengers Reign

Coyote vs Acme

The movie is already completely finished, but some "genius" thinks that they'll make more money by shelving it and claiming it for a tax-writeoff.

My name is Earl.

Loved this series so much. After finding out how they were going to end it, I would have loved to have watched it play out.

Punching Nazis

Santa Clarita Diet.

Just needed one more season to wrap things up. Damn you Netflix

How about things that never were but have always existed? Been waiting my entire adult life (I’m 42) for GRRM to finish Game of Thrones. My kid was 2 when the last book came out and now he’s driving lol

Firefly.

Venture Brothers. Taken too soon.

F-ZERO. Most innovative racing series of all time. F-ZERO 99 is cute and all, but high-speed was never the same after 2003. Aero GPX proves the most promising project since, and it is good.

Mind Hunter on Netflix.

Also JC Chasez’s second solo album that got shelved. I’ve been on an *NSYNC kick lately and would have loved more music from him.

I’ll go withe some more niche ones

• Limitless
• Lie To Me
• Dollhouse

Warcraft and StarCraft series not including World of Warcraft

Megaman Legends 3

Our boy is still stranded on the moon!

Worst thing is that they had a nearly complete demo of it for the 3DS, and released some video of the demo and testing stuff in-engine during development, then like a day before it was supposed to drop they cancelled the whole damn thing because supposedly not enough fans participated in their fan forums/events.

They could have at least released the damn demo! It was already finished! Would have cost them fucking NOTHING.

And then the series creator Inafune fumbled making a spiritual sequel to Megaman when he Kickstarted Mighty No.9, so when he tried to Kickstart Red Ash as one for Legends it failed to meet the goal.

Still frustrates me.

I always thought discontinuing the 3ds series was stupid. Nintendo switch is good and all but there is something about this console

Probably showing my age here, but OK Soda. That stuff was great.

Close runner up was Josta, which was briefly the official drink of GWAR (at least according to GWAR).

The Owl House and Odwalla Rocket Juice. HL2 EP3 in it's full form.

Lays had some chocolate covered potato chips that would come out around the holidays. I didn't care for them myself, but my wife loved them and I miss buying them for her

ReBoot and Beast Machines

I'd like it if Joss Whedon could finish a series. Firefly? The Nevers? So much potential to just get thrown away after one season.

A super niche one: the 2000s show "John Doe"

A guy wakes up with amnesia and doesn't know who he is

But he basically knows everything else.

Weird mystery that ended on a cliffhanger and basically no questions answered (although the show creator later revealed the later plans and plot)

Sarah Connor chronicles, Stargate Universe just of the top of my head, they weren't anything special but still enjoyed watching them and would have liked to see how they would have wrapped it up, a closure of sorts instead of leaving them in limbo like Half-Life.

Stargate Universe, Alphas and Dark Matter. All left on cliffhangers. Sometimes I wonder if the writers see the writing on the wall on the cancelation and pull this shit to see if people get a petition going to have their show come back.

Google Reader

Shark gummies. Idk what they were actually called, but they were the most delicious gummies. Some were opaque and milky colored, others weren't. I don't think they were associated with Street Sharks but maybe they were. I crave them.

GLOW! A travesty it never got a fourth season.

Manual transmissions in the United States.

Miiverse on the Wii U. Every games felt like a community. You could share tips, screenshots, etc… some games even had integrations like chat bubbles in Mario Maker. I always went out of my way to pick up a message in a bottle in Windwaker.

When they shut it down, the console main screen felt VERY empty and each players, very alone (You can spare the jokes about how we were alone anyway since it didn’t sell well)
