It's a sad reality of television viewing. Sooner or later, shows you love are going to end. Has yours already been cancelled or was renewed? When a network or streaming service announces that they're not making another season of a show, they count that as cancelled, some shows "come to a natural end," but someone somewhere said "enough." There are also some instances, either due to scheduling conflicts, various delays, or dropped advertising. This list is only from television series which originated in the United States and ended in the years between 1960 to 2009.

They only include live actor shows and not animated, cartoons, miniseries, documentaries, sports, or game show selections. Just choose an era from the year section on the top menu for a list with more descriptions. I tried to provide cancelled TV shows we still can't stop thinking about. There's nothing quite as upsetting as a good series cut short. These cancelled TV shows enthralled us with compelling characters, captivating storylines and rich world-building, only to vanish leaving fans suspended in unresolved tension. Some were too niche, others too ambitious and a few simply victims of streaming processes.
