TV shows beginning with F - there are certainly loads that I don't know of at all, but the four that come instantly to mind (part of the reason for point (i) below) share two things in common:

(i) I think they are brilliant,
(ii) they were cancelled before completion.

The four Fs I'm thinking of are:

- Family Guy
- Farscape
- Firefly
- Futurama

Interestingly, as discussed on these forums already, Family Guy has returned, definitely pleasing the many fans who caught up with the show when it appeared on DVD. For a short stint, Farscape did the same, returning for a quick mini-series to complete the story. Similarly, Firefly is due to return later this year in the movie Serenity. Any ideas if Futurama is likely to return? With The Simpsons losing their magic, is there now room for Fry and co?

Since they were all cancelled, I guess there won't be many who agree with my opinion, but I thought I'd put it on the forums in case there were others with an interest in these shows. Another great F was Fawlty Towers, but I don't know the history behind that - I had the impression it was only meant to run as long as it did.

One exception would have to be Friends - but it fails in both the points I mentioned above.

On the discussion side of things, does anybody have particular favourite episodes from the shows above? Not that anyone cares, or is reading this far down this message, but I'd go with:

Firefly - Out of Gas
Farscape - Crackers Don't Matter (a close battle though)
Futurama - Freedom Day (I like Dr Z)

If I'm honest, I don't know the episode titles for Family Guy, so can't put anything down for that. Opinions welcome.

Farscape? That was the worst TV show I've ever seen.

Fastlane.

Ok, it wasn't so great, but it had Tiffany Amber-Thiessen in it, and we all know how hawt Kelly Kapowski is.

It wasn't cancelled, it just finished.
