If you missed it, fan-favorite Starz comedy "Party Down" was recently announced as having a new season in development.
A cult comedy classic, the show became a victim of its stars own success as many of the actors on the show moved on to other bigger projects (GLEE, Parks & Recreation, Silicon Valley, etc.) While many fans feel it was cancelled too soon, seeing it come back gives hope to a lot of people.
We all have that one show we wish got the "one more season" treatment, and if you ask us, we'll tell you what and why.
Reddit user, superkevinguru, wanted to know what show was cut off too soon when they asked:
"What is a TV show that was canceled way too soon?"
We like to laugh, so its always a bummer when our favorite comedy goes off the air. It means we have one less thing to make us giggle and brighten our day than we did before.

Spreading All The Good
"What the hell happened after the cliffhanger in My Name is Earl?" ~ i_simp_4_tedcruz
"Man. We need a final season. I don't care if we find a way to bs the plot so that Earl is still in the middle of that story years later." ~ sketchysketchist
"I remember reading an interview were the creator had intended for earl to never finish his list, that he would come across another person working on their list, and he would see all the good he had spread." ~ Fastman903
There's a lot that goes into cancelling a show. Perhaps the network is moving in a different direction or maybe the show isn't bringing in the ratings they hoped for.
Whatever the reason, it will never satisfy hardcore fans.

This Show Sounds Nuts
"For those that remember it, Terra Nova. It got cancelled by FOX after only one season and was later bought by Netflix, giving hope the show's fans that it would find its footing elsewhere, but Netflix never did anything w/ it. It had some great acting and a compelling plot." ~ Elegant-Narwhal-506
"HOW WAS THERE A 14TH CENTURY SHIP THERE! I NEED TO TO KNOW!" ~ johnotopia
"Yeah that show was great. Left off on a pretty exciting premise too. So sad it never went anywhere, I'd love to see where the writers wanted to take it!" ~ GumberculesLuvThtGuy
Usually, when this topic of discussion happens online, there's two shows that are almost always brought up as being victims of the cancellation button long before their time...
No Power In The 'Verse Can Stop Me
"Firefly" ~ f-ckpepsi2
"Admittedly while I love the show, I think that the reason for it being so fondly remembered is that it was short and sweet. It didn't go long enough to drag out into mediocrity." ~ NinjaBreadManOO
"the correct answer will always be firefly" ~ AnrianDayin
