Shows that ended too soon.

You now, those shows that got cancelled just when they got going? The two I wanted to go on forever are "Kingdom" with Stephan Fry and "Detectorists" starring McKenzie Crook and Toby Jones. Both British shows.

It was about a black jazz band in 1930s London. It had John Goodman in a very interesting role. Also another mini series called “The Porter” That I wanted to see more of

For those who never saw its short run, this Leslie Nielson comedy in the spirit of Airplane was a real gem. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find complete episodes anywhere.

This show from Poland was riveting. A group of friends connected online solving crimes that have the local police stumped.

CBS jerked it around the schedule and it never was on sure footing and where people could always find it.
