What was cancelled or discontinued that you wish wasn't or that they brought it back?

headphone jacks in phones

Mandatory Firefly comment

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

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

Light pickup trucks.

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

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.

Firefly! We need more seasons of that amazing show!

Better off ted. Fantastic show.

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

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.

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)

Master and Commander should be several movies and an MMO game.

S tier TV Shows cancelled by streaming studio fucks:

Raised by Wolves (Max), Little Demon (Hulu), Archive81 (Netflix), Scavenger's Reign (Originally Max, then cancelled, bought by Netflix, then fucking cancelled again. Clowns)

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.

Santa Clarita Diet.

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

GLOW! A travesty it never got a fourth season.

Scavengers Reign

Surge soda. They bring it back every once in a while but the demand isn't there.

I have a few:

Choco Tacos: some places have been rumored to have brought this back

Mountain Dew Pitch Black. Reintroduced and limited.

Heroes franchise/series. Creator is rumored to be bringing it back.

'I am not okay with this' Netflix series based on a grophic novel.

Wish I had tried Pepsi Blue. Grew up in the 90's but never tried it.

Edit to add: The OG version of GTA San Andreas uncensored. My buddy had a copy we would play but I never got my hands on a copy of my own. If owned this would be a collector'd item.

Command & Conquer series as a whole, no releases in 4 years, the last new release was a mobile game in 2018, and the last proper new entry was 2012.

The fan community has (at least) two really high quality mods still undergoing active development, with an actual release in the last two years. Giving this series the Sonic Mania treatment would be incredible, and probably make EA a lot of money, but also is very unlike their usual business practices.

Google Reader

Punching Nazis

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.

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.

1899 on Netflix - Season 1 was great and ended on a really intriguing moment. And then they cancelled it. Sigh.

Altered Carbon.

I know: the book series is very hit-and-miss, and they chose the hits.

I know: they changed the actor; but Joel Kinneman needs more time with Mireilla Enos, so you're gonna have to bring him back.

Firefly.

Raised By Wolves. Stargate Universe.

ReBoot and Beast Machines

I'd like to see Sega come out with a modern console just to see what they would come up with

Stadia. It was so easy and reliable.

Venture Brothers. Taken too soon.

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.

Warcraft and StarCraft series not including World of Warcraft

Galavant, it was a show that only lasted a season, two seasons, but was just kind of a medieval-era musical drama/comedy that didn't take itself too seriously.

The songs were catchy, the characters were a little corny but grew on you, and the actors could sing fairly well. But, it only got one season and ended on a cliffhanger, so we'll never know what could have been I think it deserved one more season to bring some closure to some things. :/

🎶Way back in days of old, there was a legend told, about a hero known as Galavant🎶

Edit: another user pointed out a few things I was wrong about, edited to correct.

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 boondocks

I’ll go withe some more niche ones

• Limitless
• Lie To Me
• Dollhouse

PT. A horror game from Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro and from the Silent Hill series? Yes please

Candy bars when they were their original full size and before they adulterated the recipes to cut costs

HBO’s Rome

Pringles Schezuan BbQ potato chips. In the purple bag. Those were the bomb.

Jericho, I remember fans sent in tons of peanuts to the studio as a protest.

Sense8. We got a finale, but cramming 3 seasons into 2 hours showed.

Hard copies of media. I loved my tape collection.

Daredevil. I'm thrilled its coming back with the same cast.

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.

Canadian here. Chocolate company Laura Secord made a chocolate bar called the Royale. Or Mint Royale? Something like that. Basically a "solid" mint milk chocolate bar that would just melt in your mouth. Those things were fantastic.

When I was 16 (now late 30s for reference) they sold off the chocolate bar to Nestlé Canada. Who immediately changed the recipe to use, I assume, cheaper chocolate. Maybe cheaper everything. It was never the same and after a year or two they just disappeared, never to be seen again.

My first experience with enshittification I guess.

Photosphere. Fuck you Google.

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

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

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.

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

Peanut Lovers Chex Mix; the regular Chex mix is just fine but Peanut Lovers was on a different level.

The Stargate series. They should make Stargate Ancients.

Manual transmissions in the United States.

Altoids Sours

Ginger Altoids

I really enjoyed Happy, and the ending was a little rushed. It's one of those classic shows that people seemed to like, but not enough people seemed to have watched to keep it going.

Alongside this, sugar versions of soft drinks in the UK. I have an intolerance to most popular artificial sweeteners, and as someone that likes fizzy sodas .y choices dropped significantly after cunting Jamie Oliver decided to ruin another thing I love.

Compact pickup trucks. I got one of the last S10s made and it's older than the average Tiktokist.

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)

Avatar The Last Airbender.

61 episodes was far too few. That show could have rivaled Simpsons if they let it.

The Logitech K800 keyboard. I swear by them, had 5 of them over the course of like more then a decade.

Super soft illuminated keys, super nice to work with, I have the last one here on my desk and I can't find new ones anymore.

They were quite pricey, around 80-100 dollars, but man it was nice while it lasted

For the longest time I thought a certain soda I used to drink growing up, Jones Soda, was discontinued until maybe a year or so ago. Found it in a store near where I live and am glad it still exists.

As for something that actually was discontinued/cancelled, my personal pick would probably be Batman Beyond because I really like the idea of the whole Batman of the future being a teenager who has help from an elderly Bruce Wayne and really like the show in general. I also absolutely love the theme song and animation that went with it.

Bit of a deep cut, but Schmigadoon! was utterly brilliant and I wish they’d been given another season or three to explore more styles.

Carnivàle.

Anker Spirit X earphones.

I wanna say Freaks and Geeks but I also think it has the perfect ending and literally no show runner would be brave enough to do it on purpose.

I'm gonna channel my inner teenager and say Sobe Red Tea and the Jet Moto series of video games.

Both were staples of the 90's for me.

Hoy Fong Sriracha story is a hell of a ride, highly recommend checking out the wiki

The joyful wonder and whimsey that lived in my soul and twinkle that shone through my eyes, or at least I think it was there. It's now just a faint memory of a memory, something that I yearn for but unsure if I ever even tasted it.

Original Special K cereal. Not the Original they call original now.

The Quest (2014). It was a random find on Netflix many years ago. My friend and I checked it out and ended up getting into it. We ended up watching 2-3 episodes back to back. It's one of my all time favorite 'different' TV shows.

"Fantasy meets reality as 12 contestants engage in epic challenges in the world of "Everealm", and compete to avoid "banishment" in order to become the one true hero that will save the kingdom."

anyone remember 'good an fruity' candy? it was like 'good an plenty' except it was edible.

I want Arizona to bring back their piña colada. Apparently they haven't made it since 2011.

Camel Exotic Blend Cigarettes. Good times. cough COUGH ahhhh. Good times.

The series that I really liked and wish it would have completed but ended up being canceled due to a writer strike was 'Pushing Up Daisy's' https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0925266/

Something I wish I'd bring back is the '90s style. Honestly so much was more interesting back then. All the colored gadgets, and the really cool ones where you could see sort of through the plastic see the components. Commercials were absolutely unhinged and wild. Things were just more fun and less formulaic. So many things today seem to have no real personality.

Sunbeam honey buns and Sara Lee apple danishes. I have a bit of a sweet tooth.

Fritos original lime and Chile early 2k.

Noragami - too soon it was just getting good.

A bit of a weird one because it never actually came out, but I was really excited about the news that Michel Gondry was set to direct a film adaptation of Rudy Rucker's novel The Master of Space and Time. I really like both Gondry and Rucker, and their sensibilities would have worked really well together. The story is kind of a sci-fi three wishes fable. It's not my favorite of his--that's gotta be White Light--but it's really light-hearted and fun. And Gondry is terrific at getting bizarre, dream-like ideas onto film. I'm still bummed out that they cancelled that.

For something that actually did come out but then got cancelled, I enjoyed Disney's adaptation of The Mysterious Benedict Society. Then they threw that one down the memory hole for tax reasons, so there's no way to watch it anymore short of piracy. I feel like that shouldn't be allowed. Seems like they should add least have to provide the Library of Congress with a copy. It's weird that our cultural history can just be yanked away like that now.

Garbage Pail Kid cards.

10 cent Near beer, (NA beer today), available for us kids to buy on street vending machines.

Some of my best memories was being able to get into town in the evenings after all the chores were done and playing baseball with my friends on a hot summer evening. And when we were done, we would walk uptown to the one pop machine that had Hamms near beer in it. At 10 cents for a 12 oz bottle it was amazing. So cold and so refreshing.

People today would absolutely lose their minds over 9 or 10 kids standing around on a sidewalk drinking NA beer today.

Jodorowsky's Dune.

The actual film, not the documentary.

The 4400 and Eureka

The sour cream and chive flavored PastaRoni.

The Hotline Miami game franchise. 1 was perfect, 2 was better in every single way, and right after dropping both entries within a year of each other to wild acclaim, the creators announced that they wouldn't develop the series further, which is a shame. I'd gladly buy a new entry every single year if I could.

I want another Splinter Cell game.

But seeing what Ubisoft has become…maybe it’s for the best we haven’t had a new one in 11 years.

Too bad they won’t let someone else make a new game.

Same for Deus Ex.

I think a remake or sequel of Samurai Pizza Cats would be golden.

I'm not a fast food person, but the McDonald's Arch Deluxe was amazing. I'd love to have one again. Also Pepsi Kona (coffee-flavored Pepsi) was really good.

I miss things having actual buttons instead of touchscreen - most commonly, car dashboards. But even my microwave's interface has a touchscreen feel. It's not an actual screen but the "buttons" don't need to be pressed so much as grazed, or sometimes my finger being near the button is enough to "press" it. So it ends up in a lot of false inputs that I have to clear out and start over. I have to be very deliberate which slows down my ability to use the stupid thing. And I mostly only use it as a kitchen timer, I can't imagine how annoyed I'd be if I used it more frequently!

So yeah, buttons.

The Logitech G600. It had a 3rd mouse button for your ring finger, and 12 thumb buttons with amazing macro capabilities. Only the sensor kind of sucked so it was useless for FPS gaming

I remember a blue Pepsi that was hella fucking good back when I was in high school. I miss that. It was a pretty sour berry flavor; might have been blue raspberry but it was also pretty unique and one of the sweetest, yet still tolerable, sodas I've ever tried.

I also miss Dr. Slice. It wasn't a Dr. Pepper knock off; it was an official mix of Dr. Pepper and Slice. Not sure if it was orange slice, but it was better than regular Dr. Pepper and I only ever saw it at one random ass restaurant in the small town I had lived in most of my life.

original carrot sobe

Journeyman, The OA

I’m very disappointed by the lack of ‘The Middleman’ here. A very fun show with a very spunky Natalie Morales. Based on the graphic novels by Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Les McClaine, but the best part was that Javier Grillo-Marxuach was the show runner so it really didn’t lose that crazy fun factor of comic books nuttiness. Seriously rock eating aliens, zombie flying fish, boy bands trying to take over the world. It only got 12 Episodes and it’s still got 100% on rotten tomatoes and even over an 8 on IMDb.

Mega Man Legends 3 - get Volnutt off the moon!

The Finder TV series had a lot of potential, but one of the main actors died. :/

Legends of Tomorrow I binged it and was digging it and then....

Ding How. Local place, amazing schechuan shrimp.

Star Trek Kelvin timeline

Half life 3

The rooster Sriracha sauce!!! ( They changed pepper suppliers a few years ago )

Chocolicious

Cornwell's Plum Sauce. I haven't seen it since probably 2001 and I still want it back. It was the best thing on Macaroni cheese. The closest alternative is Masterfoods BBQ sauce and it's great but it's never hit the same. I tried other plum sauces since there are hundreds but it seems Cornwell's take on it was really different to everyone else's in a way I can't describe so I don't know what to look for in an alternative. Even if I did find another plum sauce as good, the bottle design and logo are iconic for me and part of my childhood.

Taco Bell Chilitos.

I wanted another season of American Vandal on Netflix.

First season was good. But while the second season started slow, it ended with what I thought was a pretty intense emotional pivot.

You begin with a poop joke, and end with a commentary on the illegal sharing of a persons intimate photos online and the harassment and blackmail that can come from that. It was really really good. I wanted to see what else they could come up with.

Trader Joe’s Belgian Chocolate Pudding. It was really good with fresh strawberries mixed in.

Taco Bell's Chili Cheese Burrito

Milk Duds that take effort to chew

G2 Grape Gatorade Drink

Lodge 49

The show This Fool. It was absolutely hilarious.

Korgoth of Barbaria. Only ever made a pilot, it was made by the creators of SpongeBob and the whole thing was like a story from Heavy Metal magazine.

Orbitz! It was a flavored water drink with little balls in it back in the 90s.

Reese's banana cream peanut butter cups

Josta

Sour Altoids

Xenosaga

Mango juul pods

Stoned Wheat Thins.

Cant fucking believe they stopped making the best cracker in the world

Series: santa clarita diet. Weird humor, weird setting, but I liked it a lot… cancelled and ended on a cliffhanger.

The mcrib in USA

The TV show Defiance.

I loved that show and the third season was probably the best one, and yet it still got cancelled. 🙁

7/11 in my country, kinda miss it, though probably just nostalgia

Doritos Mac and cheese bites and Pringles Tortillas.

Barbara Bui perfume.

The salad Panera used to have with salmon, oranges, olives.

Stick shift Honda Accord

tic tac gum, it's small and convenient.

Tropi burger

Oh I miss thee

There was an interesting show called The Society. I think that got cancelled on Netflix

Lay's Wow Chips with Olestra

Renegade Nell

The satanic panic. It made playing RPGs and video games feel so fucking metal.

Dark meat Mcnuggets

Taco Bell's black bean burritos.

Cherry NOS energy drink

I have two cookies I’d like brought back, please.

Nabisco suddenly Smores

And (one I can’t find a pic of) Chiquita made banana shortbread cookies with chocolate on the bottom in the 90s, and they were great, too.

Bk flamer. All day, every day
