Gone too soon: 6 queer shows canceled before their time
fickle nature. A show can become a smash hit in its first season, only to peter out into obscurity with the next (see also: Twin Peaks, Felicity).
On the other hand, what started as a ratings loser can also go on to legendary status (Cheers, Seinfeld). Still, others just seem to go on forever (The Simpsons), or come back from the dead more than once (Futurama).Where queer shows are concerned, we, the devoted audience, have had to sit through some dreadful stinkers.
We’ve also seen a few axed a bit too soon, depriving a devoted audience of their beloved stories and representation. These queer series deserved to go on longer, but hit the chopping block instead.
Here’s hoping somebody, someday might give them the full-on resurrection treatment. (Hey, it worked for Twin Peaks!)What can we say?
