chean: More than anything else, my favourite series, The Wire. Firefly is another, though it was cancelled so quickly that the episodes produced almost feel like a "mini-series" to me.
Among shows which had good long runs and ended with good closure, but which I'd still have loved to see more of, I'd count Breaking Bad, The Shield, ST the Next Generation & ST Deep Space 9.
The Wire is undoubtedly my favorite overall show too, but I actually think it ended well. Then again, I would love to see it have continued for the rest of the writer's, director's and actor's lives so I'm not exactly being reasonable with that one:).
DS9 and TNG too I feel similarly about, especially DS9. I don't read any of the ST Tie-in novels because while I can get behind gaming tie-ins tv and film adaptations feel hollow and empty to me. Unfortunately that is where much of the continuing stories of the two crew's happens.
monkeydelarge: Yeah but it would of been nice if they didn't stop after the Waterloo episode and then continue with the next episode almost 9 years later. Sean Bean is not an immortal unfortunately. You have to use him while you can for your TV shows and movies. :)
Oh I concur completely, as I said the "Old Bean" isn't getting any younger. At least Sharpe won't end with his death, hopefully. Might be the first role he's ever held where he won't die!
