I do have some stuff in the pipe, but while I'm deciding what I want to actually put out in the stratosphere, I just thought of a great top 5. So here goes.
(I thought of this because I just saw another of those Dennis Haysbert Allstate commercials)
Top 5 Shows They Never Should Have Taken Off The Air:
1. Arrested Development
2. The Unit
3. Firefly
4. Studio 60
5. SportsNight
Funny that Studio 60 and SportsNight were both written by Aaron Sorkin (West Wing, The American President, A Few Good Men). Man, he runs hot and cold with the public, but he's my favorite writer, with Joss Whedon (Firefly, Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible) a close second.
This list would most likely include shows like Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared, but I still haven't seen the former, and only watched the latter years later. And of course, if I called up my old roommate Sean and asked him, he would say Farscape, hands down, which, let's be honest, sucked. Here's a good list from MSN.
So, let's hear it. Which cancelled-too-early shows do you wish had never gone down?

1. Add Dollhouse.
2. Add The Riches.
3. Farscape did NOT suck and has, in fact, produced a substantial comic series that has a lot of fans. I was I tried to name a cat after a character in Farscape once, but my parents intervened. It broke my 17-yea-old heart. ;)
Your list is good, except I've never seen 2 or 3. So replace those with FotC and Freaks & Geeks.
