List of Canceled Shows that never got a real ending

Now that Earl has pretty much been canceled, with a cliffhanger ending no less, it got me thinking about other shows that have been canceled with little to no ending.

1) Gary & Mike

The final episode of Gary & Mike ends with the titular duo driving off an unfinished overpass with a ton of cops chasing them. They hold hands Thelma & Louise style and the screen freeze frames with them in midair and the words "To Be Continued" appear on the screen.

2) Invader Zim

This was one of the funniest cartoons ever.

3) Undergrads

This show had an okay final episode, but they totally set up the story to continue "next semester".

4) Brisco County Jr.

This show had so much going for it.

5) Jack of All Trades

Okay, admittedly not the best show, but as far as Bruce Campbell one-liners went, this show was great.

Those are just a few that I have thought of. Please feel free to add to the list or discuss the shows already listed.

Kingdom. The show had a cliffhanger ending (which I won't give away in case anyone here wants to see it).

I think EVERY show that has made it to the second season should have an "ending episode" written into the contract.

Soap.

Soap did have a real ending - among the things that happened, Jessica Tate was shot by a firing squad.

I'm quite a lovely person - apart from my terrible taste in pie.

How has nobody mentioned Heroes or Terriers? given the last season of Heroes wasnt that great but overall watchable and good. and the cliffhanger at the end was worth the hole season and than BAM canceled. that is my 5th most POd series finale of all time. and terriers was a great show that only lasted one season heres my top 5..
