10 MTV Shows That Never Should Have Been Cancelled

4. Sifl & Olly (1997-1999)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdKxgxPtST4 The brainchild of everyone€™s favorite quirky songwriter, Liam Lynch, and his beloved childhood friend, Matt Crocco, the sock puppetry masterpiece of Sifl & Olly was murdered too soon. Set up as a talk show of sorts, the show was comprised of mainly Olly€™s psychotic fueled rants and Sifl€™s silent head shaking. With several original segments, such as a home shopping network selling a foot-long hamster, and a stoner assistant named Chester, the show was successful in providing what most teens need: a quick paced, hilariously eclectic show focused around everything and nothing in particular. Its service to the music industry mirrors that of Bevis and Butthead, a few clips of songs here and there, but its unique and original soundtrack is what makes this show one for the ages. It was taken from us too soon, but that doesn€™t stop its wide cult followers from hoping for a revival.
