11 TV Shows That Deserved Another Season

9. Angel

Yes, the Buffy The Vampire Slayer spin-off made it to 5 seasons but it needed at least one more. While the series struggled to find its identity in the first couple of seasons, its final year was its best. Buffy fan favourite Spike had joined the cast and the show's plots were spectacularly dark. Ratings for the show were strong and so the cancellation was a real shock.

Creator Joss Whedon compared it to a "healthy guy falling dead from a heart attack" and fans put together an aggressive campaign to keep it alive. The final episode ended ambiguously, leaving viewers with hope that there could be more to come. Though the show wasn't picked up again, fans were able to continue engaging with the characters via the Dark Horse Comics series Angel which frequently intersected with the Buffy comics. Still, one more season of David Boreanaz and James Masters sniping at each other would have been very welcome.
