Sci-fi Shows That Shouldn’t Have Been Canceled

This article touches on the shows that almost became classics; a love song to the unsung TV shows that captured hearts but didn't make enough money or ratings to capture the hearts of network executives

In an alternate universe, maybe these sci-fi shows that shouldn't have been canceled finished airing. Maybe their viewers loved them there as fans did here. 

Alphas

Sadly, just as fans began to warm up to the show in its second season, it got canceled owing to poor ratings and exorbitant production costs. 

The 4400

This show ran for four seasons and picked up loyal fans, but it got canceled for lower-than-anticipated ratings.
