Not really cancelation per se, but some of my favorite shows came back from the writer's strike in 2007-08 pretty poorly.
Sarah Connor Chronicles was axed shortly after they went back on air. Chuck's post-strike material was S3 and beyond, and that's when it started to jump the shark for me. Prison Break S4 was exceptionally bad, even by PB standards.
Dexter did have the Trinity Killer, which was the best season and antagonist by far.
Oh, speaking of writers strikes, Heroes was a great show before the strike and then it just got worse and worse.
I'm still annoyed they never did a movie or at least a couple of specials to wrap up Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Also as a side note, Game of Thrones has a fairly disproportionate amount of Sarah Connors in it.
