The Best Single Season Cancelled Shows

The Best Single Season Cancelled Shows
What are the best single season cancelled shows in television history? These shows were actually really great, but for whatever reason (usually ratings), they got the ax after just a handful of episodes. Without a doubt, many on this list of series canceled after one season deserved much longer runs and all these TV shows were canceled before their time. Vote for the shows you think didn't deserve just one season on the air and feel free to rerank this list your way, too.

It might surprise you to learn that despite their great successes, entertainment heavyweights like Judd Apatow and Joss Whedon didn't always come out on top. Whedon's Firefly remains one of the most unjust cancellations in TV history, as does Apatow's Freaks and Geeks (both are now among the all-time top cult TV shows). But this list also includes some more obscure shows.

Add any one season TV shows that might be missing because if *you* miss it, it qualifies. What single-season TV shows do you believe are the greatest ever? It's a safe bet that several of the 1 season TV shows listed here are also among the best TV shows in recent memory.

2015 March Madness South Division Predictions
The 2015 NCAA Tournament South Division is stacked with tons of talent and potential bracket busters. Here is your chance to vote on who you think is going to make it out of the South and move on to The Final Four.

Duke and Gonzaga hold the top 2 spots in the South but there is plenty of teams down the bracket that can play with the best in the college basketball. Don't sleep on Eastern Washington at the 13 seed. SMU at the 6 seed should be a tough out for anyone. They're roster is deep and they are ferocious on the offensive glass.

So what do you think, Rankers? Who is taking The South! It's March Madness! Break out your brackets and get voting!

2015 March Madness West Division Predictions
The 2015 NCAA Tournament West Division should be an interesting one to watch. Here's your chance to vote on who you think will win the West Division and keep on dancing right into the Final Four.

Wisconsin holds a well deserved 1 seed but their path out of the West is full of obstacles. Arizona at the 2 seed is a team that many thought deserved to be a number 1 seed (and they did so they'll be playing like they have something to prove). And of course you have to keep your eyes on North Carolina at the 4 seed. UNC is one of the most storied programs in college basketball and you never know when they might have a little extra magic (hint: it's usually in March).

So, what do you think Rankers? Can Wisconsin survive and make it out of the West? Vote for who you think is headed to the Final Four out of the West Division now!

2015 March Madness Midwest Division Predictions
The Midwest Division in the 2015 NCAA Tournament has shaped up to be some thrilling basketball to watch. ... Maybe. It sort of depends on the Kentucky. The UNDEFEATED Kentucky Wildcats, the tournament's number 1 overall seed, on their march towards history and the perfect season. This is your chance to vote on who you think will win the Midwest Division and head to the Final Four.

Nobody has beaten Kentucky (obviously) and it hasn't really looked like anybody CAN beat Kentucky. But, that's why they play the games.

On paper, March Madness should be reduced to March "Meh" Kentucky is just gonna win anyway. But, before they do They've got to make out of the Midwest. In their way are formidable opponents like Kansas at the 2 seed, and potential bracket buster Buffalo at the 12.

Can anybody stop Kentucky? Vote now!

27 Pictures of Young Paul Walker
In honor of his amazing life and career, here are some beautiful pictures of a young Paul Walker, the late actor who is best known for his role in the hit film series “Fast and the Furious.” Born on September 12, 1973 in Glendale, California, his career first began as a toddler after he was cast for a Pampers television commercial. In his childhood he was cast on the soap opera “Young and the Restless,” and he also made appearances on “Touched by an Angel.” During his teenager years he caught the public’s attention after starring in films like “She’s all That” and “Varsity Blues.” Walker became known as a sex symbol and these pictures feature him during his late teenager years and into his early 20’s. He was tragically killed in a single car accident on November 30, 2013; two of his films were released posthumously, “Hours” and “Brick Mansions.” His final film performance in “Furious 7” is scheduled to be released on April 3, 2015. Enjoy checking out these photos of gorgeous Paul Walker when he was young.

The Worst Albums by Great Bands
Horrible music released by usually-great artists and bands. Sometimes even the most ingenious, original and creative musical voices can turn out work that's just... not up to snuff. This should not be confused with simply being ahead of one's time. Certainly, many now-renowned and significant musicians were not appreciated in their own time, or proved to be far ahead of the curve. (Those early negative notes that inspired the band name Led Zeppelin, for example. Or everyone who didn't get what Iggy Pop was up to when he first broke on to the scene. Or Neil Young's "Tonight's the Night" album.)

Instead, these are experiments, new directions or returns to the well that just didn't go well, and that have grown even worse with time. So it's time to be brutally honest, and fess up to the low points for some of the great musical artists of all time. Have at it by voting, or if you don't see your picks already on the list, start your own to get them on there.

The Best Beatles Albums
After becoming the greatest and most popular band in the world the Beatles decided that they would rather be artists than performers. Especially after they stopped touring, 'the album' became the focus of their creative energy and the central channel through which the listener experienced the band. Thus the Beatles made their albums into works of art instead of 'just collections of singles' (which makes the number of Beatles albums on the list of the best albums of all time a lot less surprising). The Beatles' albums are their true legacy, their true gift to posterity, their true claim to immortality. But which one is best?

Abbey Road or Sgt. Pepper's? Revolver or Rubber Soul? With the Beatles or Meet the Beatles or The Beatles? It's time to finally decide which Beatles album is the greatest and this time you, the fans, get the vote! And once you've voted for and ranked all the albums, you can get really detailed and vote for the best Beatles songs ever. Long live Beatlemania!

The Best Cartoons of All Time
There have been many fantastic animated TV shows throughout the history, but which ones are the best? Some people think that cartoons are just for children, but there are many that have frequent themes that even adults will enjoy. From classic animated series like "Looney Tunes," "The Flintstones," and "The Jetsons" to the modern day hits of "The Simpsons" and "South Park," there are many great cartoons available.

The cartoon was created during the silent movie era as a short that was shown before movies. They gained even more popularity when the talkies came around, most notable of these were made by the Walt Disney company and Warner Bros with "Merry Melodies" (which later became "Looney Tunes"). With the invention of the television, cartoons and animated programs finally found a realm in which to flourish.

This is a list of the best cartoons of all time, including series that are long gone and ones that are still going today. Vote up your favorite or make your own version.

The Most Influential Contemporary Americans
A list of the Americans who have had the most central influence on, or importance to, the modern era. This would include Americans who have most significantly altered the course of events from roughly the 1980s onward. So while someone like Ronald Reagan or Steve Jobs might very well apply, figures like Franklin D. Roosevelt or even Martin Luther King Jr. would probably not be considered contemporary enough to qualify.

Americans from every walk of life and every industry have managed to profoundly influence the country. This can include efforts to alter the culture or perspective of Americans, technological or scientific innovations that forever changed the way we live, business achievements which altered the course of one or multiple industries, or political decisions that permanently shifted later events in America and the world.

Vote for the Americans below you think had the greatest impact on the way we live today. Or if you don't see your selection, add it by making your own list.

The Greatest Musical Artists of the
Take a big whiff- "mmmbop", it smells like the '90s in here! An incredibly eclectic decade for music, the 1990s saw the rise in popularity of new genres and sounds never heard before (and rarely heard better). Bands of the '90s created a unique sound and catchy lyrics in a way that captured the enthusiasm and disillusionment of the era. The '90s bands and solo artists that populate this list cover all musical categories.

From the East Coast/West Coast rap wars, to the grunge era, to low-fi garage rock, to '90s rock bands, the Lilith Fair sound, and the teen pop takeover - 1990s music was rich with experimentation and style. Where else but in the MTV in your head can you find top artists like Nirvana, Wu-Tang Clan, No Doubt, A Tribe Called Quest, Oasis, Bikini Kill and Britney Spears in one place? Whether you were a fan of 90s alternative bands like Blind Melon, you were more dark and brooding and loved grunge music, or you couldn't get enough of popular, mainstream pop like the Backstreet Boys, take a moment now and give some of your favorite '90s music artists some love!

The Best Mismatched Movie Couples

The Best Mismatched Movie Couples

Hollywood loves to put together mismatched couples. Sometimes, these oddball relationships work out, and we can expect that the couple will live happily ever after, like Edward and Vivian in Pretty Woman. Other times, these pairings are simply not meant to be, like Alvy and Annie, in Annie Hall. Whether or not the couple makes it for the long haul, or burns out after a brief spark, one thing is for sure, opposites certainly do attract and there are lots of examples of odd couples in movies.
 

There are a million reasons why these famous Hollywood movie couples make for a strange pairing. Perhaps it’s because of an incredible age difference, like the teenage boy Harold and the octogenarian Maude, in the 1971 twist on the romantic comedy Harold and Maude. Maybe it’s because the couple are actually brother and sister, like Luke and Leia in Star Wars. In their defense they didn’t find out that they were twins until The Return of the Jedi. However, Richie and Margot from The Royal Tenebaums, did know they were brother and sister. Sure, Margot was adopted, but that’s still pretty gross.
 

On the complete other end of the spectrum, perhaps a couple seems a bit odd, because well, their significant other only exists in their imagination, like Lars’s blowup girlfriend in Lars and the Real Doll. Of course, there is the whole inter-species thing as well, like Allen and Madison, in the literal fish out of water comedy Splash.  


Regardless of the reason why these couples in films are mismatched, and whether they live happily ever after or not, they're here on this list of Hollywood and cinema's best mismatched couples, waiting for you to decide which of them is one of the best movie couples, despite being an odd pairing.

Vote up the famous couples in movies who, though a bit of a mismatch, are great, memorable, and some of the best film couples ever. Don't see a couple you think is the most mismatched in film? Add them below!
