: I was thinking about it, and I definetly wouldn't consider Seinfeld a "cancelled" show, and I don't think I've ever seen it referred to as such in print.
A show is really only technically cancelled when it's actually airing and they stop airing it, ie: "Clerks: The Animated Series".
Then there are plenty of other shows which air for an entire season but don't get re-newed, like "Undeclared". Technically, I suppose, you could make a case for this being cancellation as well, but they aired all of the episodes (or, anyhow, I think they did). "The Tick" is the same, although they didn't air all of those.
But "Monty Python's Flying Circus" ended when the troupe decided that they agreed with John Cleese, there was nothing left to do with the show.
That said, the best moment was the skit in which Chapman plays a film producer and the rest of the group, along with another chap whose name escapes me, play his staff of writers. It's at the end of Episode 6 [the best of the 45], the one with "Crunchy Frog". (I know it has a name, but I forget what it is.)
