It's totally relevant. The link goes straight to #7, which is Traveler.

10 TV Cancellations Still Worth Raving About

Traveler was the best show audiences never got to see. David DiGilio's ambitious conspiracy thriller was, for its very brief run, as good as 24 at its best. Centered on a pair of college students who discover that their roommate is not who he appears to be and has set them up as suspected terrorists, this was a show that never let up. Whenever it seemed to be revealing answers, there would be another wrench thrown in, and not just for the sake of perpetually leading the audience on. This show had so many layers and so many real possibilities on the table that anything could happen. It was a legitimate unpredictability that many later shows now thrive on.

The saving grace for this series is that following its cancellation, DiGilio took to TVGuide.com and posted a full outline of what would have happened in seasons two and three, so at least fans weren't left hanging. Unfortunately, it was almost a double-edged sword, because that outline was so good it left me honestly depressed that the contents would never be filmed. I've gotten a little better at letting this one go - if it hadn't ended, we wouldn't have Matt Bomer on White Collar or Aaron Stanford on Nikita - but I still look back at that outline and think, "Wow, that would have been a fantastic series." There have been other conspiracy shows and thrillers on TV since, but none ever got my heart racing like Traveler.
