Looks like a certain somebody's favorite TV show got canceled. "Hannibal" went for three seasons -- and may still get picked up by another network for new episodes. But that short run doesn't compare to the scant seasons some of these fantastic shows from the '90s lasted. Together, let's remember the softer side of Sam Waterston in "I'll Fly Away"; or MTV's catchy "Idiot Savants"; or perhaps the brilliance of kids' show "The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo"; or that perfect comedy storm in "Newsradio"; or VH1's fast-disappearing act of "The List." Below are some of our favorite '90s TV shows, somewhat lost to the winds of time. What do you remember watching back then?...

Big bucks, expensive vowels, and a million cackling Whammies.
The Daytime Emmys are this Sunday, and for the first time ever, there’s a gay nominee for Best Game Show Host — the marvelous and frightfully funny Billy Eichner. Wahoo! To celebrate, let’s rank the 25 best game shows of all time. Get out your purse and prepare to buy some vowels, gents.
25. Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?: Sorry Double Dare, but Carmen Sandiego is the greatest kids’ game ever. It made geography cool while highlighting the glamorous felonies of a femme fatale. I wish more TV shows concluded with the entire cast yelling in unison, “Do it, Rockapella!”
24. Let’s Make a Deal: Carol Merrill and Monty Hall could woo you into anything. Though if you’re already wearing a chicken outfit, you probably don’t need much coercing.
23. Sale of the Century: Jim Perry...
