Was it really there "Tru Calling" to Cancel this wonderful show?
I adore this show. I actually only found out about it from my "Dead Like Me" DVD, it was featured on it. Funny how both the shows got cancelled. Also, a huge shame.
This show has made me laugh, cry and feel amazing. I just couldn't get enough of it.

More Information
Tru Calling is an American television program, filmed in Vancouver, Canada, which premiered on the Fox Network in October 2003. It ran for two seasons of 26 episodes in total, before being cancelled.
The show's cancellation was officially announced at a press conference in January 2005, but Gail Berman, then president of Fox, insisted the network intended to broadcast the remaining six episodes filmed for the show's second season. Season two of Tru Calling first aired in New Zealand on TV3 beginning February 4, 2005, with the final episode shown on March 11, 2005, in Croatia, the following March/April; and, after nearly a year-long hiatus, in the U.S. beginning March 31 2005. In the United Kingdom, the second season began October 12, 2006 on Sky.
The complete series also aired in Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Pakistan, India, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, Portugal, Singapore, and Slovakia. DVDs of both seasons have been released in the United States and the United Kingdom. The final episode filmed was never originally broadcast in the U.S. until it was shown on the SCI FI Channel January 21st 2008 as a part of their Tru Calling Marathon.
The lead character, Tru Davies, (Eliza Dushku), is a young woman working the night shift at the City Morgue. Occasionally, the corpse of a newly dead person appears to awaken and utter the words "Help me" to her. As they do, Tru wakens with a start, at the beginning of the same day, finding herself compelled to stop the death, which may be the result of anything from suicide to murder. In the course of the re-run day, Tru often takes the opportunity to rectify various personal situations involving family and friends.
Supporting characters in the series include: Harrison Davies (Shawn Reaves), Tru's irresponsible younger brother (who becomes a loyal asset to Tru by the end of the first season), and Davis (Zach Galifianakis), her friend, confidante, and supervisor at the Morgue. As the series progresses, it is revealed that, several years earlier, Davis had a fateful encounter with Tru's mother (who was, apparently, the last person to receive the "calling" before her daughter).
Supporting characters surviving only a portion of the series included: Meredith Davies (Jessica Collins), Tru's older sister; Lindsay Walker (A. J. Cook), her best friend in the first season; Luc Johnston (Matthew Bomer), her love interest in the first season, and Gardez (Benjamin Benitez), her former co-worker at the morgue.
Jack Harper (Jason Priestley), a counterpart to Tru's character, is introduced midseason as a foil. He is there to make sure fate gets its way, and introduces a philosophical aspect to Tru's endeavors: should she be saving the lives of people who may have been intended to die? In the second season, Tru and Jack compete to get to a person first â she to save them, and he to restore the order of fate, and maintain the balance of the universe as he understands it.
