There was a second season, but it only consisted of four episodes. ''Con Carne'' characters were rolled into the ''Billy and Mandy'' universe over time.

* ''WesternAnimation/FreakShow''

* ''WesternAnimation/MaryKateAndAshleyInAction''
* ''WesternAnimation/MaryokuYummy''
* ''WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears'' - Despite high ratings, it was canceled after the second season largely due to poor toy sales. 27 episodes in all.
* ''WesternAnimation/MegaManFullyCharged'' - A poor time slot and being left to die by Cartoon Network meant 52 episodes was all we got.
* ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'' - Another high ratings show and managed to gain two seasons, but cancelled due to a CEO change at Cartoon Network who didn't "get it" (though the showrunners at least kept the ending open-ended).

* ''WesternAnimation/MinaAndTheCount'' - Technically, it was a series of shorts that aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork's ''WesternAnimation/WhatACartoonShow'' and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' rather than its own series proper.

* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens2013''
* ''WesternAnimation/MoonbeamCity''

* ''WesternAnimation/NapoleonDynamite''

* ''WesternAnimation/SoulQuestOverdrive''
* ''WesternAnimation/SpacedOut''

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' - Two full seasons, but one of the few cases where it wasn't cancelled because of low ratings or executive decision (heck, if anything fans loved the show and it was critically acclaimed to boot), but rather rights issues. At the time, Disney had bought up Marvel and began the Marvel Cinematic Universe, taking up the copyrights of superheroes. Spider-Man was still in Sony's hands, however, and they refused to give up the film rights, but agreed to give away the TV rights instead. This unfortunately meant ''Spectacular Spider-Man'' had to be cancelled since, if Disney wanted to continue it, they would have to ''pay'' Sony to keep doing so since the cartoon was made in-house at Sony and technically their property. Naturally, Disney refused on that front much to the dismay of fans. If that wasn't bad enough, the series ended on a major DownerEnding which was meant to lead into the third season.
