Daria had 5 seasons and a finale, it ended well too.
Umm..+1 for Dark Water, Mysteries Inc, Samurai Jack, Mission Hill and Invader Zim though. Those were all cut before their time and had overarching stories left unfinished.
I'm also sad no one has mentioned The Oblongs yet.
I have the entire series on dvd and still watch it/love it from time to time.

Loved the oblongs. And most recently Neighbors from Hell with Will Sasso. Canned after half a season I think.

Sir!
The 2002 Masters of the Universe reboot was going places before it got canned.
Capitol Critters, maybe?
Fish Police and Capt. Simian & the Space Monkeys are a couple of other obscure ones that were really good. I see Project GeeKeR was already mentioned, good, good. Family Dog was decent but never really lived up to the amazing original short it spun off from. Disney's Raw Toonage was pretty inspired and the short-form cartoons that started there were much better than the eventual half-hour shows they spun off into (Bonkers, Marsupilami, Shnookums and Meat).
I remember the Earthworm Jim cartoon being surprisingly well written, too.

Reboot
Sym-Biotic Titan
Transformers: Beast Wars
Korgoth (one episode is just a dicktease)
and finally...
Only a few episodes appeared in the US, and it was on at 6 am on some obscure channel in MD when I was 11 (channel 54, I think). Suddenly stopped airing, and I was left with a hole in my heart for the rest of my life.

I have an online friend who was really heavy into Project GeeKeR. Only watched a couple of episodes, but yeah, was pretty good.
Zeta Project was also really good, and I was disappointed that it never got to any meaningful conclusion.
And Amazing Screw-On Head totally should've been a full-out series...

Had no idea this existed. I don't know how to feel after having watched it though.

It's a shame because the show had great potential and many of the episodes were fantastic.

Ain't nobody gone use mediocre to describe Swat Motherfucking Kats and live to tell the story, son.
THANK YOU THIS IS GORGEOUS!

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
What? No they didn't (in terms of a TV show). It finished on a cliffhanger. It finished off in a comic or something.
Its a little recent but: Generator Rex.
And I honestly was a bit sad when they cancelled this (although I think I'm in a very small minority):

I have always enjoyed late 90's MTV's animation block. Some good ones came out in the early 2000's like Downtown and Clone High as well.

Mystery Inc. was the best Scooby Doo product, even better than the original. Really sad to see it go.
Symbionic Titan being canceled really hurt. That show was great.
The Amazing Screw-on Head. It was a Mignola designed cartoon so that's why it looks like Hellboy.
Here's the full pilot.
came to post this. GIMME MY ENDING

Since everybody has already said all the obvious choices I'll go with this:
Godzilla the Series.
Could've made us forget about the 98' movie.
I'd love for a reboot with modern animation.

This aired early Sunday mornings on a Seattle channel (KTZZ Channel 22/Cable 10) when I was a kid. I loved it, but then it just stopped airing.

Since most of the good ones have been mentioned, I'm going to give a shout out to another doomed Adult Swim pilot...
Welcome to Eltingville. Thought it captured the flavor of silly nerd drama perfectly and would have loved to see it play out. Sadly, if cult-favorite Korgoth hasn't been signed on yet, that I doubt this even has a snowball's chance. Oh well.

Yeah, I liked it even more than Zombie Island & Witch's Ghost which were great.
Really good art, plot and characterization.
Besides the ones mentioned here ...
I loved that show =(
Also, special mention for X-Men Evolution ... just because of that fucking teaser of what could have been =/
Also, not sure if it counts, but The New Batman Adventures, the "sequel" to Batman Animated series with a more simplified look was AWESOME !
Had only 25 episodes and they were some of my favorites from the series like Over the Edge and Mad Love
Some would say that the SNES game was a Rock and Roll Racing clone that might have better gameplay than Rock and Roll Racing

WHEN will I find out what happened at the end of Spider-Man Unlimited? WHEN?!?
They should try it and Questworld again, now that technology is up to par. Especially Questworld because TRON is apprently canceled.
They completely switched production teams between the two seasons but it was still awesome.

Also, Disney Might Ducks was awesome
And I know it had 65 episodes and all ... but I could survive with a little bit more Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers xD
edit :
I have a friend who is CRAZY about this show !
He plays the mega drive game religiously every month or something like that

This! Let me throw this into the mix too.
Hanna Barbera really tried hard during the 80's and 90's. So many good shows didn't last long at all. Swat Kats even had several episodes ready for production before it got the axe.
Wasn't Hanna-Barbera behind Pirates of Dark Water? I really, really liked that show growing up. I remember reading that it was super expensive to produce, which helped in the cancellation.
Reminds me, the Men in Black cartoon was surprisingly great. Love that opening.Since everybody has already said all the obvious choices I'll go with this:
Godzilla the Series.

Even this died too?
......sooo I wonder how young justice is doing after that insane time off.

He-Man 2002 was fantastic, I loved it. I'm going to add:
It had great animation, also pretty edgy for it's time
