Another show that comes to mind is Life's Too Short, a Gervais/Merchant mockumentary with Warrick Davis playing a fictionalized version of himself. It didn't get good ratings but I found it absolutely hilarious and close to the quality of The Office and Extras. It deserved at least a 2nd season.
Speaking of British shows, it is tough to include them on this list because a lot of great shows only lasted a few seasons by design. It would have been awesome to see additional seasons of Faulty Towers, Black Adder, or the Office but I would argue these lasted exactly as long as they should have. Comparing to American shows with massive writing crews that are designed to be on the air as long as possible it is more disappointing when these are axed early as the stories and character development has not yet played out.
