The ones I miss:
Drak Pack: Had only about 1 1/2 seasons before being canceled. More villians besides Dr. Dred and O.G.R.E. could have been introduced. That could have saved the show.
Mighty Orbots: We have the Tonka toy company to blame for this one getting only one season. I wonder who suggested suing for copying The Gobots (which there is no way Mighty Orbots could have been a copy of the Gobots).
Pirates of Dark Water: I agree on this one. I think the quest for the Treasures of Rule was still going on when this was taken off.
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors: At least an ending was planned for this one.
From the Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors entry at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayce_and_the_Wheeled_Warriors
"Due to less than successful toy sales, Jayce's 65 episode run was not followed up, and it ended unresolved. However, according to series producer J. Michael Straczynski, a movie had also been commissioned along with the series, following in the footsteps of other toy based animated series such as Transformers and GI Joe; if the series had proven successful in toy sales, production would have began. Straczynski wrote the script, but due to the failure of the toyline, preparation for the movie was shelved.
Had the movie been filmed, it would have provided a sense of closure on Jayce, with his Lightning League meeting with the originals and being trained on the home world of the Guardians, he would be reunited with his father Audric, but according to Straczynski, Audric would have been killed by Saw Boss as the Monster Minds began a final assault on the galaxy, and in a final battle, Jayce would unite the root and kill Saw Boss, ending the Monster Mind threat forever."
