Arrested Development
Cracking Up (cancelled mid-season. Show was fucking hilarious)
Freaks and Geeks
Rome
Carnivale
Journeyman
As for Dead Like Me, if you're a fan of the show, avoid the movie. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's the worst movie I've ever seen. I suppose there is one benefit. After watching it, films you had previously only considered 'average' will seem better than ever. Dead Like Me: Life After Death.. It will lower your expectations.

It was intended to be a 5 series saga. There was talk of wrapping it up with a film, but the creator says he has too much material left and feels a movie wouldn't do it justice.
You've got to give Fox credit for how long they ran with Arrested Development. Given the numbers, it's surprising it made it past the first season. They stuck with it 'cause they thought it was something special. A movie is looking more and more likely with every passing week, though.
And if it wasn't for DirecTV, Friday Night Lights wouldn't have made it to a third season.
