IMHO:
Strange Luck
John Doe
Firefly
The Inside

Family Guy

 

[Mark CMG]

I think Roar fits that description, considering the success of both Hercules and Xena.

 

[Wombat]

The Tick (live-action version)

The animated series had a decent run, but the live version had 9 whole episodes, only 8 showed, the show was pre-empted twice, and had a change in time slot partway through its run -- talk about going out of your way to kill a show!

*sniffle* Clone High, USA.

 

[Pielorinho]

Wonderfalls--cancelled after four freakin' episodes! But you can get the DVDs and watch a 12-episode story-arc that's pretty satisfying; just pretend it was intended to be a miniseries all along.

Wizards and Warriors

I meant to add that one myself!

 

[Villano]

The Adventures Of Brisco County, Jr.

The Flash. Pre-empted for sports and the first Gulf War and then bounced around the schedule.

Nero Wolfe Mysteries. It actually ran for two seasons, but the reason I'm including it is because of the reason why it was cancelled. A&E decided to "change the direction" of the network. This meant that NWM got cancelled even though it had good ratings so they could run more episodes of The View. :\

I forgot about that one. Good show.
