What shows got canceled before they had a chance....

Time Trax wasn't on UPN, it was an early 90's offering predating UPN by a few years. It was part of the "Prime Time Entertainment Network" syndication block that most notably was the distributor for Babylon 5.

Yeah, I recall the show well, it was kinda cool.

As for UPN killing off shows that aren't targeted directly at the "urban" audience, that's what I've heard for why Enterprise was axed. Three seasons of mediocre rubbish, then a good season and it got cancelled right then. UPN is trying to be a broadcast version of BET.

Though, just to clera something up, Enterprise wasn't axed by UPN, it was SABOTAGED by UPN. They didnt purchase commercial time in the proper markets to advertise the show. Combined with the bad job that B&B were doing to begin with, got it axed at the highest levels of Paramount itself.

Freakylinks

I was just getting around to reading this thread and was thinking 'Dang, why hasn't anyone mentioned Freakylinks?" I liked that silly little show and the website was a fun companion to it. In fact after the show got hacked they had a sort of mini-plot wind up going on the site that explained (sort of) what happened to the main character. It could have been a fun light weight X-Files if Fox had backed it, which, of course they didn't...scum.

Pirates of Dark Water was great.

Gargoyles(sp) was another show that I thought got canceled to early.

I liked Gargoyles. The early episodes were especially good. As the series got more popular, I got the slight impression they were "beefing" up the firepower (more use of guns) to sell toys. Maybe it was just me; I was probably 15/16 at the time (I'm 24, almost 25, now).
