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

Did anyone mention Automan yet?

Another personal favorite was the Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show (1974)

dang...now I'm starting to feel old

I loved Automan.

Was that some kind of try to get Tron into primetime?

Crusade. That show was mangled worse than Firefly. Watch the DVDs, and you get a sense of what a good show it could have been.

Yeah, TNT ruined that one, even worse than Firefly, they took a great show and went out of their way to flush it. Read some commentary from JMS on just what they did to shut it down, TNT really was going out of their way to kill it.

Clerks: The Animated Series was doomed since you really couldn't get that type of humor on broadcast TV without losing way too much (Jay & Silent Bob as illegal fireworks dealers instead of dope dealers?!?). As Kevin Smith said in the commentary on the DVD, it would have been a lot better to go to Cinemax or another premium cable channel instead of taking the lucrative offer from ABC who wanted a movie spinoff show so they bought the rights without even watching the source material (and realized later that much of Clerks could never be turned into a broadcast TV show, the movie was originally rated NC-17 but it was argued down to R).

Andy Richter Controls the Universe - Damn, this show was funny. There were parts that still make me laugh when I think of them.

Firefly - This show was pretty cool while it lasted.

The Chronicle

Ooo. I forgot about that one. Damn cool show. It was different, funny and actually started to get a consistant plot by of the end of the first and last season.
