Five TV Shows That Didn’t Get the Chance They Deserved
« on: January 05, 2012, 01:03:17 PM »
Over the years I’ve had the misfortune of falling head over heels for a new TV show only to see brilliant network executives cancel it before an audience could appear.

The author names the five, gives a brief synopsis, and totally misses the all-time best one.  Poor deprived schmuck.

Read the comments, too; at least the first 6-7.

Of course that was my first thought when I saw the article title. I guess we here at IAL are just a little more tuned in ;-)

We picked up Firefly and Serenity on DVD last week, and we're through the first 4 episodes. Darn good show.

The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I hardly remember any of the "top 5" show listed. Maybe a sign of failure?

A couple of other shows that met an early demise were 'Better Off Ted'' and 'V'. But that's just me. ::saywhat::
