Your Favorite Cancelled TV Shows

FROM: Matt
DATE: Wednesday March 28, 2001 -- 12:21:31AM

I agree with both shows mentioned. I actually was thinking of the Ben Stiller show yesterday.
I also would say the Edge, which was another sketch comedy show on Fox.
Nightstand with Dick Dietrick. It wasn't cancelled, but the contract was picked up by E and they just decided to syndicate the re-runs for two years. If comedy central had picked up the contract they said they would have made new episodes.
I also was a fan of the Dana Carvey show.

DATE: Wednesday March 28, 2001 -- 8:43:23AM

I loved the Ben Stiller show! (I called Janeane Garofalo "Tahini Falafalo" - even though she's one of my favorite comics) Other good ones: "Square Pegs", definitely "My So-Called Life", "News Radio" - it didn't get canned, exactly, but now it's gone...sniff!, and that "Out of Control" variety show that used to be on Nickelodeon way back in the late '80's. It starred Dave Coulier as the mc of sorts, who went on to act like a total fool on "Full House" with John Stamos and the evil Olsen twins....yuck. Does anyone remember "Out of Control"?

FROM: Robert
DATE: Wednesday March 28, 2001 -- 8:54:04AM

Some days I wish all TV shows were canceled.

FROM: Paul
DATE: Wednesday March 28, 2001 -- 8:56:10AM

Does anyone remember "Out of Control"?

Easily one of my favorite shows growing up. I actually have one ep on tape - I've dubbed it my 1984 tape, since that's when it's from. (surprise) The ep I've got is the one in which Dave, Diz, Waldo, Angela, and Hern (it was Hern, right?) have to pose as a rock band because someone is using their studio to make a video.

Nick Rocks!

FROM: Tina
DATE: Wednesday March 28, 2001 -- 9:02:09AM

Paul - can I get a copy of that tape??? My sister and I are still attempting to perfect our imitation of that "Diz noise" (eeeweee eeeeweee! - my pathetic attempt to recreate the sound using actual words) - I'm sure you know what I'm referring to here.

FROM: Rob
DATE: Wednesday March 28, 2001 -- 9:37:03AM

Only one I can think of at the moment is Homicide. I can't believe that that show got cancelled and "ripped from the headlines" drivel like Law & Order still thrives.

FROM: Tony
DATE: Wednesday March 28, 2001 -- 10:47:31AM

I think that "American High" was very realistic, and much better than RW, its a shame it got canceled after the first 2 episodes.

FROM: Ryan
DATE: Wednesday March 28, 2001 -- 11:46:50AM

I also remember Out of Control. "Cut... it... out!"

Magnificent Seven, good theme song, great looking cowboys, everything a chick show needs!

FROM: Matt
DATE: Wednesday March 28, 2001 -- 1:46:54PM

Haha, we were talking about out of control the other day at dinner.

What about Brooklyn Bridge? That show had all this critical acclaim, and they had even built a brand new set for it at Universal Studios and then it got canned.
I don't think the stae was ever cancelled. They just had a two year run.

FROM: Ryan
DATE: Wednesday March 28, 2001 -- 2:35:17PM

Matt -- Brooklyn Bridge is one of my all-time favorites. Such a well-written show and the acting was excellent. I have a few episodes on tape, I believe. In high school, I had a class called "American Minorities" and I brought in an episode of Brooklyn Bridge for the class to watch one day... everyone, teacher included, loved it.

I think there's a channel that still shows reruns of it...

FROM: Matt
DATE: Wednesday March 28, 2001 -- 4:00:55PM

Ryan,
Oddesy Channel showed Brooklyn Bridge, but Media General in Fairfax stopped carrying the channel before I could watch the reruns. That is also one of my favorite shows.

I miss The Chevy Chase Show.

Fezz--Did you hear Damon Wayans on Stern yesterday? Apparently, he was doing the Jehovah's Witness door-to-door thing when he was on In Living Color. I'm really sure people took his talk seriously.

FROM: Matt
DATE: Thursday March 29, 2001 -- 1:46:03PM

Fezz-
90210 ran its course, it was not cancelled.
Come to think of it the only show that was really cancelled out of that bunch was SBTB College years.
The others were on for multiple seasons and had basically depleted their fan bases

FROM: Ryan
DATE: Thursday March 29, 2001 -- 1:55:25PM

Robert -- I heard that. Damon was a surprisingly subdued guest. You could hardly even hear him.

FROM: Robert
DATE: Thursday March 29, 2001 -- 2:11:02PM

Ryan--That was probably because he was being pressed on a topic he was not prepared to discuss. I'm amazed he didn't do much to try to change the subject. Any other Wayans would have been a better showman at the drop of a hat.

True that not all those shows I listed were officially cancelled, but they certainly weren't renewed for further seasons and that to me is the same as cancelled.

FROM: Richard Branson
DATE: Monday April 2, 2001 -- 10:38:28PM

test your memories: "Remote Control" on MTV - it was sort of a game show. Mid 80's I think. Oh and "Family" with Kirsty McNicoll.

FROM: Ryan
DATE: Monday April 2, 2001 -- 11:23:24PM

I have an episode of Remote Control with L.L. Cool J and "Weird Al" Yankovic. LL was winning all the way until the final round when the subject was something like "The Beatles," and he had no clue. Al ran away with it and won the game.

FROM: Matt
DATE: Monday April 2, 2001 -- 11:43:48PM

Ryan and I enjoyed watching that episode together about a year and a half ago. We also watched some You Can't Do That On Televison episodes that he had on tape.

FROM: Matt
DATE: Tuesday April 3, 2001 -- 11:05:07AM

Tina that reminds me of this line of action movies I want to make. They would be based off of the "Death Wish" line of movies and star Charles Bronson Pinchot.

I'm pleased to report that an episode of Perfect Strangers was just on TV Land. I'm not pleased to report that it is the only airing for the next two weeks, and has been the only time shown since I got TiVo 2.0 many months ago.

It was a more than pleasant surprise! I even got the entire theme song - the original version. Wow.

FROM: Tina
DATE: Friday April 13, 2001 -- 10:16:09AM

Paul - speaking of sitcom theme songs, wouldn't it be nice if they had all those tv theme songs (and I'm not just talking about the Flintstones or Brady Bunch opening songs --- I'm talking really esoteric ones, like Perfect Strangers, or Small Wonder, perhaps!) on a kareoke machine in some dusty sushi bar? Dare to dream, huh?

FROM: Crissy
DATE: Wednesday May 2, 2001 -- 9:01:13PM

I can't quite remember names of the cast of Outta Control, but I loved that show! I loved "Afternoon Special" with Jodie and Muffy the mouse when I was a kid. I also loved You Can't Do That On Television. That is still my favorite show and anyone that has episodes, please email me at queenofdrums@yahoo.com

FROM: Rampeij
DATE: Sunday June 3, 2001 -- 3:44:05PM

SOF: Special Ops Force was one of my favorites. Good cast. great action and incredible storyline about Black Ops. Sorry to see it go, but I guess that what happens when you get a crappy time slot.

FROM: Ryan
DATE: Sunday June 3, 2001 -- 5:59:15PM

It really is all about the time slot. Freaks and Geeks was a great example of that... the best show in the last decade was doomed to failure from the beginning because it was debuted on Saturday night prime time.

FROM: Lex

Just happened to stumble across this site and noticed your question.
Cousin Larry was played by Mark Linn-Baker who also had a few minor roles in the movies around the same time.

FROM: Matt #2
DATE: Wednesday July 25, 2001 -- 1:07:26AM

Reason News Radio was cancelled was because of Phil Hartman getting killed, correct? And, folks, it all comes back to The A-Team

FROM: Marcus
DATE: Wednesday July 25, 2001 -- 2:19:57AM

There was a series shown for a brief period, one of the few that I watched regularly after adolescence; I believe the name of it was Nightmare Cafe It was put on like a Wednesday night (if I remember correctly, this is years ago) up against one of the bigger shows out there (something like Seinfeld or something, it was like right after it first came out though) that "EVERYONE" watched at that time.

It featured the direct of Nightmare on Elmstreet as well as starred Robert England (who played Freddy Krueger in Nightmare on ElmstreetM, but played the cafe owner in this case). Show did modestly well it's first 2-3 weeks so the channel it was on (I believe ABC) moved the show from it's timeslot to another slot, and irony... ::kerplunk:: sank like a rock after another 3-4 weeks and was cancelled.

It was kinda' like a modern era The Twilight Zone series if you will, although... the basic idea was there was this cafe, and the people that ran it were people that actually had died but were returned to Earth, given a second chance (although, to assist helping others caught in dire straits). Very far-fetched now that I think about it, but then again... so was The Twilight Zone.

For something merely tossed into a timeslot with very little ad. time (considering the director involved, that surprised me), and with as good a special effects as it had; I'm still amazed the show didn't do better as it wasn't your average TV series (kinda' had a bit of that X-Files feel with the way it was presented). Then again, they probably spent most of their budget on special effects, and Robert England, and didn't have any $ left for ads. ;)

Que sera, only series I really was interested in.

FROM: AngeFatoh
DATE: Wednesday August 15, 2001 -- 3:46:44PM

Why isn't Ned and Stacey still on?
Thomas Haden Church was smart, funny and sexy man. He could have gone far with the show, but FOX had to cancel it! That show was awesome! I loved Ned and Amanda's friendship and dry wit.
If N&S wasn't canceled, it would still be on today.

FROM: Ryan

FROM: rachel
DATE: Thursday September 6, 2001 -- 1:36:06PM

Does anyone remember that show that was a half hour long and was sorta like MSTK 3000? I think it was on NIckelodeon for a few weeks. They showed old old movies and dubbed in new voices with a bizarre plot. It was so funny! And I can't remember the name! I think it was like Mad Television or something. Does ANYBODY know?

I'm not sure if it was the same show, but I remember SOMEthing like that. The only thing I can remember, though, is one episode where they kept having everyone ask, "Are those your real eyes?" Funny show, though. Man, that was a long time ago... Of course, this could be an entirely different show I'm thinking of. But anyhow...

FROM: Scott
DATE: Thursday September 6, 2001 -- 2:24:02PM

I know I am way late to be discussing "Remote Control" but one of my High School English Teacher's wife was the producer--I grew up on Long Island and went to New Hyde Park Memorial (in New Hyde Park of course). The audiences for first episodes of Remote Control were actually composed of kids from my high school, as were the audiences for lots of other MTV pilot's. I was never invited :(

FROM: Adam
DATE: Thursday September 13, 2001 -- 6:48:36AM

I definitely agree with Mystery Science Theater 3000 - one of my all-time favorites! Let me throw out another one: AMERICAN GOTHIC. It starred Gary Coles (I think), the dad from the Brady Bunch movies. He was some kind of evil demon, never really told you for sure, but as a small town sheriff he kept the town running smoothly. It only lasted one season, but it was probably the best show I've ever seen on TV. It was one of those shows where you cheered for the bad guy (him).

FROM: Chris Shaver
DATE: Saturday September 22, 2001 -- 12:15:13AM

In the late 80's on ABC there was a short lived sitcom that I remember as one of the funniest I had ever seen. Mr. Sunshine. It was about a blind college professor. I can't remember who played Mr. Sunshine but he had a beard I believe. And while I can't remember any of the jokes, gags or scenerios, I can tell you that it is to date the only show that has ever made me laugh so hard I threw up. While watching the very first episode, I was eating some sort of Chef Boyardee canned meal, and I literally laughed so hard I had to run to the bathroom to vomit. I must have been the only person that it had that effect on because the show didn't last beyond its first season and may not have lasted that long.

FROM: Robert
DATE: Saturday September 22, 2001 -- 12:24:53AM

Chris: I remember Mr Sunshine as well. There was one episode where he had to fill in the lead role in some play because he was the only person who would read the lines (in Braile) while acting. Plus, he had that neighbor who hated him but he didn't know.

Homicide was indeed brilliant...until they got new writers for the final two seasons and got rid of all the actors who were not beautiful. I went to the bldg where it was filmed in Baltimore and had my picture taken beside the bright blue pillars...it was a very emotional moment. It is still on Court TV but I don't know what time. Once in a while TV Guide does a story called "The Best Shows You're Not Watching" and that was definitely an appropriate article for HLOTS.

Anyone remember that show "Get A Life"? It featured Chris Elliott, who at that time was best known for a bunch of weirdo characters he would do periodically on the old David Letterman show. Come to think of it, it's probably what he still is best known for. I don't remember much, except he plays this loser in his late 20's or early 30's who delivers newspapers on a bicycle and lives with his pops. Pretty good stuff.

I totally agree with the Idiot Box. Eddy the flying gimp was freakin' hilarious. I used to do a pretty mean impression. Anybody remember another sketch comedy show on about the time as The State and Exit 57? It had this skit w/a guy (as a little boy in a hat w/a ribbon) who was "bored" and talking to himself and his dad who was out of camera in another room. Finally, he says, in a sort of bratty british accent, "I know what I want, I know what I want!...I want a Pony!" Ring any bells out there??

I really miss homicide life on the street...It was pure genius(as far as television goes anyway)...and I wish CBS had given Falcone a fair shake...they were so stupid running all eight of the first episodes on eight consecutive nights...It was a series not a mini-series...and a decent one too...UPN had a show called the untouchables that was really good an update of the old series from the 50's that is to say it was in color with excellent production values...at any rate it seems like right when I get into a show it gets cancelled...and back in the early days of FOX before it was on seven days a week fox had some of the best shows on television...wolf was really good back way back before the x-files...the tracy ullman show was brilliant...and there are too many others to mention and I better shut up since I'm rambling and this is starting to turn into a rant...see what happens when I'm not locked into the restraints of chats and IMs? I guess I should just be happy I managed to tape(remember vhs?...or how about beta?)several episodes of homicide before it was cancelled...but the question remains...when will I ever learn to just schedule the vcr and tape everything i like?

-Cupid (came right after Fantasy Island, had Jeremy Piven and the girl who was the adult film star/girlfriend in Sports Night)
-Early Edition(only caught it late at nite sunday nites on cbs, maybe its still on then? i dunno)

Profit was one of my favorite shows that got canned too soon. There are several episodes that never aired in the States.

I liked Booker, too. Remember him ? 21 Jump Street spin-off, punk-rock detective. They showed those in Holland when I was there, even had a Booker CD of songs played on the show.

My So-Called Life was one of the best shows to be cancelled. It didn't stand a chance up against NYPD Blue. The last episode kind of left you guessing. In a way that's good because you can decide for yourself, and draw your own conclusions about who she picked. Just don't understand how a show that made you feel like you were participating not just watching could be cancelled like that. ABC isnt cool.

To add something from this season: Reunion on FOX. Sure, the acting wasn't always the greatest, but the story line was intriguing enough where I wanted to keep watching. Unfortunetly, getting bumped for a month (World Series) right after debuting killed any shot it had of surviving.

I still have the last episode saved to my TiVo, just in case they bring it back. Just in case!......*sigh*

DATE: Sunday April 9, 2006 -- 12:44:22 am

Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared are my obvious picks

Wonderfalls, which aired four episodes on FOX a couple of years ago, was fantastic, and now all thirteen episodes that were produced are now available on DVD, and they are well worth picking up.

Also, somebody earlier mentioned the ambiguous ending of My-So Called Life, which I agree was a good thing. I personally hope that she picked Brian, because even though Jordan was a good looking dude, he was also a total idiot. I think she would have dated Jordan for a little while longer, but eventually realized that Brian is the man for her.

there was a show in the 90's..sometimes between 97 and 99..maybe even 2000
i only remember seeing maybe 3 episodes aired before it was either cancelled or changed to another time, which i wasnt aware of.. i believe it was on fox, but i may be wrong.
it was about a haunted hospital. the doctor who worked there was also born there, and now has some strange connection to the hospital. there was a black nurse who had assisted in his delivery and basically raised him.. his father was also a doctor in the same hospital. alot of strange things happen in the hospital.. there was also a conspiracy storyline they had where one of the head doctors of the hospital was secretly experimenting on patients in the basement..i think it was some sort of stem cell research plotline.
i could have sworn the show was The Kingdom, but i just rented the dvd of that, and its a different show. and this was way before Kingdom Hospital as well. the few episodes i saw were excellent, and i would love to see more..
anyone know it?

Can't remember many details but I remember one was rich and opened a shop called "life's little mysteries" because so many people don't have time to research but often wonder about things. I don't remember it being that strong a show but would love to get the name if anyone can remember it. Probably aired in the 90's.
