There was a ***Green Hornet ***comic before the TV series came out? I always thought it was based on the old radio series. 
Batman, I think, didn’t even get to finish its third season. It got yanked sometime in February or March, mercifully.
Mostly non-annoying characters. 
Jack McBrayer (Kenneth) and Alec Baldwin, especially in the first two or three seasons, more than compensated. But yeah, I tuned out Tracy Morgan so much I had forgotten he was in the show…until I searched on my old posts and you reminded me! :mad:
Happy Endings was extremely funny (for the most part, though you could sort of sense they were running out of steam by the time it was canceled).
Pushing Daisies, as previously mentioned. This is one of the few shows that consistently bowled me over with the amount of sheer creativity involved. Definitely a victim of the writer’s strike!
Did no one say My So-Called Life? Only one season, but man, what a perfect encapsulation of being a high school student in the 90s. There were a couple of cheesy episodes but in general it was a fantastic show.
The John Larroquette Show.
Bakersfield PD.
Selfie (that one hurts because it was so good and so recent).
I have my own “This is a dark ride” sign I used to keep at work. 
Most of the shows I enjoyed didn’t make it but two I really miss are Best of the West and Hello, Larry. The former was actually pretty well written and produced but just the wrong kind of comedy for the times. The second was sort of a television version of the famous bad movie The Creeping Terror - everything that could go wrong did. It just seemed cursed from the beginning.
I just checked out Superstore (which is not yet canceled and has potential). The star in that reminded me of another recent one: A to Z. It was a romantic comedy with really charming stars (especially the woman who was played by the Mother on How I Met Your Mother). I liked it but it crashed and burned.
Remembered another one…Joan of Arcadia.
I saw Turn on. I remember talking about it the next day in school.
There were shows from the 60s that were really big to a schoolkid, and the theme song might have stayed around for years or decades in memories.
Branded was for me the heaviest. Chuck Connors, and that incredible theme with the visual of the breaking sword.
Everybody knows “It’s about time” right?
Batman was the biggest thing going, a mania. But it only lasted two seasons.
Captain Nice?
Coronet Blue?
The Guns of Will Sonnet: Walter Brennan as the patriarch with two sons and they were all the fastest gun in the west somehow.
Nope. The first son was fast. His brother was faster. But dad was faster than both of them. * “No brag, just fact!”*
And Batman was mercifully yanked in the middle of its third season.
That’s right. I recall the convolutions of fast faster fastest. It was too much for my young mind.
How could you say that about Batman? It holds up better than most, including the Twilight Zone I reckon. I think the intro and theme is one of the most exciting ever on a tv show, but I was impressionable then.
The first season of Batman was wonderfully. It got worse as it progressed.
Yeah, I remember it as being really awesome and thought-provoking.
Seems it had quite a bit of “success” (as in Emmy wins). Also, I remember Max Headroom’s bit was used in some commercials? And even in a talkshow?
Anyone have an idea WHY they cancelled it?
I also loved the '80s Twilight Zone. I don’t know that it qualifies, since it was actually a revival, but it was different both the way it was filmed and the kind of stories it featured.
Compared to the grand first half-season, it was by that time a pale imitation of what it had been. It wasn’t even on two nights a week anymore! 
IIRC, it was never high in the ratings because the average viewer didn’t understand it. For a time, they showed promos explaining the concept, but it didn’t help much.
I think Max started out doing commercials and then got his own series. I vaguely remember some kind of talk show along the lines of Space Ghost: Coast-to-Coast too.
I have to bow to the epicures of Batman. The theme was still the same though. That one and the Munsters really get my blood going even now, when they have the sound effects from the opening.
I remember that one. I also noticed that at least 3 of the main cast from that show ended up on “Mad Men.” “Bobby” became “Percy Jackson.”
Not sure if I’ve already mentioned it but I loved a show called “Flying Blind.” I was 18 at the time and wanted to be Tea Leoni’s character.
I still mourn the cancelation of Me & The Chimp. Those danged network apes always monkey around with the TV schedules and cancel my favorite shows!
