Brilliant but Cancelled

[Guest DragonflyKid]

Nowhere Man, I think it was one of the first shows on UPN and was great until the fuckers cancelled it. If you like John Doe on FOX you would have also liked Nowhere Man.

[Guest El Satanico]

What about the UPN sitcom about slaves.

 

I don't know about brilliant, but it was an odd idea.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

The tick cartoon was one of the greatest things ever, and should still be on today. I only liked the Norm show cos it was lame, but he once said 'You dirty son of a bastard%' and i still say that to this day.

[Guest Lethargic]

Just noticed that the Brilliant but Cancelled stuff is also going to show that TV Funhouse puppet thing. It's not even listed on their site but it's suppose to be on tonight. I don't know if they're showing it again or not though.

[Guest Kagato Otaku]

Ugh, I wonder if there'll be any backlash over this one.

Sifl - and - Olly!

Sifl and Olly Show! Everybody!

Sifl - and - Olly!

Sifl and Olly Show! ROCK!!

Sifl - and - Olly!

Sifl and Olly Show!!!!

 

I'd go thru the whole song, but one or two of you might still have my address from my tape trading days. And I'd very much like to remain among the living.

 

That being said, stuffed socks will ALWAYS have a place on television.

[Guest Vyce]

Speaking of great shows, TV's Funhouse was fantastic. I wish they'd pony up some new episodes.

[Guest Hogan Made Wrestling]

Murder One wins this easily. The first season was probably the best single season of any drama show ever. It also had the best cast ever assembled for a dramatic series. The second season, which most saw as a lame duck, was not quite as good but still better than 99% of the stuff on TV. A&E has the rights to this and re-run it a couple of times a year, they should run it permanently now that L&O is gone.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Sifl & Olly ROCKED~!

 

I need to order me some of those "night vision goggles"

Kolchak: The Night Stalker

 

Night Gallery

 

Max Headroom

 

Star Trek (Bet someone at NBC got fired over this...)

 

Mystery Science Theater 3000

 

M.A.N.T.I.S

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

The guy that canceled Star Trek probably got a raise, and then fired five years later. The network was never big on the series to start with and they purposefully gave it a lousy timeslot in the third season to kill it off, not that ratings were ever that great. But somehow, it made it's way into syndication and took off from there.

 

There are tons of shows that fought its way onto the air and then got killed, because some executive somewhere just didn't like it. The Job is a recent example.

 

Max Headroom is currently shown on tech t.v. and Kolchak occasionally finds its way onto the Sci-fi channel.

[Guest DARRYLXWF]

How about 'The Prisoner'?

[Guest Karnage]

There was this sketch comedy show on The Comedy Network/The WB a few years ago called "Hype" and well...it was better than MadTV and present day SNL.

[Guest El Satanico]

When did Trio turn into a channel worth watching?

 

I found reruns of the show "Action" tonight. I liked that show when it was on Fox for a short time.

[Guest Lethargic]

I found reruns of the show "Action" tonight. I liked that show when it was on Fox for a short time.

My question is when did Trio even become a network. I never heard of it until now.

 

The marthon of all 13 Action episodes is tomorrow night.

 

Kolchak plays all next week I believe.

The Critic (did this get cancelled or what happend)

Family Guy

MTV's Odysee (sp?, remember this, with mature cartoons like the MAX or something.. I loved this)

[Guest kingkamala]

The Critic lasted 1 1/2 seasons I believe. They lasted a full season on ABC before getting canceled by them and then Fox picked up and then dropped it after a half a season. Then the internet site shockwave.com picked up the show about a year and a half maybe two years ago and made about 10 mini episodes of the show that featured Jay and his new assistant(Can't remember her name) but none of the other original characters.

[Guest red_file]

My favorite part of Action was at the end of the first episode where Jay Mohr's character is interviewing this guy for a position at his production company and he says something like, "You're highly qualified, you have experience, and anyone would be a fool not to hire you, but I think I'm gonna go with this whore," as Ilana Douglas's character walks into the room. I really wish that show hadn't been cancelled.

[Paul Stanley 0]

That 80s Show..

 

Yeah, you heard me.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

I wish I didn't

I’m pretty sure that you're talking about MTV's Oddities. It presented shows like "The Maxx" and "The Head" about some guy with a freakishly large head and the alien that lived inside it. Oh the zany adventures those two guys shared together! Sigh.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Was Aeon Flux......or something like that also part of Mtv Oddities?

 

I marked out when someone mentioned "Get a Life" I loved that show.

[Guest red_file]

IIRC, Aeon Flux started as a series of shorts on Liquid Television, and then was later expanded into a short-lived series. I'm pretty sure The Head and The Maxx were the only shows under the Oddities banner.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Look on the Bright Side. At least the shows your talking about never jumped the dreaded shark which would of happened if they would of stayed on the air.

 

Dana Carvey

Police Squad

The beloved Critic sorta jumped the shark during it's shockwave.com period. It was still funny but not as funny as the 1 1/2 seasons it had on TV and most of the time they spent was making fun of ABC, Fox and Comedy Central.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

How about 'The Prisoner'?

The problem with that show is that you need to see every episode to get it. So there was no way to build up a niche.

[Guest monkey]

I know it went two seasons but does nobody else miss Good v. Evil, I just love that show.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

the maxx is great. The comic artist (Sam Keith?) is damn good too.
