Anybody notice a disturbing trend as far as networks that canceled these shows? 7 out of the 10(well 11) are ABC or FOX. Maybe they shouldn't be so quick to cut the cord next time. At least FOX has learned there lesson regarding Family Guy and are bringing it back.

 

I don't agree with putting Newsradio on the list though. It was on the longest of anything on that list. I'd also move Sports Night lower on the count down, and also add Denis Leary's short lived cop comedy The Job on the list as well, and Guess what network that show was on? ABC.

I agree with "Family Guy", "Undeclared" and "Sports night", the rest sucked.  Why the hell is the tick on this list?

The Tick was destined to fail as live action, but was great and really funny as a saturday morning cartoon and in its original form as an indie comic book. I think they had to do it because casting Putty as the Tick was perfect even if the show sucked arse.

 

I was upset when they cancelled The Critic, but I concede it lost a little in the end compared to the first season.

8. Die Hard in the supermarket? lol

 

5. Phil Hartman's wife should have been slaughtered Minority Report-style before she had a chance. What a b****.

 

4. It's no Simpsons, but FOX made a HUGE mistake. Greedy POS had to lay in the ratings bed they made back in 2001.

 

2. Only seen a few eps, but I like it. A smart show with a heart? Real expensive royalty rock-n-roll soundtrack? Yep, that's the ticket.

 

1. Where do I go-o now? My car has broooken dooown.....
