Subject: Best Show That FOX has cancelled?

Written By: Ansky1213 on 06/15/04 at 9:23 am

FOX, as most of us know, has a (well deserved) reputation for mishandling and pulling the plug on great, brilliant shows. Although it looks like they finally got it right by saving the critical darling but little-watched "Arrested Development" (my favorite current show, BTW), I think it's time to look back on shows that critics loved and had cult followings, but died before their time.
On a side note: While Family Guy is coming back next spring, it was cancelled once, and therefore remains on the list. 

Personally, I love Family Guy, Futurama, Andy Richter, and Undeclared. Action wasn't half bad either. I was never a fan of the last three; I never even watched Firefly. Out of all of these, I'm going to have to go with Andy Richter. At least Futurama and Family Guy had 50+ episodes each. Poor Andy only had a handful. Same goes for Undeclared, which is from the same producer who brought us "Freeks and Geeks," as well as "The Ben Stiller Show," two shows that also died before their time was due.

My favorite "Herman's Head" wasn't on the list :(


ha! I thought the same thing... there's a lot of cool stuff Fox cancelled not on that list, but it looks like it focuses on just recent stuff...

FOX never had a good show.

I am just talking about recent stuff here. If I were doing older stuff too, I'd have to add Herman's Head, The Ben Stiller Show, and a few more.

That is a great show.

One of my favorites as well. :)

FAMILY GUY

There's a lot of Fox shows I'm actually GLAD are gone, especially The Tick!

Glad Family Guy is coming back, and I'd also like to see Ben Stiller get another show, on any network, 'coz I think he's very talented. 

I also want John Stewart to get his own "Conan O'Brien" type late night show.  John Stewart is the funniest guy on TV!

Wonderfalls was really good.

As for 90210 and Melrose Place, this poll is about shows that neer really got a fair chance. Each of those two shows had a good run.
