Everyone, add to this list of FOX shows cancelled too early...these are only the ones I can remember.

* Firefly
* John Doe
* Futurams

* Andy Richter Controls The Universe
* Arrested Development (we know it's coming)
* Wonderfalls
* Get A Life!
* The Tick
* The Ben Stiller Show
* Undeclared
* Dark Angel
* Keen Eddie
* Pasadena (OK, it was a soap opera, but the only one I've ever found interesting...introduced me to the great Alison Lohman)
* NEXT (the comedy sketch show by Bob Odenkirk that never even aired)
* Cracking Up (Not sure about this show, but it needed more than 4 or 5 episodes...it's better than Bernie Mac)



Just as an aside, "Futurama" did get to run for a few years. "Andy Richter..." was a great show.

They can have my "Firefly" DVDs when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers....

Oh yeah, you, FOX TV!!

I saw several others cancelled by Fox that I'd never heard of so have no idea how much of a chance they had or if they were any good.

"That's not much."
"It's enough." Malcolm Reynolds and Simon Tam - Serenity



My only disagreement with this list was "Skin". IMHO, it was more stylized night-time soap rubbish, deservedly tossed into the celluloid incinerator .

I think it was Dead Last or something?

A Google search for 'television "rock band" ghosts' reveals that it really was called Dead Last. No clue why that sounds entirely wrong to me. I watched it a couple times. Not that great, but I thought it showed some promise.

First off, gotta say something about Brisco County, Jr. Bruce Campbell is DA MAN!

Another cancelled show that I actually really liked (I may be alone in this) was the X-Files spinoff, The Lone Gunmen. I had always loved thos guys and was so mad when they were killed at the end of the X-Files.

Wasn't Freaks and Geeks on Fox? That was a good show.

Hey Maugwai! Freaks and Geeks was on NBC during the 1999-2000 season.

Freaks & Geeks was on NBC but I think they showed it on fox family. It's out on DVD now, and it's an awesome set!
