We've all had tv shows that we've loved that have been yanked off the air for no good reason. What shows would you put on your "Brilliant, But Cancelled" List?
I would include That 80s Show, Freaks and Geeks, and That Was Then on my list.
"Everwood" and "Northern Exposure", and hopefully seasons two, three and four of "Everwood" will be out on DVD soon, once all music clearances are secured.
As for "Swingtown", I think CBS is just burning off the year-old 13 episodes to recoup some of its original costs. There was never any intention to renew it beyond these episodes after no other network would touch it. Have you noticed that very few advertisers sponsor the show, other than companies hawking music of the 70s CDs, public service announcements or network promos. That spells sure death for any show.
I agree, the ratings seem to be going down, and the storyline is suffering a little bit. I have noticed my DVR isn't set to schedule this weeks show...just a glitch in the program, or do you think it won't be aired?
On the other hand, they moved in from Thursdays to Fridays, that could be a good sign.
No episode was scheduled for this week.
It returns next week.
They mentioned at the end of last week's show that it would be pre-empted for sports this week, and return next Friday. Your DVR is correct!
shareMaybe not brilliant, but one that really irked me was Reunion on FOX. I really got into that show and wanted to see the mystery pan out.
Others that come to mind right now
My So Called Life
American Dreams
Jericho (NUTS!)
Journeyman
Arrested development (Never watched it when it was on, but now that I'm into it, wish there had been more)
There are many more I just can't think of them right now.
I'm almost ready to give up on scripted shows that aren't Law and Order.
