List of shows Fox has cancelled they shouldn't have

Action - Comedy starring Jay Mohr as an amoral movie producer. I thought it was hilarious and have never completely forgiven FOX for cancelling it

Futurama- Never gave the show the chance it deserved. Show *still* does well in reruns on Adult Swim.

Arrested Development - Show with edgy humor that hadn't run it's course.

Family Guy - At least they had the good sense to bring it back

American Dad (if it is indeed gone) - One call they got right. That show blows.

What else?

wow man...
american dad is awesome... u just have to give it a chance, same as futurama, it took awhile to catch on, but now its awesome... and by the way, Futurama is coming back to fox with new episodes in the Fall man. I can't believe I'm the first to post that here. GO FUTURAMA!!!

Survivor isn't a fox show. This topic is about shows on Fox.

In Living Color
Roc
Parker Lewis Can't Lose
Tracy Ullman Show
21 Jump Street
The Crew
Herman's Head

All from Fox's early days

Of course, Reunion. That show got the crappiest treatment because Fox signed up for it knowing it was a full arc, pulled the plug early anyway, and couldn't be bothered to show the last 4 episodes that it had already filmed, never mind the fact that it filmed 9 fewer episdoes than the full story arc required. To top it off, that prick Peter Liguori leaked out who the killer was supposed to be, just in case the WB had entertained thoughts about picking up the show where it left off. Talk about raping something and then killing it!

RAAAMOOOOOONE! GET IN HERE AND CLEAN UP THIS MISCARRIAGE!

I can't believe that only three people have said Greg The Bunny so far. That shows how little of a chance it got after being stuck behind Bernie Mac and then shunted around the schedule constantly, being forced to take three and four week hiatuses.

One more for GTB! I still have my "Save GTB" shirt. At least FOX threw us a DVD crumb, and IFC put out their groovy DVD. FOX was against GTB from the beginning - they said it was 'hard to produce'. Whatever.

I made a smelly in my shelly.

i loved that show.

You can't say Arrested Development! Fox TRIED to give this show a chance! It's ratings were HORRIBLE for THREE seasons. Fox would have cancelled it after 1 season if the show itself wasn't so fantastic (and critically loved). A show with ratings that would rival an NHL playoff game lasted 3 seasons... Fox should be patted on the back for this one. BTW: buy the DVDs... man Arrested was a GREAT show!

Firefly and Wonderfalls were the shows I miss the most. Serenity was an amazing movie showing you a glimps of where the show was going.

Fox changes the dates and times they show shows all the time. This show was moved around so many times, its no wonder it got canceled. Personally I still catch reruns on g4 and the dvds.

Point Pleasant. I don't care if everyone else hated it.

Arrested Development was the biggest and best show they've ever canceled... but it didnt seem like that show belonged on network tv... it seems more fit for Showtime or HBO. Hilarious show... Tobias as a non nude... lol

[–] Taargus_Taargus 18 years ago

My favorites that got cancelled were:

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr
Freaky Links
Arrested Development
Andy Richter Controls the Universe
Firefly
Greg the Bunny
Boston Public
The Tick
Keen Eddie
Futurama
Get a Life
Dark Angel

I would have to add Titus to the list. IMO one of the best shows that has been on TV the past few years and they drop it.

[–] Taargus_Taargus 18 years ago

I second Titus. I forgot about that one. That was a great show!

Titus was a good show. It, like all Fox shows, was a little slow at first, but was really picking up steam at the end.

I was able to appreciate his show that much more after seeing his Showtime standup special Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding....

I miss Titus. I officially hated Fox after they canceled that show.

[–] Big_M12 18 years ago

Married with Children was indeed canceled they didn't end voluntarily. That being said these are the shows I say:

The Lone Gunmen - I loved this spinoff of X-Files it was awesome.
Titus - Awesome show as well, got bounced around if I remember correctly.
Boston Public - Could of gone for 1 or 2 more seasons.

DAMN!

[–] dbmalmud 18 years ago

Just watch Season 4 Episode 1 of Family Guy and they mention at least 25 shows that Fox has cancelled. Peter lists shows for a few minutes and then says something like "Maybe if all those shows get cancelled we'll get another chance"
