I've been meaning to make this thread for a while now. A lot of shows seem to get hosed right out of the gate. And this is a place to talk about said shows. Try and keep it to shows that got really screwed though. Pretty much try and keep it to series that had two seasons or less.
My list
FireFly-This one really got the short end of the stick. Didn't even get all of the episodes of a short season to air. Bad time slots will do that to you. Not a bad episode in the lot, and this one did get some closure at least from the movie.
Invasion-This got every episode to air but it doesn't matter because it ends on a huge fucking cliff hanger that will never be resolved. Great show though, this and I think surface both tanked pretty badly.
Clerks the animated series-Only got two episodes to air, and despite what many say now I always really liked this series. I think this one went up against some basketball finals.
The critic-Great little series that I'm thankful got to run for two seasons. It's a shame fox didn't pick it up for a third.
So you guys have any you would like to lamanet?

Heat Vision and Jack doesn't really count. But if it were picked up as a series, I'm sure it would get the shaft.

That at least got a few seasons under it's belt.
The only show I REALLY got into, and didn't last for shit was Hyperion Bay.

MTV Downtown. LOVED it. Aired for like five seconds before getting pulled.
I'm pretty ok with Firefly getting one season, though I did enjoy it.
