Shows that shouldn't'a died. Some fan favorites and then some stuff no one watched but me, for you to learn about and love and mourn!

Grand: Like Northern Exposure, but with pianos! Didn't make it a full half season.
Mercy Point: Space hospital! Lasted exactly three episodes.
It's Like, You Know...: West-coast Seinfeld! Back when ABC was yellow! Eked out a half season.
LA Doctors: Michael Steadman running to save an exploding schoolbus! Who could ask for anything more? This one survived a whole SEASON, go figure.
The Tick: Live-action! With Patrick Warburton and Nestor Carbonell and so many other good people! One whole half season.
Freaks & Geeks
Sports Night
Firefly
Jeremiah (though the last nail's not in the coffin yet)

Now is when you tell me that you also loved Grand or Mercy Point, and we hold each other by the shoulders and remember the good times?

I LOVED Grand! I still get the theme song stuck in my head: "We're all different drummers playing in the same big band/and if you want to play it, play it -- play it grand..."

And of course Firefly (and Farscape), and Sports Night, and Freaks & Geeks and Undeclared and The Tick (one of the smartest, definitely the queerest show ever on network TV) and ... God yes. LA Doctors was one of the best shows I'd ever seen. The finale -- the one on the bridge? Made me cry for the entire last half hour. So Good!

ME TOO. Yowza.
