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?

"It's Like You Know" was awesome. What a great cast. So nice to see them turning up other places. Well, except for poor Jennifer Grey. But it was still a great concept. My favorite ep was the one where JG antagonizes all the Harvard writers.

(Speaking of ... Nestor Carbonell? Really? I only vaguely follow his career because I remember him from college productions. Good to know he has an actual following.)

My favorite "no one ever saw this show but me" was "Day by Day", about a day care center. pre-Seinfeld Julia Louis-Dreyfus, pre-Melrose Courtney Thorne-Smith and a bunch of other good people.

I remember Day by Day. Christopher Daniel Barnes, post-Starman and pre-Greg Brady, yum.
