the most hilarious TV comedies and
sitcoms that were cancelled by their
networks
number 10 Clone High Johnny this year’s
gonna be different
taller I’ve got slightly bigger
sideburns I spent all summer on my high
fives my finger snaps this one-of-a-kind
series only ran for one season and was
cancelled due to low readings and
controversy over its depiction of a
teenage mahatma ghandi however more than
a decade later it’s developed a cult
following thanks to its unique premise
which asked the question what if the US
government cloned a bunch of historical
figures and stuck them in a high school
together your name Dave aren’t you Abe
with teenage versions of Abraham Lincoln
Joan of Arc Cleopatra and JFK running
around the show had endless material to
work with so it’s a real shame we only
have 13 episodes to repeatedly binge
when life gives you lemons
you’ll clone those lemons and make super
lemons number 9 the last man on earth
put a bomb back in the hole thingy
Americans we put a man on the moon
created by and starring the always
hilarious Will Forte the last man on
earth was unfortunately dropped in May
of 2018 the show which revolved around
the post-apocalyptic life of Phil Miller
a hapless loser with a penchant for
screwing things up ran for a total of
four seasons
definitely meandering its own fictional
landscape with endless raunchy wit they
say that
eyebrows are the curtains to the windows
to the soul of your face the show’s
premise made for a fantastic sitcom
allowing viewers to vicariously live out
a scenario that most have thought about
but few would actually want to be in
helped by a stellar supporting cast
Forte took us on a ride that was
creative and wildly entertaining we look
forward to the reruns ah kind of a beat
thing number 8 Family Matters can I have
a glass of milk to go with my face it’s
been off of the ABC sitcom perfect
strangers Family Matters managed to
surpass its predecessor in no small part
thanks to Julia White’s iconic
performance
the Winslows annoying nerdy neighbor
Steve Urkel then I though then the show
ran for an impressive nine seasons
before receiving the axe but its legacy
lives on in the form of frequent reruns
on various networks even better the show
has been made available for streaming on
Hulu so if you have a few months to burn
and you’re a fan of classic 90s sitcoms
you know where to go
hey baby going my way number seven happy
endings did we start already there do
you really want water how and why this
show didn’t last longer we will never
understand happy endings revolved around
the exploits of a tightly knit group of
friends living in Chicago a
dysfunctional bunch to say the least the
group nevertheless endeared themselves
to fans and critics alike
so it came as a major shock when the
show was cancelled in 2013 my score is
the Peach Pit Jill with that here was a
program that was smart funny touching
and a hit with viewers that was dropped
for no good reason
vulture comm listed it as one of the
worst TV decisions of the year and we
have a hard time disagreeing with them I
did not make it out unscathed I’m
extremely scared number six scrubs the
medical interns are having a pacman
tournament apparently we’re all 12 after
airing for nine seasons and pulling in
strong ratings to year after year scraps
finally said goodbye in 2010 the show
made waves in its early years thanks to
a truly incredible cast which featured
the unique comedic stylings of Zach
Braff Sarah Chalke Donald Faison
and of course John C McKinley I’m not
planning on doing any paperwork but I
did go ahead and leave my urine sample
on your driver’s side car door the show
which was set in a hospital and focused
on the lives of both the staff and the
patients was notable for its
lightning-fast whip zini premises and
surprisingly heartfelt moments very
watchable barely scratches the surface
when discussing this award-winning and
highly quotable sitcom not because of
you are not insane he was dead when we
walked over here but just as studying
the horrible job nonetheless number five
Pushing Daisies
those opposed i ANZUS couldn’t excuse as
any to start living one of the most
imaginative shows to have ever aired on
network television Pushing Daisies
revolved around a pie maker with the
power to bring people back from the dead
with the touch of his finger the show
could just have easily been a
hard-hitting drama but the creators went
in a different direction
and crafted a program that was endlessly
quirky highly stylized and
side-splitting ly funny
as the kind that bites the heads of
chickens Oh animal rights groups put a
stop to that kind of geek a long time
ago it was named one of the top ten new
TV series by time in 2007 and was
nominated for three Golden Globes and 17
Primetime Emmys during its two season
run winning seven of the latter few
shows are as pleasurable to rewatch as
this one is how much time Brian I have
things to say I’m having awkward
silences with God number four Better Off
Ted no what is the last thing that dub
sees he’s blindfolded it’s better for
both of us who doesn’t love a good
satire when it premiered in 2009 Better
Off Ted drew considerable praise from
critics thanks to its off-the-wall humor
and wry social commentary with some
likening it to Arrested Development
unfortunately the show which revolved
around the exaggerated inner workings of
an R&D department couldn’t hack it with
viewers and was promptly cancelled after
just two seasons the rest of you you’re
welcome
the show touched upon the difficulties
of working for a nefarious corporation
while still trying to raise a child with
a strong moral compass featuring an
exceptionally funny cast and strong
writing better off Ted still has a lot
to offer after multiple viewings even if
it’s far shorter than we’d like now back
to work
number three king of the hill how many
cows do you people eat in a year
wait we figured this out once few
animated sitcoms have delved into the
trials and tribulations of living in
middle-class America with a deadpan like
grace of king of the hill set in the
fictional town of Arlen Texas the show
focused on the hills a traditional
family who constantly found themselves
the show received numerous nominations
and heaps of praise during its time as
one of Fox’s flagship series but was
nevertheless canceled in 2010 due to low
ratings while rewatching a great sitcom
is all well and good a revival would be
considerably better which is exactly
what creator Mike judge continues to
lobby for fingers crossed people all
right mister you’ve got one minute oh
dang it Bobby it has been at least a
minute
number two Futurama
in quarters my girlfriend I’ll never see
any of them again from the mind of
Simpsons creator Matt Groening Futurama
focused on fry a pizza delivery guy who
was accidentally frozen in a cryogenic
pod and unfrozen a thousand years in the
future tackling the types of offbeat and
ridiculous scenarios that only animation
can do justice the show was and
continues to be a hilarious and often
heartfelt viewing experience I just want
her to like me well there’s always hope
oddly enough Futurama was actually
canceled on more than one occasion first
in 2003 and again in 2013 after having
been revived a few years earlier thanks
to a considerable effort on the part of
fans thankfully rewatching this
futuristic series never gets old you can
be crummy universe a and will be
universe one or the mongooses that’s a
cool team name before we unveil our top
pick here are a few honorable mentions I
think we’ve had enough of those please I
don’t don’t give me a vegan lecture are
number one freaks and geeks you gotta
find your big gigantic drunk yeah in the
early 2000s Judd Apatow effectively
cornered the market on television shows
that were critically acclaimed and
beloved by fans but only lasted one
season
first he executive produced freaks and
geeks a show that’s widely regarded as
one of the most honest not to mention
hilarious depictions of high school life
ever put on television the show helped
launch the careers of James Franco Jason
Segel and Seth Rogen and has since been
included on numerous best TV shows of
all time list
Apatow followed it up by creating
undeclared a sitcom about a group of
freshmen trying to navigate the college
landscape to great shows same result oh
well time for a double marathon what’s
your major
