Question of the Week: Gone Too Soon

As you can tell from my posts about “Justice,” the vultures are already flying around the new shows.

The one with the most vultures is FOX’s “Happy Hour”—and deservedly so. Although FOX has not officially cancelled it, it is questionable whether it will return after baseball season.

There are also a few vultures flying around FOX’s “Standoff” since it took a break to “allow the writers to catch up.” FOX, however, says that “Standoff” will be back after baseball, but you never know.

Without fail, every season there’s a new show that is cancelled way too quickly, leaving people to wonder what would have happened.

So here’s this week’s Question of the Week: What show do you feel was gone too soon?

For me, it’s absolutely “Skin,” which I alluded to in my earlier post. If you missed it (and likely you did), this show was the story of a star-crossed teenage couple. His father was the DA and her father was the porn king the DA was trying to bring down. Ron Silver was sensational as the porn king with a heart of gold and the writing was the best on TV at the time. The problem was that FOX marketed it during baseball as a Romeo and Juliet love story. If they would’ve focused on the porn aspect, it probably would’ve done better. You’ve got to know your audience, people…

So what show are you still angry about being cancelled too soon?
