In 2009, television audiences had plenty of hit shows to watch… but not every sitcom was lucky enough to survive the season.
In this video we take a look back at 10 forgotten and short-lived sitcoms from 2009 that disappeared almost as quickly as they arrived. Some of these shows had big stars, strong concepts, and even positive reviews — yet they still couldn’t survive the ratings battle.
From cult favorites like Better Off Ted to quickly cancelled series like Brothers, In the Motherhood, and Surviving Suburbia, we’re counting down the sitcoms that failed to make it past their first season.
Some were victims of poor scheduling, others struggled with low ratings, and a few simply arrived at the wrong time as reality television began dominating network TV.
If you enjoy TV nostalgia, forgotten shows, and looking back at the strange history of television, this countdown is for you.
