I remember when they were considering cancelling Back To You. Fox claimed they didn't have room on their schedule for both freshman shows, Back to You and 'Til Death. 'Til Death was saved and Back To You was axed. I think they picked the wrong show.

Paul McGann did an excellent job playing The Doctor.

Well, at least he got a chance later, albeit not in a visual form. He's done at least seven seasons of an Eighth Doctor audio series, and still running.

My favorite Fox shows that were canceled:

Quintuplets
The George Carlin Show
The Pitts (a show everyone but me hated)
Oliver Beene

One show that I was just getting into, and then Fox subsequently cancelled, was New Amsterdam in 2008. It was a mid-season replacement and ended up airing only 8 episodes.

They never properly concluded the show and I thought it had a lot of potential.

Television is a business. Businesses are in business to make money. Low rated shows don't make money (regardless of their quality) and so they won't be on the air for long.

Fox has made some poor decisions, but keeping money losing programs on the air would be a very poor decision indeed.
