If I could add one to the list it would be Chris Carter's Harsh Realm.

It had a very short run and it ended just as the story was developing. I watched it when it was on.

The series is out on DVD though.

Does anyone remember Tribeca? It was an anthology series that aired on FOX and lasted for only 7 episodes in 1993.

Titus and Grounded For Life were killed before their time on Fox. GFL at least was picked up by the WB but Titus was canceled after 3 seasons and Fox was always interfering in the direction of the show. Of course I can also add BTY with Fox too.

I don't really remember that. I've heard of it but I haven't seen it.

I know of the short anthology that was on ABC called Gun; lasted 6 eps.

I remember watching Titus when it was on. It was different.

I really agree with the article. Fox is terrible with most of it's shows. A lot of them seem to be sci-fi too. Dollhouse is probably next to go.

A few other shows that I would add to the list are Space: Above and Beyond, The Outsiders and Parker Lewis Can't Lose.

Thanks for mentioning Space: Above and Beyond as I now added it to the short-lived DVD thread.

The war at home was great shouldnt have been cancelled

Titus was the best show on FOX

They had to cancel a lot of the shows so they could have room for all the crap they air - American Idol, So you think you can dance, Don't Forget The Lyrics, Hells Kitchen, and all those other stupid show's - Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire, Temptation Island, etc.

There was a good show that aired only 13 episodes. I can't think of what the name of it was. I think it aired in 1999. If someone can get me a schedule for FOX for 1999 I'd appreciate it.

The other show I like they canceled too early was Reunion, but that show got pre-empted too many times because of Baseball Playoffs and President Bush's speehes. I think Reunion was from 2005.

If you describe what the show was about maybe I or someone else can help more.

I remember Reunion; my sis got into it but I didn't. She was mad it ended incomplete.

Um, I'm trying to remember. I think in one episode the teenage boy was learning to drive with his mom. He crashed the car and his mother's unborn child was killed in the crash. The show as on at 9PM I think? Maybe on Wednesday?

Sorry no luck.

Haha, I tried on google search and I'm getting real reports of car crashes from FOX News.

yankeesfan82 · 10-25-2009, 08:44 PM

Found it. It was called GET REAL and it aired Wednesdays at 9PM on FOX.

The poster made think about shows that I have not thought about in a long time. Thanks dude! You bring up some valid points. Both FOX and ABC have dropped the ball on good shows.
