which shows, especially those which were cancelled, could've done much better if it wasn't for its lacklustre writing or treatment by the networks, or both and offer reasons why, if you can as well

"BACK TO YOU" on Fox. It was a funny show, but it never got a chance to build an audience!! No sooner did it start, then it was forced to go on hiatus until April!!!

Sorry, once John Ritter died that show should have been OVER. Just my opinion.

I agree that Reba should've had more seasons, but it deffinitly reached it's potential. It was always so funny, and the writing and cast were top notch. If it weren't for the WB shutting down, it might still be on. It will always be a classic show!
