Stark Raving Mad- it was a top 20 show but i beleive it didn't retain enough viewers from it's lead in so it got cancelled

Oh Grow Up- The guy who created six feet under was behind this show but i think he was fighting with the network so it was cancelled.

Jesse- just lasted two season and was a top 20 hit

There were actually three very different TV series loosely based on H.G. Wells' classic story The Invisible Man. The first one (which I have
never seen) ran on CBS, from 1958 to 1960 and starred Johnny Scripps as
Peter Brady, a scientist-turned-adventurer who was unable to reverse an
experiment that made him invisible. This show was a British import. The
second one ran on NBC, from 1975 to 1976 and starred David McCallum as
Dr. Daniel Westin, a scientist on covert missions for a research company.
Melinda Fee and Craig Stevens co-starred. And, finally, there was the
2000-2002 version on the Sci Fi channel, starring Vincent Ventresca as
Darien Fawkes, a reformed thief whose invisibilty implant eroded his sanity
unless he received regular injections of a counteragent. Aided by partner
Hobbes (Paul Ben-Victor), Fawkes battled various bad guys for the federal
government in return for the serum. Eddie Jones played his superior.

I remember both versions of the short-lived sitcom Temperatures Rising.
When it began, it starred James Whitmore and Cleavon Little. It was hard for
me to accept Whitmore in a comedy, though, having previously seen him play a lawyer on the drama The Law and Mr. Jones. He was perfectly cast in that role. But, after Paul Lynde's self-titled sitcom was cancelled after a
brief run, he replaced Whitmore. In that later version, there were some very
funny verbal sparring matches between Lynde and Little. Too bad the ABC
network didn't give the show enough time to build an audience.
