Question Cartoons With the Most Wasted Potential

For what I mean by this, I mean anything, ANYTHING cartoon related (characters, studios, movie, TV series, storylines, etc.) that had amazing potential but never really reached it.

If The Critic got on UPN...it would've saved BOTH the show and the station!

I'm almost positive that I've seen it in syndication before, but I can't recall what channel it was.

Meg Griffin would have more potential as a character if Seth had ask for help on teen girls instead of hating her.

I wish He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002) had a couple more seasons, it was really starting to take off as it got cancelled.

What about Wabbit? That is possibly the closest to the original Looney toons.

Wabbit doesn't come close Bugs acts more like a hippy plus without Daffy, Elmer, Foghorn Leghorn and the rest it's just not Loony Turns.
