The unseen: 24 TV shows produced but never properly aired (Interesting article)

Either focus groups hated them (in one case, the Congressional Black Caucus), or the network's top brass tinkered with them too much - 24 shows that never got a chance!

It has been shown in full overseas, but it is permanently shelved here.

Another show that should have lived longer is Dark Skies, a conspiracy theory-meets-aliens drama taking place in the 1960s.

They showed the 13 episodes out of order, bounced it all over the schedule then killed it. The movie did AMAZING, but there was no sequel. Why Joss keeps working with Fox I will never know.
