Not old, but they had a Melrose Place remake the other night. My wife tells me they made a previous remake which was cancelled. Not really forgotten, more like I never even knew about it.
There was also a Dark Shadows revival series which got cancelled after a dozen episodes or so.

Actually, a recent (and very terrible) show was MY BIG FAT GREEK LIFE. I watched the pilot episode and it was painful. The humor was forced (and not funny). I think they ended up making about 6 episodes, which QUICKLY got released in a DVD set. I wonder if anyone bought it?

I handed in a script last year and the studio didn't change one word. The word they didn't change was on page 87.

Then there's the ever-popular Manimal
That show probably should have been called Minimal |

I have Square Pegs on DVD. Would like to see Invisible Man as I'm a huge fan of David McCallum's work.

I got a couple that come to mind:
+ Supertrain
+ Pink Lady and Jeff
+ The Chevy Chase Show
+ You're in the Picture
+ Me and the Chimp
+ My Mother the Car
And of course my personal favorite, Turn-On! It is the only show to ever been cancelled during mid-air. It was cancelled half way through and most the nation never even saw it even begin!

The Magician with Bill Bixby. All I can remember about this show is the Corvette he drove. |

Salvage One. Somebody should have clued in that when Andy Griffith sent a homebuilt rocket to the moon in the pilot, the show really had nowhere else to go but downhill.
Quark. There's an example of a show that was ahead of its time. The public just wasn't ready for a sci-fi sitcom. I suppose there was Mork and Mindy, but I count that more as a tried-and-true mismatched roommate scenario with an alien. Anyway, I think Richard Benjamin is underrated.
