* Ghost Story (title was soon changed to Circle of Fear) (1972-73) Anthology series hosted by Mr. French himself, Sebastian Cabot

* Beyond Westworld (1980) - They couldn't get past episode 5

* Struck by Lightning (1979) - One of the biggest bombs of all time (didn't even survive for 1 month) . . . and Jack Elam was in it

* My Big Fat Greek Life (2003) - A big fat turd.

* Paper Moon (1975) - Part of the new fall line-up but it didn't even survive until Christmas. Not even Jodie Foster could save this one.

* The Montefuscos (1975) - Another one that died within a month. But how could a show featuring comical Italian stereotypes possibly fail? Even with Ron Carey?

* Serpico (1976-77) - David Birney wasn't no Al Pacino . . .

* David Cassidy: Man Undercover (1978-79) - Come on get happy? I guess not.

There was a Shaft TV series in 1973 that lasted only seven episodes. Surprisingly, they managed to get Richard Roundtree to star.

It was actually good as I remember. One episode had Shaft's police buddy getting shot, Shaft donated blood, telling his buddy "So if you get a sudden craving for black eyed peas and cornbread, don't worry baby, it's alright." 😆😄
