10 Unseen Shows That Were Cancelled Before Airing

[@MorningStarScorpio]

The Bone story is so sad. This could have been something really special.

[@Grover1234]

Ever since finding the comic during the early 90's and falling in love with it! I had always wanted a movie or show back then and now finding out there was going to be and now not knowing if anything will ever become of it. Makes me sad.

[@stayuplateproductions]

I think it would have been fantastic for Netflix

[@mightyfilm]

It should be stated that not only did Louie CK's behavior lead to the cancellation of THE ENTIRE block of TBS cartoons. Tarantula was burned off quickly over a summer replacement season and Close Enough famously sat on the shelf for at least 2 years, and when it DID come out, HBOMAX was all too eager to erase it for their standard corporate welfare "tax write offs." I guess Cops was too rooted in Louie that they couldn't pull a Secret Life of Pets 2 and just recast him with someone better. There's also the case of an FX cartoon called "Cassius and Clay" that seemed to be a buddy comedy that may have taken place in a Mad Max style world. It had the same animation team as Archer. But the show was mysteriously pulled without explanation before even an episode aired.

[@tb3411]

Don't forget about Final Space

[@mightyfilm]

@@tb3411 I didn't want to bring that up, as it would lead to me having a multi-paragraph rant. If I want to see how it ends, I have to wait several years and fork over a couple hundred bucks for a legal loophole of a comic book. Cops is one of the worst cartoons of all time JUST for the fact it destroyed everything around it, ESPECIALLY Final Space and Close Enough. And before someone says "What about American Dad?" as it was produced by Fox, Disney foots the bill for it and all WB has to do is pay them for the episodes. Disney could move it to a Hulu exclusive if they wanted.

[@pekklesanriofan8585]

@mightyflim you are right

[@slaughterhater]

Louis CK’s behavior also got him dropped from Secret Life Of Pets 2

[@mightyfilm]

@@slaughterhater Patton Oswalt was a better choice for the character anyway. He at least had a better emotional range.

[@Korosivv]

Gotham High was truly a loss of epic propotions. The internet lore of people thinking teenage Joker was epic in the most unironic sense will never be understated. Also justice for Jeff Smith and "Bone", dude rules and his story deserves better than to be treated the way it was.

[@stayuplateproductions]

Yes and Yes

[@MonsterTaming420]

The fact Seth couldn't make Peter and Fred different makes me so happy we never saw it, but in a way kinda sad because it would have been funny in a bad way lmao

[@carn9507]

Right? I never once thought of Fred and Peter being much like each other but so yeah if Seth was just gonna make Fred into a Prehistoric Peter, we're better off without it.

[@tracymurray6840]

Speaking of remaking the Flintstones, I wonder what happened to the version that Elizabeth Banks was going to make, it is still on? We have not heard any more news about it.

[@blast_processing6577]

I realize there are a lot of reasons to hate Netflix, but dropping the Bone cartoon is high on the list.

[@Somoutogomea]

Why doesn't everyone just boycott Netflix already? They suck.

[@beauwalker9820]

It's so sad "Bone" seems cursed to never get a good adaptation. Though, I guess no animated adaptation is better than a bad one, as Nick and WB wanted to change it too much... Meanwhile, Netflix wanted a faithful adaptation, (for once) yet became too broke to do it.

[@GhostBusters-wb4un]

You guys really didn’t need to explain a homage to The Peanuts. I’d argue that’s the most famous running gag.

[@christopherblue2004]

That’s EXACTLY what I expected a network sitcom version of Clerks to be. A bad version of “Two guys a girl and a pizza place.”

[@Theodoreroosevelt1912]

It's unwatchable. I tried to watch it (before I saw this video). It's absolute shit. I think at most I watched half of the pilot.

[@kamenanew9867]

​@@Theodoreroosevelt1912I watched it because really how else could I honestly judge it and you got thru eleven minutes but couldn't stand another eleven minutes? Lol that's one aqua teens episode, it's a pretty short amount of time there's nearly ten of those an hour. So it right, grab a buddy and your buzz of choice, you can easily get thru twenty minutes of bad TV dude.

[@erikdaniels0n]

That Gotham High show could’ve been an absolute blast, we were robbed

[@Unquestionable]

Back when it was it was first shown off I remember the comic book community had pretty strong backlash, in large part because of how badly the superhero Looney Tunes show had turned out. Personally I think it could have been a fun little project with tons of potential for good jokes.

[@stayuplateproductions]

I agree. They should have released that show and gave it at least one 13 episode season

[@teddyfurstman1997]

I wish Bone had an Animated series. Netflix was so bad at treating the comic.

[@JadenYukifan28]

The one thing that gets me about this is that he wanted "Bone" to practically be a silent film or animated show, no one's going to watch that.

[@kingbeef66]

Crash and Bone sounded intriguing. A shame they weren’t greenlighted.

[@7amart177]

I'm still praying for bones to get a tv show

[@jethrohenderson4968]

I want BONE to be a series NOW! 😢

[@beauwalker9820]

Unfortunately, none of the TV or movie studios want to respect Jeff Smith's vision.

[@TheVTable]

⁠@@beauwalker9820and just when we had that with Netflix The People in charge of that got laid off to save money

[@AlternativeHistory32]

Seeing a young joker and Batman in high school would’ve been interesting and really cool .

[@stayuplateproductions]

Yea they dropped the ball with that project

[@AlternativeHistory32]

@@stayuplateproductions yeah also it could’ve really expanded on their relationship in the original animated series .

[@tb3411]

What do I think of The Clerks sitcom pilot? It's absolute garbage from the moment a laugh track was included. I don't I've seen something so dead on arrival. We would get a much better Clerks sitcom in 2001 in the form of a cartoon but it got screwed over badly by the network and only lasted six episodes.

[@thatonebruh1963]

3:23 Thorn is not a spin off, it's the "Beta" version of Bone that was a comic strip that he ran in his college's newspaper, which Jeff Smith would then remake and adapt for the comic run. However there IS a spin off called Rose, named after her grandmother.

[@UncleGhoulieTv313]

Clerks Tv shows looks about the same as the movie to me...

[@EmeraldMania]

The video is amazing dude!!! Oh yea if you ever make a part 2 to this there’s also a few more cancelled Felix the Cat tv shows Felix & Pals Puppet Party!, Felix the Cat and The New Adventures and Trembly Bros Studios Felix the Cat. I am a huge Felix the Cat fan so it would be pretty cool to see these cancelled shows get some more lime light.

[@carn9507]

I'mma guess Felix isn't the only cartoon cat you love. :) *looks at profile pic*

[@EmeraldMania]

@@carn9507 True

[@ThatJohnKillion1970]

The Clerks pilot looks like something from TGIF. G-rated TV spin-offs from R-rated movies never work.

[@bryangarcia5599]

I dunno; _Toxic Crusaders_ was pretty tight....

[@geraldmartin7703]

In the mid 1970s (?), Post Cereals mascot, "Sugar Bear", who was staple of television commercials for "Golden Crisp" cereal, was announced as a Saturday morning cartoon series; but protests by parents groups stopped it from ever debuting. I remember the uproar.

[@NitwitsWorld]

Jeez….. 😅

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Rambo, a animated 1980s era show was short lived. Sylvester Stallone was very annoyed over the toys, concepts. The studio wanted $ and were way off base. Stallone was 💯 correct.

[@BATCHARRO]

My mom was hype for Frogmen. Instead he murderized two people.

[@btr9969]

I got blue balled because of bone getting canceled

[@Jamal-bl7yh]

Number 11 The Pitts a Animated Reboot Of a live action Fox Show that was cancelled shortly after the death of one of the castmates who was to be replaced by Alyson Janney In the cartoon but Fox never picked It up and Aired The Cleveland Show Instead

[@comebackkid1216]

Always good seeing your videos man

[@Official_Anonymous]

Did you know that Fox was also gonna make an animated series based on the Croc games, but it too was cancelled?

[@stayuplateproductions]

I love the Croc series and honestly I could see the characters working in a cartoon but that doesn’t sound like a good idea

[@Official_Anonymous]

@@stayuplateproductions I would imagine that it would've been part of the Fox Kids line-up, but yeah, that's actually why it was cancelled, they couldn't figure out how to make it work.

[@rickmartinez3268]

No one told me that as a cartoon called bone base on the comic books

[@MimiOrozco23]

Very cool vid!

[@carn9507]

They thought Frogmen would get higher ratings than Friends and ER combined? Seriously?

[@stayuplateproductions]

Yeah, I thought that was comical too

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

What's wierd is 1990s; Chicago Hope 🏥 & ER started at the same time. Chicago Hope even lasted 3-4 seasons.

[@beeboi4873]

That's oj Simpson trailer aged well lmao

[@tapinewoods3937]

Give us BONE. I am so done wating for that adaptation. I say we fans create our own BONE animated series.

[@Aqzw]

Interesting

[@paultapner2769]

Still Life. Created by Marti Noxon, one of the main writers on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it was a fox show which showed a rookie cop who is killed on his first day on the job. A year later he returns as a ghost to see how his family are getting on. Cast included Morena Baccarin and Jensen Ackles. Six episodes were made. Then fox pulled the plug. None were broadcast and are probably still in their vault. The Ortegas at no 42. Another fox one. They paid a lot to get the right to remake popular British show the Kumars at no 42. A spoof chat showed hosted by a British indian family. The Ortegas were going to be mexican americans. But they just never showed it. Day One. A mystery show a la lost Flashforward etc, had people in a city trying to survive after a mysterious alien force arrives and destroys everything around them. Originally announced as a series. Then it was going to a mini series. Then nothing happened. The network saying we kinda moved on from that. And one that was only at the proposed pilot stage before cancellation, due to covid shutdown it would seem. Baywatch San Diego. The Baywatch film of 2017 didn't do well enough at the box office to get a sequel. But in early 2020 Variety announced Baywatch San Diego. A new tv pilot. They were looking for an actor the lead character. Described as Male. Aged 30-35. With two daughters. But nothing more was ever heard of it. I would love to know how that might have turned out.

[@thehedgehoggamer8471]

Gotham high would've been great:(

[@user-bt4vx2fe2f]

Honestly I think die hard comic fans would have picked the show to death. I have to admit even I did that when I saw a teenage Joker.

I made a video a while back about the animated series and why the animated movie was cancelled

[@Itz__mirrr]

Dora had a tv show called dora's explorer girls where dora would be older but due to controversy we only got a special, 3d theme song and how the explorer girls met

[@jeremyriley1238]

The clerk show wasn’t bad from that clip

[@kamenanew9867]

It's on KZbin, and it is pretty bad but not unwatchable. Coulda been a watchable when nothing's on kinda thing for a season. But I'm fine that it didn't make it as well.

[@NinjaTenK]

@kamenanew9867 I think it's cause that it was the people beside the scenes like the writer and/or producers
