Slight technical error. Glad you enjoyed, though.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Fernwood 2Nite/America 2Nite (not sure if it would be considered a flop, though...there were two seasons). TVShowsOnDVD.com is reporting that Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman might be released, so maybe there’s hope for Fernwood.

"The Mothers-In-Law" with Kaye Ballard and Eve Arden. I remember seeing reruns of it in the 70s when I was a kid and haven't seen it since.

Margo--The Mothers-In-Law would be bliss! Yes, please.

re: Flop TV Series That May Never Reach DVD

If they can release "Tabitha" on DVD, why not Kaye Ballard and Eve Arden who were very funny, as I recall. (Okay, it's a hazy recollection, at best.)

re: Flop TV Series That May Never Reach DVD

Hey! How about "Bridgit Loves Bernie?" A dear old family friend of ours (and former Dolly Levi) played Bernie's mom: Bibi Osterwald. IMDb.com says this show is the highest rated series (ranked #5) to be cancelled during it's first season on the air. Too much controversy and hate mail was the reason.

How about "It's About Time"
I think I was 5 or 6 when I saw this series , so I don't rememeber much about it. It was a comedy about two astronauts who go back in time. Imogene Coca starred.
Anybody else rember this?

ITS ABOUT TIME, ITS ABOUT SPACE,
ABOUT 2 MEN IN THE STRANGEST PLACE.
ITS ABOUT CAVES, CAVEMEN TOO,
ABOUT A TIME WHEN THE EARTH WAS NEW.
WAIT TILL THEY SEE WHAT'S IN SIGHT,
IS IT GOOD LUCK OR IS IT GOOD NIGHT?

Good Morning, Miami. Very short-lived show that I'm not sure anyone besides me actually watched. But I liked it.

Teachers. It ran a few episodes this past season and I never missed. I really liked it, I'm not sure why it flopped so bad. It was pretty funny.

High Society
Good and Evil
Fired Up
Best of the West
Galaxy High (animated)

And one of the funniest cartoon series ever created:
The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse

I loved Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home!

Here's a small list of shows cancelled after one episode - maybe they could combine ALL of them to a 2 or 3 disc compilation :) It also includes some shows that were cancelled before they aired. It could be Worst of TV II or something like that.....

I forgot Best of The West

At least Police Squad comes out in November

Short lived series like this are good as the expenditure is minimal

I remember "It's About Time". Of course I was only an infant at the time but the theme song has remained with me all of these years just like "Gilligan", "My Mother, The Car", "The Brady Bunch", "Car 54 Where Are You?" and "The Facts of Life".

"I've lost everything! Luis, Marty, my baby with Chris, Chris himself, James. All I ever wanted was love." --Sheridan Crane "Passions" ------- "Housework is like bad sex. Every time I do it, I swear I'll never do it again til the next time company comes."--"Lulu" from "Can't Stop The Music" ----- "When the right doors didn't open for him, he went through the wrong ones" - "Sweet Bird of Youth" ------------ --------- "Passions" is uncancelled! See NBC.com for more info.

Car 54 was out on VHS for awhile

It ran 2 years but has almost 70 episodes. I hope it will make it as it was very funny

I loved "Car 54", especially Leo and Sylvia ("Grandpa Munster" and "Mrs. G"). They were a riot as was Lucille.

Mr. Midwest - I was going to say PASADENA, as well! I think they filmed 13 episodes, so they could at least release those. I got hooked, and then they just left it all hanging!

Car 54 was hysterical

The episode where they buy orthopedic shoes for Muldoon is a pip

Was 8 Simple Rules a flop? I really want to watch the first season.

Loved that show!
