Vincent Laughton yup. The main reason Enterprise was canceled is because the woman who got to be in charge of CW hated the show so when The WB and UPN combined, she killed the show. She tried to do that with Smallville and Supernatural each year she was there and was outvoted, then kicked out because she tried going over their heads and preempting both shows hours before they were to return from winter hiatus.

@@Trekapedia would that woman be a young Kathleen Kennedy? 😁

@@scifiguy26 nope actually her name was Dawn Ostroff. She canceled Everwood as well as the promised Aquaman show Mercy Reef which was promised a fall slot on CW but she said oh she didnt create it so she didnt care. She also canceled WWE Smackdown but MyNetworkTV and then Syfy and USA grabbed it. She said Everwood was boring and replaced it with 7th Heaven which had already had its series finale but no longer had creator Aaron Spelling to watch over it. She also said they could remake Dawson's Creek since no one watched or remembered it, mere seconds after praising it for being the show that put The WB on the map which isnt true. Buffy put them on the map.

@@Trekapedia wow she must be Kathleen Kennedy's role model

Harris Caldwelly yeah the fans of all the shows she canceled and tried to screw over nicknamed her Demon O because we despised her so much. She actually went on record saying she wouldn’t allow shows she didn’t greenlight herself so she said Smallville and Supernatural weren’t important and she wanted them to end but they wouldn’t let her cancel them. She said well I can take their budgets instead and give them to Vampire Diaries so she did that and they couldn’t tell her no because she said that was her right. She also said The CW should be her own personal Lifetime Network. If you want your own Lifetime Network, go work there.

Hamill came back as the Trickster in the new Flash... only to say “I am your father” to his replacement. He also reappeared as the Trickster of Earth 3, looking suspiciously like another DC villain he’s known for portraying

@@artembentsionov What I liked when Hamill's Trickster was introduced in the new Flash, they showed old photos of him in the costume he wore in the original series.

Sea quest DSV. "Voyage to the bottom of the sea" re do.

will be 37 in september

Glad they showing reruns of the shows

Would've loved it if Scott Bacula got transported to the star trek universe, and became Captain Archer for a day ! 😀😎👍

Quantum Leap is also on Comet TV channel.

38 in October!

Agreed!

My cousin dated his brother and I got to have Thanksgiving with his entire family...sans him because he was filming.

It was a very good show. I was happy that something "not total crap" was on TV at the time. I was mad when it was cancelled and went back to not watching TV for a long time.... video rental addiction started around then.

That show was hella cool. I surprise it just disappeared. I was still watching reruns and next week it was gone. Keep going back to that same time slot. So, sad

On the Cape tails of batman movie.

I thought 7 seasons was the gold standard for network TV shows from the 70s to the 00s

@@OlafoWaffle Pretty much. It was the ideal length for reruns in syndication.

Ah memories of great magazines starlog and star trek communicator when they didn't cost over 12 or 15 dollars like now...

@@josephcontreras8930 agreed. For me, Starlog was always awesome and I still remember when they would talk about Batman Beyond leading up to that show's premiere. Good times and I was so sad when Starlog and Disney Adventures ended. Two of my favorite magazines ever. Starlog even said that Disney Adventures having its plug pulled was the stupid decision of the month I think it was called when it happened.

@@OlafoWaffle Exactly! The creator of this vid has no idea what he's talking about. And the fact that he even states that Bab5 was only intended for 5 seasons and yet included it in this list of "cancelled" shows proves that the dude probably doesn't even read the script before it's handed to him. What a joke!

Space: Above and Beyond also

Kindred was waaaay ahead of its time. Really wish it and Space: Above & Beyond had gotten proper closure.

EFC had a very nice start, but then the show went downhill, and the final season might as well have been a spin-off. Space vampires? Seriously? What major sci-fi series would go for that? (*cough*Atlantis*cough*)

Superforce was awesome.

instaBlaster

I think it was Big Bad Beatle Borgs that ran out of footage, though it might had been both.

@@Lynxan Both series ended because they ran out of footage.

One also has to argue that they did not actually cancel the show, considering the star of that show, as well as playing Barry Allen's dad in the new Flash also plays the same Flash from the 90's but as we all know from different multiverse Earth. Thus the show could now be said to have been on hiatus

Gary Marriott good point. I’ve wondered if they brought his Flash in with Elseworlds specifically to close his story. Maybe they even had it in mind when we first saw in when Grant’s Barry first went to Earth 2. I know I was very excited when Earth 90 mentioned his wife Tina. Sad she was dead, but still happy we finally got closure.

WHAAAAT ? Ezra is a man ?

Also I believe the series payed the way for Batman: The animated series.

@@jean-mi1825 might as well, he should just cut it off.

I heard he auditioned for the Lois and Clark show, but the producers wanted to distance themselves from previous shows.

@@aussiewanderer6304 No, Christopher maintains he was cast for Lois and Clark but then the producers learned he had basically played the role before and dropped him.

Mantis by far one of my favorite shows as a kid in the 90s. After the episodes were over I’d flip it to Tales From The Crypt or TNT Monstervision.

Space above and beyond was a terrific show

You left out “Mann and Machine”

Fox put it on Sundays . It never started on time due to Football games running over. So the Rating were horrible . I still wonder how it would do if it been put on Friday at 7 before the x file.

I blame the chigs.

Ty Bakker - Once John Rhys-Davies left, the show went down the toilet.

Yeah. That show felt like they were trying to kill it. Just too many changes for the last season and that “ending”

Ooh, good one!

Once they brought Kromaggs into it, it was over

And there's a chap in the cast of Sliders called Jerry O'Connell who was in Stand By Me in 1987

Just re-watched the whole series on HBO. One of the best written Sci-fi series of all time, definitely matched up to Star Trek.

Six seasons, that’s a descent run.

Syndication not network.

Plenty of shows on the list were syndication, namely the Star Trek shows.

chrys smetzler same thing happened to Big Bad Beetleborgs

matt it’s way too popular in Japan, they will never run of footage.

@matt That's because VR Troopers and Big Bad Beetleborgs were adapted from the Metal Hero series of shows, which are no longer being made. Power Rangers is adapted from Super Sentai, which hasn't stopped being produced since it's debut in 1975.

VR Trooper forgot the thing that made Sentai great, it ends!!! Power ranger realized that and eventually they defeated the big villains.

More than a few actually.

Same here

Me as well. They filmed two different endings because NBC actually told them they’d be renewed so if they went back on their word, they could say they had a ending in case. The other ending would have set up Al chasing after Sam for the beginning part of the next season.

The novels were pretty good too

The episode where he goes home and starts singing “imagine” before it was written to his sister and her knowing it wasn’t right for him to know this can bring a tear..

Darth Insidious17 agreed and I think they played the song over the ending credits too. Great moment and I feel like NBC never fully got behind the show. It was a smart and imaginative series but they gave it so many different days and timeslots they lost interest and patience sadly. I mean, proof of that was when the series finale rollled it’s final credits at the end, they didn’t even let them play. They had it to the side while Jay Leno pimped out his show. Sorry but QL deserved better.

Not sure why you're getting the hate. I think he's right. The show showed us what great sci-fi could be. I still think All Good Things may be the best television finale there is.

@@alb5632 Who doesnt? Picard is great too. Glad you agree. Im sure youll have nothing bad to say about this at all.

Nnnneeeerrrrrrddddddd

@@206beastman I read that in "Homer Simpson". XD I take no offence.

Unless you get a heart transplant.

I'm glad I am not the only one who remembers that series. It also introduced us to Lucas Black. Most people think when I mention American Gothic I mean the 2016 but nope the better one was the 1995.

David Tyler That Show had so much potential.

Especially as it ended on a freaking Cliffhanger !!!

I remember that show

Before meth became the thing

I thought that both shows were better in their first seasons, and sucked in later seasons when the formats were changed to more action-packed rubber monster fiascos.

The first season was really good and then it went off the rails 🤓

Sea Quest DSV more a combination of Voyage to the bottom of the sea (that predates Star Trek) and Flipper.

Yes. It began as a great show but, to please the Networks, they changed it beyond recognition. The funny things is that Roddenberry's son said, once, that his father thought of his concepts as some kind if a timeline with Earth Final Conflict (first contact) leading to Star Trek (the Federation) leading to Andromeda (after the fall of the Federation)...

I love it too! I really enjoy the episodes that have Al giving Sam stupid advice 😂

Not completely true because both TOS and Enterprise were canceled early in their runs.

@@goldenknight578 Except TV Series Back Then Rarely went for Longer than 3 Seasons and Still had So many episodes going 20-35 Episodes a Seasons including The Honeymooners which went 1 Season 39 Episodes

I remember him "flying" with aerosol cans? or something. am I misremembering?

@@kyungrix1112 That's how I used to remember it, yeah.

My Secret Identity was a good show. I think its just that Superboy is more prevalent in people's memories because it was around longer and on more stations. I loved both shows though.

@@kyungrix1112 He could levitate but couldn't propel himself, thus the aerosol cans.

Firefly , nuff said. Also, THE BLACK DONNELLYS. IT was cancelled after 4 ep. If tht. You had to watch the rest if the furst season on nbc website. And lets just say streaming wasnt very good at the time. But this all was in the 2000s

@@vperkv6554, I don't think "'nuff said" after Firefly. That wasn't the only show FOX network bungled. There was also Brimstone and Space: Above and Beyond. Both of these shows had amazing potential for longevity if FOX had supported the show and not screwed with their timeslots.

@@uclagymnastx-ing i remember brimstone, the name n thts about it. Dont remember space at all.

Misfits of science

Misfits of science which was the first big role for Courteney Cox ended when the star of the show Dean Paul Martin died.

You think you feel old ? I was in my mid to late 20s when most of these were originally on.

@@schmodedo I was no older then 10-12 when these were on....

Agreed!!!

Absolutely it was a masterpiece! I am sure I watched very ep! I love Scott Bacula! An incredible actor!

Firefly was 2002

They really need to bring back that show! Why not have Sam back in the first season but slowly ween into a series with a new cast?

@@electronraygun6346 I'm thinking some prodigy in his mid to late 20s who went to college at like 12 and grad school at 16 majoring in Quantum Physics because his parent worked on the original project and he's been obsessed with bringing Sam back and figuring out a way to make the leaping better by being able to be brought back whenever you want. He saves Sam but in the process messes up something in the timeline, nothing too major but not insignificant either. Sam being the hero that he is volunteers to keep leaping and fix it but the prodigy decides to do it instead and jumps into the machine when no one is around. Sam could even be the new hologram guide. And to account for Scott Bakula's age and to set up the means for no one to be around when the new guy leaps they can have Sam's body start to rapidly age as it adjusts to being out of the Quantum time field that kept him from aging. He's laid up for a few days in a government facility medical ward while they study the process when new guy takes the plunge and he decides he's the only one that can help.

@@michaelspencer1315 That's a pretty good idea for the show :-) I think if nothing else it shows that there could be plenty of compelling ways to basically reboot Quantum Leap. If Sam became the new "Al" then you could have an interesting tension by having the new "Sam" be more "by the numbers" very logical with HoloSam having to find ways of helping his new counterpart take a leap of faith in some way like Sam often did. I think there's lots of ways it could work, it really amazes me that they haven't brought the show back already! :-0

that text was added after it got canceled. if it hadn't been canceled we wouldn't of seen that text.

@@electronraygun6346 That would be super cool! But Al will always be the best hologram 🥺

Not exactly. Jason David Frank was already on Power Rangers. Originally Tommy was to die like his Sentai counterpart. Cybertron, the original title of VR Troopers, was filmed during the time when Tommy’s powers were lost. Bradley Hawkins was actually hired to be the White Ranger, but Tommy proved to be such a popular character that Adam Steel was renamed Ryan Steel Cybertron became VR Troopers and Jason David Frank continued playing Tommy Oliver and became the White Ranger. Bradley then played Ryan Steel and was the voice of the Gold Ranger on Power Rangers Zeo before they showed the triplets that played Tre of Triforia.

@@matthewrosenthal753 Oh ok. I'd never heard that version of it. Good to know. I do remember when I was a kid being certain that the voice of Tre/Zeo Gold and Ryan Steel were the same person.

Those days of good morals are gone sadly. If it was reboot it would probably have a episode with him helping terrorists since things are upside down now.

I said the same thing. Sam had a daughter by the Farmer girl...she named her Sammy Jo.....

Phoenix Lyon I mean, to be fair the miniskirt and boots was used for a background male character as well.

Chup Smith Before it started I theorised the Superman that recreated “The Death of Superman” was going to be Gerard Christopher. It’s a shame it never happened.

"Resurrection," season three.

@@dalethelander3781 Thanks!

Ummmm...as the narrator stated, Paramount wanted to move the TNG cast into theatrical features since the original cast had been retired after ST 6 The Undiscovered Country.

*Scott Bacula* said he would never touch QL ever again. I personally don’t blame a 65yr old man for not wanting to go back to a show he did in his 30s.

Freddy's Nightmares was being cancelled anyway. The production value and stories were terrible. FT13:TS is one of my all time favorite shows. They did a great job of giving you enough of a back story on each antique without making it sound like a history lesson.

The actor in mantis later played martian manhunters dad on supergirl
