"You're In The Picture" was fabulously funny. Nobody could figure out what the scenes they were supposed to guess were supposed to represent, because they couldn't see them, and were too obscure to figure out even if they could. I might be interested in watching a game show that nobody could win, if they made it consistently funny and unpredictable.

I've actually seen the two episodes of Turn-on that were produced. It WAS ahead of its time. Audiences of today would have no problem with the show. But 1969 is a whole other ballgame. The jokes flew at you from every direction. Instead of an audience or canned laughter, they used a Moog Synthesizer instead of an audience. The show didn't have an opening credits sequence. Instead, the credits were run after commercial breaks. Finally, the show didn't have an actual set. It was filmed in a big, white room and was designed to make viewers somewhat uncomfortable. The premise of the show was that it was all created by a computer. The second episode would've featured the first motion captured CGI. Do a KZread search for Turn-on Dancer, and it should come up. It would've totally freaked out a 1969 audience.

So here in Australia one of our most infamous one was an adult version “Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos” that within 20 minutes of its airing the head of The Nine Network (or Channel 9 as its more common name) was watching the show at home rang up the station and said and I quote "Get that shit off the air!".

I can remember watching old VHS tapes as a child, a cartoon called The Fluppy Dogs a number of times. It was created by Disney and was intended to be made into an animated series but was axed after it's pilot episode; which aired on Thanksgiving 1986 due to underwhelming ratings. I very much liked this cartoon as a child.

I've heard the legend of "Turn On" for years and it's intriguing to finally see some clips from it. There was a show on Comedy Central in the early/mid 90's that look very similar to the clips shown, a bunch of random short sketches against a white background. The only sketch I remember is a group of guys dressed up as a rock band yelling "are you ready to rock" with a response from the audience of "no, give us 5 more minutes." I only watch parts of maybe a couple episodes and think it lasted maybe 6-8.

Battle Toads later aired weekdays at 5A either on TBS or TNT for while. They would play that, old Transformers, and some other 80's stuff.

Hugh Jackman was better off trying to do a TV version of the Broadway musical he did in between the X-Men movies. At least before Les Miserables and Greatest Showman, anyway.

This list is for tv-shows, that where cancelled after first episode. Viva Laughlin was cancelled after that shows second episode.

"Why not adapt ANOTHER video game into a cartoon"... Uhhh... TMNT was a comic before anything. And I am pretty sure TMNT was adapted into a cartoon (1987) before they were adapted into a video game (1989). Do your homework.

I remember seeing Bubsy and Battle Toads with a few other shows one a one time program called "Kid's Day Off." I think it aired on Spring Break one year. And Hiel Honey I'm Home sounds more like something you would have seen on SNL or MadTV. Something to parody both Sitcom troupes and lack of creativity in TV networks.

Watching this show casually on in the background when I suddenly hear ''Pak de Poen'' ''Wait was that Dutch?'' *rewinds* ''Yup that was Dutch'' *this belgian tv show* ah that explains a lot.

The worst thing is that Bubsy was basically a copy of Sonic XD (thematically speaking: p)

I would have included "Pryde of the X-Men" since that was a failed pilot later retooled as a better series.

failed pilot is not the same thing as "having been canceled" (which this list was about) , Pryde of the X-Men, was simply not picked up as a series.

@@chrismeulen8108 but it did air on tv, just like Bubsy and Battletoads

I remember Hasselhoff premiering opposite the O J freeway chase.

There was this Australian show, Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos that aired back in 1992. It was supposed to be a one off show with a view to making more, but less than half way through the show they went to an ad break and some other show started after the ads. Turns out the owner of the network , Australia's richest man, Kerry Packer, call them and ordered that they take the show off air.

Reporter, "are you an addict." Mayor, " No." Reporter, "have you tried crack." Mayor. " probably in one of my drunken stupor." That is classic.

Battletoads and Bubsy had a TV show????

Mm-hmm. Too bad these animated shows didn't last long.

There was also the "Mad Scientist", that, among other things, in the intro had what looked like a girl with a lightbulb for a head. Not joking.

Public Morals did get multiple episodes aired outside the US, like down here in New Zealand. I don't remember much about the show now, but did see some of the eps. It was kind of a spin-off of NYPD Blue, with Bill Brochtrup reprising his role as John Irvin. A sitcom spin-off of NYPD Blue is a bonkers concept in itself. The show quickly died and Brochtrup just went back to NYPD Blue. One of the other stars, Peter Gerety, moved over to Homicide: Life On The Street...maybe my favorite drama series ever.

I'm gonna look up cop rock now lol

THEY TRIPPIN!!!! Battletoads looks awesome

I had that Battletoads VHS. I remember wanting to see the rest of the series but never came across another VHS. It all makes sense now 😂

What’s strange is that many of these shows especially Dot Comedy and Heil Honey I’m Home (refer to Jojo Rabbit and how it’s was actually liked) this gives credence to the notion that some shows truly were ahead of their time.

Actually some of those shows look pretty good and I kind of wish I had gotten to see them like secret talents of the stars that actually looks better than dancing with the Stars. And coed fever actually looks real good. I'm actually surprised that they didn't try making it after they saw that facts of Life took off because it could have been to fact of life what Webster was to different Strokes.

Technically trapper John md was a spin-off of the movie MASH, not the tv show

"Tagteam", a police actioncomedy serie with Jesse Ventura and Roddy Piper. Only the pilot were shown of that one, justifiedly so i might add. ;)

I'm calling it. "Heil Honey, I'm Home" is gonna be on this list. It was a sitcom about Hitler living a normal life.
