Whenever a television series makes it to air, it’s all due to the pilot episode. The pilot is the way a show is pitched to a network once they decide to pony up the dough to make it. If they do well with test audiences, a network will then have the choice of either picking up a series or dumping it and never letting it get to air. This happens all the time in Hollywood and dozens of pilots are made each year you never got to see.
Then there are those pilots that the network feels would make a great series so they pick them up for air. You have seen the results of these in every television series that has aired, but occasionally, a pilot episode will do so poorly or offend audiences so viscerally, the network has no choice but to cancel the series.
Normally, this occurs after a season, or at least, after a few episodes have aired. For this list, we are focusing on television series that aired their first pilot episode to the public but were then immediately canceled by the network. Don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard of any of these… frankly, you shouldn’t have unless you were unlucky enough to watch.
