One-Episode Wonder	comment	There are two types of shows that last for a single episode — the ones that are immediately canned, and those that never get picked up in the first place. The former category, while rare, should be easy to explain: if a show gets extremely negative reviews, poor ratings, or contains controversial content without enough redeeming value to be worth dealing with the media watchdogs, it's likely it'll die a quick death without anyone caring. The most it might get is a sense of confusion that anyone thought the idea would work in the first place. However, the second is just as intriguing. Most television pilots are poor-to-middling in quality, and this is to be expected: a network wouldn't greenlight a program if they thought it was terrible. But occasionally, a pilot episode manages to find its way to the general public and is beloved by many who watch it... leaving audiences wondering how a show with such an awesome premise, brilliant writing, superb casting, and/or just an overall excellent execution got rejected. Podcasts such as Dead Pilots Society and Canceled Too Soon are good starting places if you wish to dive into the world of rejected pilots. See also The Shelf of Movie Languishment, Poorly Disguised Pilot, Failed Pilot Episode and Audience-Alienating Premise; compare to Orphaned Series. Not to be confused with One-Scene Wonder. For characters who appear in only one episode of a series, see One-Shot Character. Some series make it past the first episode but not much further; that goes under Short-Runners. The Other Wiki has a pair of articles on the subject (one covering shows cancelled after one episode, and another covering shows canceled before even having one airing).

Featured Paul Giamatti as a Steampunk robot who fights paranormal forces at the behest of the Lincoln administration, with David Hyde-Pierce as his arch nemesis, Emperor Zombie. The Sci-Fi Channel actually had an online poll to gauge interest, but despite being very well-received it somehow never made it, possibly due to low numbers (ignoring how hard it is to promote a one-off pilot or attract word-of-mouth).

The pilot was written by Jenji Kohan, whom you might know better as the creator of Weeds. When the pilot wasn't picked up, fans of the duo petitioned Showtime to air it, which they did in the dead of a cold December night. This isn't the only Jenji Kohan series to have never gone past the pilot stage. One year later, Epix decided to pass on picking up her pilot Tough Trade due to budget and the company not liking the pilot. It has yet to be leaked.

It is actually only one of several failed attempts to adapt the series, but seems to be the only one that has a full pilot episode widely available to the public, with another, separate pilot only available as a few short clips found from various sources.

One-Episode Wonder / int_41104723	comment	Turn-On: A 1969 ABC Sketch Comedy, slated to be a more sexually-charged, political version of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, from the same producers (who claimed that Turn-On was more reflective of their original concept for Laugh-In), which became probably the biggest fiasco in American television history up to that point. Tim Conway (the Special Guest on the single aired episode) recalled the show's cancellation rolling across the country the night it premiered as TV stations towards the west realized what was playing in the east and took preemptive measures. The Denver and Cleveland affiliates failed to return to the show after the first commercial break (a sketch of a woman trying to get a pack of birth control pills out of a vending machine supposedly being the last straw), replacing it with a documentary on gun safety, while other affiliates either banned the episode from airing, or aired the entire episode and never reran it, with ABC refusing to air the second episode (guest-starring Robert Culp) despite it being completed and ready for air. The prolific Hamilton Camp was one of the cast members. The Paley Center in New York has both episodes, and producer George Schlatter uploaded them both to YouTube in 2023.

Similar in concept to Jonny Quest, it followed the Payne family, consisting of an adventurous super-inventor and his daughter. There are several reasons why it didn't get aired, most notably the unfortunate timing of the September 11th terrorist attacks, when one of the action scenes sees a blimp nearly crashes into a twin-towered building. Creator Micah Wright's attempts to unionize the studio under the Writer's Guild of America instead of The Animation Guild, when the studio was already in the midst of talks with the latter, also resulted in bad blood that killed all hopes of the network greenlighting the project.

It aired on TV only once, but the episode's plot was considered so meandering and Reference Overdosed at the expense of story that the executives canned it. Its director considered it such an Old Shame (even he didn't know what he was referencing when he made it) that he swore off anime completely and actively tries to suppress the entire medium's popularity when he becomes a school's principal.

There was a change of network management while the pilot was in production, which is almost always death to a pilot even if the new executives like the project — and these didn't. Several months after the project was axed, the pilot was leaked onto BitTorrent networks to tremendous acclaim; rather than recognize this as a sign of the show's potential, the network used it as grounds to deny the pilot a proper airing or DVD release on the grounds that anybody who might have wanted to see it had already.

It was slaughtered by critics so much that the following week's episode instead featured Gleason delivering a self-deprecating "apology", poking fun at the show and his past failures. Gleason's apology is considered one of the premier mea culpas of the television age; CBS would let Gleason ride out the rest of his contract by replacing it with an informal interview series (The Jackie Gleason Show), and followed it up in 1962 with the more successful American Scene Magazine.

The show was originally going to be on Nickelodeon, but the network rejected it. Soon after, the pilot was then pitched to Cartoon Network, only to be rejected there as well. Despite rumors that Disney Channel would pick it up next, it never truly caught on though it still has a small cult following. The pilot can be found here or, in case the link dies out, as a download.

The second episode was crushed when ER returned with new episodes. It might have survived as a prestige series in other times, but ABC was in a period of artificially high ratings expectations due to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.

It never went beyond the pilot stage due to Columbia threatening to cancel the trio's short subjects contract and sue them if they tried to sell the series — a stipulation in the contract said that they couldn't perform in a TV series that could compete with their theatrical shorts. As a compromise, Columbia sold a package of 30 shorts to ABC, leading to the first-ever broadcast of Three Stooges shorts on television.

CBS rewrites the script so extensively that it becomes Class Holes!, a sitcom starring James Woods attending college alongside his daughter. It airs only one episode due to very low ratings. Peter pitches a show called Handiquacks and almost gets it on air — but when an executive proposes a very minor change to one of the characters, Peter immediately pulls the plug and quits, turning down thousands of dollars to preserve his pride — even after the executive relents and agrees not to change anything. In "PTV", Peter creates the titular channel filled with uncensored content. One of them is a parody of Jackass called Douchebags. He poops on top of a bridge which lands on Lois's car.

One-Episode Wonder / int_ebee316b	comment	The American version of Red Dwarf didn't survive past a single pilot episode that never made it to air. Notable for casting Terry Farrell (of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fame) as a female version of Cat, a pre-Frasier Jane Leeves as the computer Holly and Robert Llewellyn reprising his role of Kryten from the original British series. Because of Executive Meddling late in the production, multiple actor recastings and other problems, British series footage had to be used to fill in the holes in the episode. A brand-new higher-quality Kryten suit was made for the pilot which Llewellyn was allowed to keep and re-use in further British seasons following the American cancellation. There were actually two Red Dwarf USA pilots. The first was a full pilot, with Hinton Battle as Cat; the second was more of a five-minute promo reel which mixed scenes from the UK version, the first USA pilot, and some new material (the only appearance of Terry Farrell as Cat is one of these).
