Too Good to Last	comment	An intelligent, well written show, usually a subtle blend of comedy and drama, beloved of a devoted group of fans and critics. So why did it never have a chance? Either the mainstream isn't interested or the network never even gives it a chance to build an audience. Or the creator buckles under the growing pressure to keep making high-quality installments. Sometimes, someone high up at the network takes a dislike to the show and does everything in his power to kill it. Other times, the network doesn't think it fits in. If the show is lucky enough to be shown on a cable network in reruns, it may build up a bigger following there than it ever had in its first run. The observant reader will note that the vast majority of Too Good To Last shows are from the last 15-20 years. This is likely because of the increased emphasis on ratings above all else. On the other hand, the list might be biased toward the past decade because shows like this have an unfortunate tendency to fall off the face of the earth upon cancellation, so our ability to recall and report them is inversely proportional to how long ago they aired. The advent of The Internet and the explosion of cable channels has made it harder for these too-soon canceled shows to be forgotten. There's always been an emphasis on ratings in television, but it seems to have become much more pronounced since the early 1990s. It is widely commented upon that Cheers was dead last in the ratings among all regular series in its first season (1982-83), and that a show doing that badly today would almost certainly be canceled within its first month or two. This isn't necessarily a new phenomenon, but some shows only survive by having a network president who is a fan. For those shows that manage to pull out a few seasons with plenty of network problems before going under, check out the Exception section at the bottom of this page. The main entries are about shows that barely managed to get out a single season, if that. Incidentally, some shows end up canceled only to be Un-Canceled by the network or do a Channel Hop. Of the exceptions and shows that were Un-Canceled, only a handful were aired on non-cable networks. A series that is Too Good To Last may have better chances on cable than on broadcast networks, in part because cable doesn't demand ratings as high in the first place for the show to be considered a success. Unfortunately, the fans are only rarely told what would have happened next, because the now unemployed/transferred writers will generally want to recycle their unused ideas into their next job. Related Tropes Contrast with: Long-Runners, where a show can last for a long time. British Brevity, where a show was always intended to have a short run. Seasonal Rot, when the duration of the show has far overstayed its welcome. Franchise Zombie, where the show goes past the time creators wanted to, and its quality may suffer as a result. Compare with: Awesomeness Withdrawal, a feeling often accompanying this. Cut Short: When a series suddenly gets canned, even though there were clearly more plans for the ongoing plot. Second Season Downfall, where a show is permitted to keep going but subsequently proves to have used up most of its potential in that first season. Short-Lived, Big Impact: Something or someone is only around a short time, but their impact can still be felt today. Stillborn Franchise, a franchise ends quickly even though more installments are planned, although it's sometimes not that good to begin with. The Firefly Effect, where viewers refuse to commit to a show out of the fear or assumption that its cancellation is imminent. Too Cool to Live, when this happens to people. Possible causes: Friday Night Death Slot Executive Meddling They Changed It, Now It Sucks! Screwed by the Network Shows that are Too Good To Last can be Short-Runners, but sometimes they are longer.

Too Good to Last / int_10104627	comment	Da Vinci's City Hall: A Sequel Series to Da Vinci's Inquest (one of the highest-rated and most critically-acclaimed series to ever air in the network's history), City Hall moved the title character (and former coroner) Dominic Da Vinci from the medical office to the political field. The show was critically acclaimed (and unusually continuity-heavy) - critics and some viewers loved it, but others tuned out, and the network dumped it after a single season (with many loose ends still remaining).

However, Cookie Jar decided to place it on one of their Syndication packages in October 2010. However, it was short-lived, as it was off the air AGAIN after only one season due to Cookie Jar cancelling its Syndication deals!

Too Good to Last / int_1bdab048	comment	Nova had Jeff Loveness and Ramon Perez's run on the series. After years of Broken Base due to Sam Alexander helming the title instead of Richard Rider, this run finally had the two meet and acknowledged their similarities and differences, highlighting them through different styles of storytelling and humour — Richard dealt with his PTSD and feeling disconnected from the superhero community, while Sam dealt with his changing high school life and learned about the wider Cosmic side of Marvel. And the two's interaction was very well-received, with Richard taking on a mentor position and surrogate father for Sam. And Loveness being a comedian, there was some good humour thrown in as well, which not only added levity, but also highlighted the different characters that Richard and Sam were. It was a series that was loved by critics and readers... those who read it. It didn't sell well, and unfortunately was cancelled after only one arc.

To add salt in the wound, the show's cancellation was announced shortly after it won an Emmy for most Outstanding Children's Program. In this case, it would seem that the show's high quality was something of a double-edged sword; it was very expensive to produce but didn't quite draw in enough viewers to justify the cost.

It was very well received and even won an award, "Special Mention for the Best Science Fiction Program".

Too Good to Last / int_20fe03ad	comment	Double Arts was an engrossing and fun manga that thumbed its nose at loads of the problematic stereotypes of its genre in wonderful ways and was obviously gearing up for an Ancient Conspiracy plot...and was cut down in its infancy by low ratings, with barely enough time for the artist to sketch out an ending with a little closure. An example of Screwed by the Demographic — Double Arts was a more trope-defying Shonen series in a magazine that usually aims for the 12-18 demographic. Creator Naoshi Komi would have better luck with his later work, the romantic comedy Nisekoi.

What made it worse is that the game's story sets things up for a sequel at the end, with Cath presumably on his way to Jerusalem to get a look at a mysterious manuscript. Though Interplay re-released it for a brief period before going bankrupt, and Gametap now has it available, it is highly unlikely anyone will ever make a sequel. Not to mention the fact that it was one of the few good games, at the time, to feature multiple endings.

The promotion had been fraught with questionable management, constant issues with talent over contract negotiations, and budgets spiralling out of control, leaving it in a place where it really wasn't sustainable enough to last, where even executive producer Eric van Wagenen commented that had they gotten a fifth year, the promotion still would've required a major reboot just to stay fiscally coherent.

It had high production values and was filmed on location in the UK, and did very well in the ratings when it first aired. However, it coincided with Ross Peron campaigning for the presidency, and he bought the show's timeslot. The disruption to the schedule meant it suffered in the ratings department, and its high production costs led to it being cancelled after only seven episodes had aired (with thirteen produced).

Too Good to Last / int_5b03acf9	comment	LEGO Universe, an MMO where you play as mini-figures and build your own contraptions? This took off pretty well and many enjoyed it, but it had to deal with some very uphill challenges based on its pitch as a kid-targeted MMO, from difficulties in keeping a child-friendly tone (the freedom to create so much made it easy for troublemakers to challenge the limits of creating obscene content, no doubt putting massive strain on moderators) to the concept itself being a fairly tough sell (their target audience had no disposable income and had to convince their parents to pay for a monthly subscription to play the game). Following disappointing revenue numbers and attempts to re-stimulate the playerbase with Freemium elements being met with lukewarm results, LEGO lost faith in the project and pulled the plug in less than two years. With the benefit of hindsight, many critics argue that LEGO might have actually given up too soon as during its production and twilight, Minecraft — another family-friendly quasi-MMO with heavy emphasis on creation — was rapidly becoming the biggest phenomenon in gaming and living proof that there was a lucrative market for what LEGO Universe stood for. Many are convinced that it would have seen a major renaissance had LEGO just hold out a little longer, especially since the developers were still working on new content and had plans for the long-term before they got the axe.

Despite being one of the most popular Disney shows in recent years and being hailed as one of the best cartoons of the early 2020s, Disney decided to abruptly cancel it during its second season due to it "not fitting the Disney brand" (either due to its dark nature or, as many people have theorized, the lead character being bisexual and entering a same-sex relationship). Although it technically got a third season, it was just divided up into three 45-minute specials.

Too Good to Last / int_694b2794	comment	Barrage was cancelled after only 16 chapters despite a promising start. It's often used by anime and manga fans as an example of the cutthroat environment of the manga business, particularly its requirement for a series to hit the ground running, that a well-liked series like Barrage could not find a general enough audience to last. All was not lost for author and illustrator Kouhei Horikoshi, though, as his next attempt, My Hero Academia, became the big hit of 2014 and got an anime adaptation beginning in 2016.

Sadly, consistently keeping the series and figures rolling wound up being too expensive of an endeavor for Disney Interactive to take.

Even then, the final game ends with a cliffhanger. In addition, this cancellation also meant that the extra games, including those that went into detail about the events between the second and third game, would not leave Japan.

Too Good to Last / int_984982f6	comment	The Ogre Battle series was intended to be a seven-episode game series, but only episodes V, VII, and VI (released in that order) were made. Yasumi Matsuno, the series' creator, left Quest during the development of Ogre Battle 64 to work for Squaresoft, where he worked on Final Fantasy Tactics. Even after Square Enix purchased Quest, he refused to work on any Ogre Battle, choosing to concentrate on the so-called "Ivalice series". Now that Matsuno left Square Enix, it seems unlikely we'll ever see any of the first five Ogre Battle episodes. It might be on its way to revival, however, with the announcement of a remake of Tactics Ogre headed by Yasumi Matsuno himself. Keep your fingers crossed!

The reason, according to this FAQ from tv.com, is there was "little to no interest both from the investorsâ€™ and the producerâ€™s side" to continue the series. Coincidentally, Greg Weisman was brought on board for the second season which was widely regarded as an improvement over the first. Check the man's page to see how the network has regularly treated him like a two dollar call girl.

It used (and used well) characters that were utterly wasted in their original incarnations, promised to elevate more◊, and was met with almost universally positive reviews. So of course it was only given a 10-issue run, forcing authors Chris Sims and Chad Bower to condense promising plots and kill off characters early for the sake of wrapping everything up by the tenth issue.

Despite setting a new standard for thought-provoking plots and dialogue, these successes meant gameplay was traded off and resulted in the series' silent downfall, with the most recent game, 2003's Defiance, selling below expectations and without real resolution, and a potential sequel, The Dark Prophecy, quickly became Vaporware. Adding the fact that the head writer for the series is now working for Naughty Dog and the voice of the series' Big Bad is dead, and you can tell they're not going to put out another game any time soon.

Too Good to Last / int_b4fe32c9	comment	Invader Zim: Executive Meddling was the culprit here—the network hired a comic artist best known for a series called Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, but were unprepared for the series' dark humor. Contrary to popular belief, it was canceled due to low ratings, not that the Black Comedy helped any. The low ratings were likely a result of Executive Meddling. The show didn't have a consistent time slot (much like another sci-fi cartoon which coincidentally featured Zim's original voice actor Billy West). New episode releases were also inconsistent. In addition, Invader Zim was a very expensive show to make, meaning it would require either a major merchandise push (unlikely, considering the show was run by an underground comic book writer) or stellar ratings to remain profitable.

Dino Crisis 2 took the series in a new direction, which made it something of a Contested Sequel, but Dino Crisis 3 turned out to be a Franchise Killer, much to the dismay of fans of the previous titles. No sequels have ever been announced since then.

A January debut, it handily won its Sunday night timeslot and ranked 29th in the Nielsens for the 1979-80 season but its early ratings momentum didn't last — ABC gave up on it come the end of March and burnt off the last five episodes in early summer, mostly in a Friday Night Death Slot to boot. Received a full DVD release in The New '10s thanks to both a loyal cult fanbase and Goldblum's subsequent stardom.

Rumor has it that it's because it attracted the wrong kind of audience: while it was popular with adults and female viewers, it didn't attract the 6-11 year old male crowd the executives wanted to court (as they're usually the main buyers of toys). However, the series was revived on the DC Universe streaming service in 2018 after support from the fans and creators and the show's popularity on Netflix. It was later moved to HBO Max.

Too Good to Last / int_bfdf347c	comment	The Flash (Infinite Frontier) by Jeremy Adams launched to little hype in 2021 as part of the DC Infinite Frontier initiative, with the only buzz coming from the series opening with an arc starring Wally West, the third Flash, who had been underutilised and mistreated in the years prior. It even downplayed its focus on Wally, advertising its first arc as Wally's final adventure before retiring, but ended up starring him for its entire duration. Readers very quickly warmed to the run, thanks to it providing a natural evolution for Wally (even using some of the recent maligned stories for Character Development), re-establishing the Flash Family, developing characters that were previously underutilised, and being a wholesome series about Wally being a suburban dad and superhero. When it was announced that Jeremy Adams' run would be ending to make way for The Flash (Dawn of DC) in 2023, the overwhelming reaction was sadness that the run was ending so soon.

Unfortunately we'll never know how it would've panned out as it was cancelled after just one season, with low live viewership ratings being cited as a reason, along with competition from other shows sharing the timeslot; fans campaigned hard to save the show (aiming for either a renewal or being picked by another network) but were unsuccessful.

It became a Cult Classic (it helped that the brief run made it a natural for a VHS release) and six years later received a big screen Spin-Off with The Naked Gun, which did well enough to yield two sequels. CBS even reran the show in the summer of 1991 to promote the first sequel.

The team began the season on a very impressive foot, with some of the most unconventional and bizarrely effective strategies ever seen in professional League of Legends, but a mere two weeks into the season, LS was suddenly released from the team and replaced for undisclosed reasons (the public announcement came minutes before the team entered the stage for their next game, and LS himself had only been informed of his release a mere few hours prior), deemed by the international community as a contender for the most abrupt and anticlimactic end to one of its most exciting developments in not just professional League, but esports in general.

Too Good to Last / int_dfe2de51	comment	Advent Rising, featuring a story written by science fiction god Orson Scott Card. The game was planned from the get-go to be a trilogy, but like Psychonauts, was pushed out the door too quickly by Majesco (who was facing bankruptcy at the time). The result was an unpolished and glitchy (albeit still playable) game. When given just a month to polish it for the rerelease of the game on PC, the average ratings jumped a considerable amount. The game ended on the definition of a cliffhanger, and the original team (who had long since left Majesco, and were bought by Epic) has expressed interest in finishing the trilogy, but Majesco won't release the rights to them. They're too busy with Cooking Mama I guess... And who could forget the terrible marketing ploy they used to sell copies of their unfinished game? The main selling point of the game was an in-game contest where players had to find a symbol in one of the levels. Whoever found the symbol first and submitted undeniable proof to the developers would win a large sum of money. Cue a crafty player finding the symbol, sending the proof, then having the developers back out.

Too Good to Last / int_efaeff60	comment	Titan Maximum, despite being a ratings juggernaut when it first aired (often beating out new episodes of The Venture Brothers, [adult swim]'s most popular original show), was unceremoniously canned when creator Seth Green stated he'd rather focus his time and effort to his Cash-Cow Franchise, Robot Chicken. Some fans may tell you that the subpar-at-best fifth season of that show (with steadily-slipping ratings to match) may be Laser-Guided Karma at its finest.

Too Good to Last / int_f31d7d98	comment	Drawn Together was cancelled because the cost to produce it was too high and Comedy Central wasn't making much profit. They took a break halfway through season 3, making fans believe that the second half was the fourth season. The show has a very loyal fanbase and a cult following. It did get a movie that at least wrapped up the show, albeit having to use Flash animation the creator paid for out of their own pocket (and showing they were very bitter about the whole situation.).

Too Good to Last / int_f3c05e22	comment	Twelve Forever was received well for its realistic handling of the ups and downs of growing up, the number of LGBTQ+ characters in the cast (including its lesbian main character), and the hints at a darker storyline down the road. However, the show suffered a string of bad luck (Invisible Advertising, its animation studio closing down, and the creator and former show runner being outed as a pedophile) that ultimately lead to it not getting a second season.

After the tanking of The Jay Leno Show in prime time that fall, which negatively affected ratings for both NBC affiliates' local news broadcasts and The Tonight Show, an attempt to bring Leno back to late night and retain Conan's show in a later time slot resulted in a very public controversy that ended with Conan leaving NBC altogether and Leno returning to his old stomping grounds.

Sadly, ABC fell out of love with the show as quickly as they fell in love with it. It was canceled after the network tried to air the show on primetime after moving it from 11:30 PM to midnight.

Too Good to Last / int_f7661425	comment	The Other Kingdom only had a single season consisting of 20 episodes, although the show had still attracted a decent amount of fans who lamented the series' abrupt cancellation —in no small part due to the show's lack of a Laugh Track, endearing characters, complex lore it was setting up, and even a subplot surrounding humanity's relationship with technology and nature, which was a very important message at the time — and still is today. The series particularly garnered attention with the big reveals in its second half about Tristan being a prince and Devon a half-fairy and Astral's cousin leaving the show on a massive cliffhanger. The show was intended to have a 4-season run, according to interviews with the creator. Needless to say, the fanbase was not happy about the story not getting a proper resolution.

The Alternators continue to rack up impressive sums of money on eBay, though, and they are pretty sweet.
