10 NBC Shows That Were Canceled Too Soon
NBC has quite the track record when it comes to giving its shows an early axe. Here are just 10 notable examples.
1. Freaks and Geeks: Although NBC canceled the coming-of-age drama after 12 episodes of its first season, it is now considered one of the best teen TV dramas ever made, accurately portraying the complexities of being a teenager in the 1980s.
2. Bent: Despite its brief six-episode run due to poor ratings, Bent is an underrated sitcom that explores romance and humor in a kitchen renovation setting, starring Amanda Peet and David Walton.
3. Constantine: NBC didn't renew the occult detective series Constantine for a second season in 2015, but it remains an underrated horror show with a great cast, including Matt Ryan, who later appeared in the Arrowverse.
4. Found: NBC ended the crime drama Found due to a viewership drop in Season 2 and a shift towards sports programming, but the show found success on Netflix and is praised for its blend of procedural storytelling and psychological thriller elements.
5. Eerie, Indiana: This short-lived 1991 series tackled supernatural mysteries in a small-town setting, featuring young protagonists Marshall Teller and Simon Holmes investigating strange occurrences, and is considered a daring show for its target audience.
