Remember "Failure Playhouse"? Well, that wasn't the name, but this time of year, the networks would show the pilots that didn't make it to series. Back then, I'd read the TV Guide regularly, on the lookout for shows to watch, and you'd see a new show and read the description that ended "Not on (network)'s announced Fall schedule." Ken Levine writes about some of these lost gems. I agree with one commenter that one network should have a show where the viewers pick a show to run on that network. It could be a six-week thing, run as what they used to call the "Summertime replacement series", whatever. It'd be a show I'd watch.
