Aside from Martin, Living Single, NY Undercover, Arrested Development, Xfiles, Firefly, Futurama, Malcolm in the Middle, and a few episodes of Boston Public, I won't miss any of that.

Ouch.

The interesting part of this list is that aside from a handful of successful/long-running series (like "24" and The X-Files) most of the shows on this list never made it past the first season. I'd be curious to see a list like this for all primetime networks.

listen to the mad man
There are at least a few omissions. Ally McBeal is listed, but the syndicated and remixed 30 minute version of the show (just called "Ally") is not listed. Lawless (the Brian Bosworth PI show which lasted one episode) is not listed. I'd have to check my TV encyclopedia for more of them--you can debate stuff like America's Most Wanted or Family Guy which got cancelled, and got revived (AMW premiered before the Simpsons, got cancelled in the mid-90s, got revived, and now has been pseudo-cancelled again).

I'd say you could get to at least 250.

Probably one of the best/worst ideas for a sitcom ever. I loved old Fox. We got three seasons of shit like Herman's Head.

*checks Wikipedia* Oh wow.
Woops! is an American post-apocalyptic sitcom

...

The series centered around the six survivors of a world nuclear holocaust.

...

Episode 6: Curtis becomes devastated after the loss of his necktie. When it is found again, it makes him believe he is in the year 1986, before the nuclear holocaust happened.

You picked that episode instead of
Christmas is approaching, but it is not the same as the nuclear holocaust has ruined much of the world's evergreen tree population. While cleaning out the chimney, the group finds Santa Claus has visited the group, but appears depressed. He later reveals to the group that he is suffering survivor's guilt as his workshop at the North Pole had a fallout shelter, but the door slammed shut and Mrs. Claus and all the elves were unable to get inside. Stuart Pankin guest starred as Santa.

There was a thread a while back on "the worst shows of all time" that covered basically all of these, and MAN were there some doozies in there.

Fox was terrible in it's early years, but early UPN was just as bad if not worse.

They forgot the John Leguizamo sketch show House of Buggin'.

Don't worry, everyone else did as well.

Yes. Chris Elliott is an acquired taste. I can agree with that much.

This is pretty damn funny, though. No?

True, though Eagleheart is awesome. The first episode is so hilariously messed-up you feel bad about laughing at the ending.

"FOX shows"
Between Brothers (1997–1998 Fox) -> Moved to UPN
Futurama (Fox 1999-2003) -> Cancelled for a long time, then moved to Comedy Central
Sightings (1992–1998 Fox) -> I have no idea where this went, I thought it was first run syndication
Sliders (1995–1998 Fox) -> Sci-Fi
Stargate Infinity (Fox 2002–2003) -> This was just cancelled, not sure why it's listed as cancelled on FOX
The Critic (Fox 1994–1995) -> This was the other way around; it was moved from ABC to FOX
The Simple Life (2003–2005 Fox) -> E!

Also proof that they just copied this list off Wikipedia:
Wild Oats (1994)[4]

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
The Critic was absolutely hilarious. So sad it got cancelled so soon.
