Fun fact about some of these shows getting silently canceled during the "baseball finals" is that the 2006 World Series (hosted by Fox) is also one of the lowest-rated World Series since baseball came to television (because literally no one cared about the 2 teams outside of the 2 cities they played for).
That's some pretty delicious cosmic irony right there.
I barely payed attention to Fox's 2006 season because I thought that 'American Idol' had such A firm grip on the network that no scripted show would stand A chance against it. So for me, there was no hope for Fox in my eyes. It was no longer the network known for 'Married With Children', The Simpsons', and 'In Living Color' anymore, but where shows get crushed by 'American Idol', or 'Kitchen Nightmares'. So I moved onto cable, and streaming, but even that wouldn't last long.
It’s funny how you mentioned American Idol. While editing the video, I found an AD that combined ‘Til Death with American Idol, as ‘Til Death’s Season 1 Finale aired just before. It’s at 17:39 of this video.
I wasn't watching Fox in 2006. American Idol turned me off to Fox. That & how crappy the Simpsons had gotten. So all these failed shows I don't remember, but I am somewhat familiar with Til Death, only cause I vaguely remember seeing ads for it, & it was being shown in reruns, for years afterwards.
I was only watching Fox on Sunday by that point. That was the only network TV I was watching at all except for the final Bob Barker season of *The Price is Right.*
*Family Guy* coming back made the shitsons even more irrelevant than they had already become.
Yay, I'm glad you've gone back to this! I have a weird fondness for failed sitcoms, there's almost something liminal about these brief glimpses into an unrealized world.
Eh, not as liminal as the Saban Moon pilot.
I plan to make similar videos about Freaks and Geeks, because that is a well-regarded cult classic that tried and failed to be a "dramedy" and Imaginary Mary because that is a live-action-CG animated hybrid that websites for watching cartoons are still willing to preserve even though most of it is live-action, like Mary Poppins, the Supernatural episode Scoobynatural, Christoper Robin, Mary Poppins Returns, and The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder.
Same here
I do, too, considering how some of the access ones are now tainted by sleaze and scandal, and sometimes it is fun to wonder what could’ve been if certain failed concepts had been done right. It’s also interesting to consider that some flops flopping pave the way for future successes.
“Imaginary Mary” is not a thing and is a form of confession through projection as she is just the yt girl cover version of Uncle Remus and not even a good one at that!
I just recently discovered a vhs tape full of recordings from fox in 2006.
@LC_Games I don't think so but I am hoping to have it on the archive soon.
Any Family Guy?
@@ArtieArchives Yes in fact there was one family guy episode
@@GINTegg Probably a season 4 episode
I was recording on DVD by that point. I just hope my home recordings have stood the test of time since I left them at my parents’ house when I moved out of it.
I remember watching Til Death quite a bit in reruns as a kid. I thought it was alright. The rest of these shows I don't remember.
You are in luck, MM. You can now watch the other 5 episodes of The Winner after the pilot because Ben Simon has recovered them for us. Thank you so much, Cartoon Man Central!
Lorne michaels said in the Kids of the Hall doc.... if you get greenlit for a season 3 there is usually always a season 4. For the reason you said. Its an investment. and Til Death this runs on TV around here
I remember Justice. I actually liked it. I honestly only remember watching two or three episodes, and it was gone. It may have been a law and order "inspired" show but I really was into crime and courtroom dramas, still am. Since I was kind of young, I just thought I missed all of the season and not that it was moved to another time slot.
I loved it. Found the show on UA-cam and rewatched it. I love the premise. Start with the defendant being arrested and lawyers starting the spin. Going through building the defense, trial, then verdict. Then you get what actually happened. You get to be jury member and find out if your verdict was the right choice.
These Seven Shows are FOX’s Seven Deadly Sins
They are still here now.
What happened with Fox during the 2006 Television Seasons is a lesson on what Networks shouldn't do.
Didn’t realize things were that for fox in 2006
I don’t know if I asked you this, but what software do you use to edit these videos?
@@CJBStudios He doesn’t.
@@HispanicToddendale oh, I thought he was somebody else. Sorry.
Because even in spite of all of this, they still had the biggest show on television in the midst of its absolute peak (I’m like 90% certain 2006 was the American Idol season that got the biggest ratings of its entire run)
I know this is random but I'd love to see you do a video on either King Of Queens or Family Matters. Those are some of my favorite sitcoms that I don't think you have talked about yet.
look up UA-camr “Vee Infuso” he’s got a video for every season and damn near every character for Family Matters. Haha
Hey, since you’re officially done talking about _Ren & Stimpy_ , are you going to make a playlist on all the videos you’ve done covering it?
This is great! I know we both think alike; if some videos were not interesting enough to pass 100 views in its first month or its first year, we re-edit and re-post that video one year later to give our new audience of more subscribers a chance to see a better, more streamlined version of it.
This video already has more views than ALL of his previous videos on the same subject.
@@KawikaProductions Yay! I knew this would happen after he got 30,000 subscribers. When he made all of these videos, he had less than 1,000 subscribers.
I bet there are ABC pilot demo VHS/DVDs somewhere out there from 2001, since I have an on-off interest towards the failed pilot of an American version of a British miniseries called "Metropolis", which tells the story of the lives of a group of friends after graduating from college. One of the reasons why is because Michael E. Rodgers, the actor of C. Junior in the children's film "Thomas and the Magic Railroad", played Nate, a stalker-with-a-crush type of character who loves one of the protagonists, and I did end up finding a full script (but I forgot where I found it), but very little info and no footage was found, and it was confused with an anime film with the same name.
I wouldn't know. I was too busy watching football.
Once again, thank you so much for letting me edit this video.
I don’t know if I asked you this, but what software do you use to edit these videos?
@@CJBStudiosPremiere Pro
@@KawikaProductions That’s pretty cool.
Do you happen to know what's the name of the song used for 7:45 - 9:55?
No Rich List? That’s unironically my favorite dropped pilot of all time.
The 2006 Screener DVD didn’t have “Rich List”. But wow, I cannot imagine being canceled after a single airing.
Most likely the reason it wasn’t on the screener dvd is because it’s a game show and not a narrative based show, for some reason networks don’t like putting non-reality game shows on home media or streaming.
I remember brother from "Everybody Loves Raymond" and the guy from "American Pie" show. In my coutry we have side channels that buy those shows and air it. Cant say a lot about the rest but now I want to see "The Winner" lol
You can find all the episodes on UA-cam
standoff sounds like every new cop show today!
Wait a minute, in episode 3 of the Extra-Cast, you said this to Billy when talking about _The Winner_ :
“If you put on ‘From the creator of _Family Guy_ ,’ it’d be a lie because Ricky Blitt was the number 1 dude.”
So does that mean Ricky actually created the show? Because Billy said he came up with the concept and Seth McFarlane was an afterthought.
Please expand on this.
''till Death really was a crazy case
Really good video! I know Fox has had some rough years in the past, but Jesus...
Kind of funny that it came out a day after I watched a crappy Simpsons ripoff from Argetina called "La Familia Tipo".
My parents were die hard fans of til' death so I kinda remember that one.
Why does till death look like it’s stuck in the 90s?
Because every three camera sitcom thinks it is still 1996 and *f(r)iends* is still on the air. Matthew Perry is roasting hard right now.
Wow I remember watching The Winner when it aired on Sunday and watching Til Death on Sundays as a kid. In fact Til Death got the same issue as The Winner but worse they would air three episodes in the night then on Thursday when Family Guy would sometimes get a new episode they would put a Til Death episode there. The syndication on my end in the US is even funnier my CW aired the show in the afternoon for a year but once they got a different show they dropped it off their network and it went to My Network TV and if you know how messy that network is it makes it's fate the funniest.
The Winner reminded me of Get a Life. At least Fox gave that one a second season.
I loved *Get a Life.* I wish they could have “Spam,” made the Weird Al Yankovic version REM’s “Stand,” the theme instead of the OG.
One of the shows is called Vanished , that should tell you something . Lol
Jesus JUST a rapid fire of videos! Awesome
As Ricky Ricardo might put it, “AI AI AI AI AI!”
The Winner is basically the Chris Elliot show "Get a Life."
definitely never would've heard of any of these from this era, I would've been watching Heroes around this point in time and wouldn't have been a fan of cop shows.
Fox cancels everything, except for the Simpsons!
of the ones you were describing, I think The Winner sounded the most interesting. Mostly becasue of the Family Guy connection and not knowing this was something Seth McFarland did.
Justice was great. Love the premise. Plus it had some great moments.
One involved a tween girl whose mom died on a rollercoaster with her. The girl is set to testify. The Victor Garber lawyer tells he not to cry. If she cries they will lose. She is questioned and ends up breaking down. Opposing lawyer sees Garber looking smug and accuses the girl of faking the tears. Girl responds telling him her lawyer said not to. Death glares at opposing lawyer.😂
I ended up watching all off 'Til Death on a streaming site. Mainly because it was the first thing in the list. The last season was really weird. I don't recall any of the other shows. I don't even recall what I was doing that year anyways.
I wish they would put cancelled shows on streaming. But they wont because they font want to pay.
4:17 - Trying not to laugh at this part because I have a sore throat.
I liked til death. Brad Garrett is funny
What year did fox air Stacked and Life on A Stick because both those shows were train wrecks too
0:18 (7 Different shows from Fox's 2006 season)
wow, that was ages ago.
definitely don't remember hearing about any of those
...although to be fair i think i'dve been more interested in KidsWB or FoxBox around that time instead of the network sitcom shows.
The only show from this line up that I remember watching was The Winner. I was such a huge Family Guy Fan in 2006, so anything with Seth MacFarlane had my interest. And I feel like you downplayed Fox's Sunday night block. Fox famously had shows like The Simpsons and X- Files in their Sunday night spot for years. Animation Domination became a big programing block for them sometime after, so I really don't think Sunday night on Fox is as big of a Death slot as it might have been on other networks. The happy ending for the Winner is that Rob Corddry went on to create Children's Hospital, which also starred himself, along with Erinn Hayes, who was also on The Winner.
Sundays at 6pm? Till Death is aptly named.
I don't have any money for a patreon, but I do have a great video idea you should do on next after whatever you're doing You do a history video on Twice Upon A Time form 1983
Justice was one of my favorites tbh. I was sad that it wasn’t successful
7:30 Why does the head have a demonetized symbol
Are you from joblo?
The Wedding Album sounded DOA
Can't expect everything to be great
But you can expect at least one thing to go well.
@@albertrobinson4576 True
@@albertrobinson4576Storywise, it’s The Winner. Unlike the other shows, the protagonist is quirky, vulnerable, and yet relatable. The acting on that show is also faaaar too good.
@@KawikaProductions True
My housekeeper 💀
was this a reupload? i recall seeing a similar thumbnail and title on youtube a while back and then couldnt find it when i tried to look for it
It’s new.
@@mediamementosofficial weird, i guess im having deja vu
@@magik4353 I did share the thumbnail a while ago as a teaser. Maybe that’s what you’re thinking of?
What's the music played between 7:45 and 9:55?
How hard was it for you to not make the obvious pun about Vanish?
What's the music at 14:09?
Isn’t The Winner just a worse version of Get a Life?
Friends is mediocre. I don't get the hype.
That is being kind.
Baseball finals? I smell Russian bot 😅
,” said the xenophobic warmonger.
Buddy i think you should stop hating family guy
I don’t.
Tho i'm curious about your opinion on the Cleveland show because at time i never knew why people hate that show?
I hate Family Guy. Always have.
