The Tick
On a whim I picked up The Tick (starring Patrick Warburton as the title character) on DVD. All 9 episodes that aired (and possibly the only ones made?), before the series was cancelled.
The only possible reason that this series was cancelled was that it was too funny to be on TV.

Family Guy at least had a run of two seasons or so. The Wild Blue Yonder had only 9 episodes. Nine!!! Even with Captain Liberty's outfit, which virtually guaranteed the male 12-18 viewing demographic.

I think "Family Guy" is coming back...
I loved "The Tick". For a comedy, it was a bit too cereberal. Folks like things "dumbed down".

The Tick was great. Ahead of its time, just like South Park - "Jesus vs. Santa" is still a side-splitter.
I just got a DVD of Aqua Teen Hunger Force -- that *****'s hilarious.

FAMILY GUY is coming back to Fox in 2005 with new episodes. ATHF and Sealab are two of my favorite shows. Ever.
As far as shows cancelled way before their time, no discussion would be complete without NEWSRADIO SPORTS NIGHT CLERKS. (the series) UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE and, even though it ran for 10 seasons, MST3K.
