Some other short-lived shows that I loved:
Law & Order: Trial by Jury. My favorite of the Law & Order spin-offs. Ultimately, I think what killed it was that Lennie Briscoe was supposed to be one of its major selling points, but Jerry Orbach died after only 2 episodes.
Conviction. Another, lesser known Law & Order spin-off. Although, this one felt more like Homicide: Life on the Street, only with prosecutors instead of homicide detectives. It was probably cancelled because Eric Balfour has been cursed by gypsies. Shame. All the chicks on it were really hot. BTW, I'd love to see a courtroom showdown between Billy Desmond and former Law & Order ADA Paul Robinette.
Hope & Gloria. Granted, it lasted 2 seasons on NBC, but still hardly anyone seems to remember it. It was a sitcom about 2 divorced women who were friends. Hope worked on a daytime talk show hosted by Alan Thicke. (Or rather, a character played by Alan Thicke, not the real Alan Thicke, although the character met the real Alan Thicke in an episode.) Gloria's ex-husband was Enrico Colantoni, who would later be a regular on Just Shoot Me, Veronica Mars, & Flashpoint.
The Jury. A short-lived FOX crime drama. I suspect it was cancelled because it didn't have much in the way of notable lead characters. It just focused on a different jury every week. Still, I loved the bit at the end where we got to see what really happened, and sometimes the jury got it totally wrong.
