wow that is a GREAT idea for a cable channel - a channel that picks up shows that the networks cancelled.
Networks need big ratings, excellent shows get killed every year even though they have large audiences of hardcore fans, just not big enough for one of the big 4 networks.
but i don't know how a cable channel can afford to keep producing the shows with the same quality because it's very expensive to shoot an episode of a high quality tv series.
great idea though.
there was a show when i was a teenager, i love it and it only lasted like 4 or 6 weeks, Bay City Blues, about a minor league baseball team, i think Steven Bochco produced it. wish it could have survived. i used to wack off to one of the wives of the baseball players, Michelle Green, i think she was in Porky's too. Don't know what happened to her.

yeah, Cop Rock rises from the grave!
and Profit...excellent series, lasted 3 episodes, supposedly has a couple more sitting in the can somewhere...
and the greatest series of all-time - Get A Life
problem with something like that is picking up older series, there wouldn't be a enough episodes to keep going...say a show is cancelled after only 1 season, there would only be 13-20 episodes available and it could burn out quickly...
