there was a show VR-5, about a woman trying out virtual reality, that I liked, but nobody talks about anymore

Does Community count? Im not sure what its ratings were like before season 4, but I was always disappointed that it was essentially ended because of behind the scenes insanity.

Was it doing good and Dan Harmon just royally fucked up, or were they kind of looking for an excuse to get rid of it to begin with and that stuff with Harmon kind of gave them an easy out?

Roc (Deep stories, great comedy, great actors. Too hot to handle, I guess).

It's pretty highly regarded in the UK.

But it was a one-off mini-series adaptation of a novel. The author suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome and says she is too ill to do a sequel.

Yeah, it was always on the bubble for ratings but it was a weird era.

At the time NBC was just coming down from having several incredibly successful sitcoms so the bar was high. It would've been fine if it had started on a different network with those ratings. Parks & Rec had a similar story.

Do TV shows in general ever really get low ratings? Seems like nearly every one of them has their cult following that will tell you it's a good show, even if it's not. Also they'll help boost the show's ratings on sites like IMDB.

My first thoughts were Alphas and Zoes Extraordinary Playlist. I dont know to judge them now though, because they both have fairly high ratings on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes but both were cancelled after two seasons.

Theres a Total Recall show from the 90s that didnt do well, only one season. It is excellent, really captures the setting it goes for, has hints of Blade Runner as well. I would say people who enjoy stuff related to TNG style production would probably like it.

I actually remember watching an episode or two of that show way back when I was around 10 years old. I rented it at blockbuster at the time thinking it would be a sequel to the Arnold Schwarzenegger Total Recall movie.

I think it was different before streaming picked up. Some of the streaming services even produce their own shows and movies now.
