What's the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have 'found their audience' but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

Any insight into why in the world they'd greenlight Jericho to begin with if they seemed so uninterested in supporting it? It's certainly not the first show to run into a situation like that, but it's always kind of interesting to see how the reasoning may vary across businesses with each show.

Probably a The Producers scenario where they expected to make money off its failure, and then it was successful and cost them more than they wanted since they betted against it.

Only reason I can think of. Only reason that makes any logical sense.
