Cancelled Too Early: 90s TV Shows

The nineties had the best television shows. And many of them were cancelled too soon. Perhaps this was because some of them were simply ahead of their time. Below is a list of shows that were some of my favorites until they were cancelled. These are in no particular order.

Covington Cross

Covington Cross was an excellent show that took place in medieval England. It's about a widowed father, played by Nigel Terry, and his four grown children. It was a bit humorous how all of his kids wanted to be knights. Of course his daughter couldn't be since she was a woman. Thirteen episodes were made, but they weren't all aired after the show premiered on ABC in 1992. It has yet to be released on dvd, but many fans have managed to obtain all the episodes including those that weren't aired. Other actors included Glenn Quinn (who also starred on Angel).

One West Waikiki

One West Waikiki was a very interesting show that took place in Hawaii. It's about a coroner, played by Cheryl Ladd, and a homicide detective, played by Richard Burgi. Part of what made the show enjoyable was watching these two characters interact. They never failed to make me laugh. The show wasn't a comedy; it was simply the way they would argue and carry on together that was funny. It originally aired on CBS in 1994. It technically ran for two seasons, but only twenty episodes total were made.

The Crow: Stairway to Heaven

The Crow: Stairway to Heaven originally aired in 1998 and was based on the popular movie "The Crow." In this show, Eric Draven is played by Mark Dacascos. The show is very similar to the first "Crow" movie and the actors were all great in their roles. The writers made the character of Sarah, played by Katie Stuart, a bit more sarcastic than the one in the movie, but she's just as likable. I believe they did an excellent job of casting this role. The Crow: Stairway to Heaven ran for one full season and is finally being released on dvd later this year.

Highlander: The Raven
