Answer: "Pushing Daisies"

"Pushing Daisies" was created by Bryan Fuller. It originally was intended to be a spin-off for the show "Dead Like Me", which was also created by Bryan Fuller, but instead turned into its own separate show on ABC. "Pushing Daisies" was cancelled by ABC because of lack of ratings.

"Freaks and Geeks" was created by Paul Feig, but it started the careers of Seth Rogen, Jason Segal, James Franco, Judd Apatow, and many others. "Freaks and Geeks" was cancelled by NBC because of low ratings, but eventually the show became a cult hit.

Answer: "My So-Called Life"

"My So-Called Life" is a really realistic high school drama (if you had a life in high school). It was cancelled by ABC because of low ratings (like always). It was so close to being revived until Claire Danes said she couldn't come back because of her busy shooting schedule.

Answer: "Arrested Development"

I am hoping you didn't pick "The Brady Bunch" because that is way off. "Arrested Development" was cancelled by FOX (yet again) because of low ratings (crazy). The show had many famous guest stars like Liza Minnelli, Henry Winkler, and Amy Poehler. There is still hopes for a movie version to come out.
