What are some examples of TV series that were released before their time, and thus weren't appreciated and cancelled (in some cases) due to it? (piefed.social)

Fox in the 90s and 00s had a pattern of giving new and interesting shows a chance, and then fucking up the who thing with executive meddling. Everything from the broadcast schedule, the advertising, and then cancelling the show just as it was finding its audience. Firefly is the best example from that era, but there were dozens.

Firefly is the top example, and rightly so. Few remember Wonderfalls, which I consider nearly as tragic.
