I have been posting about some really good shows that were cancelled quickly on UPN. I also notice shows in syndication that last for 2-3 seasons that are not as good. So I have to wonder if it is UPN's fault more than the shows themselves. For example: Nowhere Man, Special Unit 2. The were cancelled after one season. I am just wondering if they were in syndication would they have been given more time to find their audience? I personally think that it is UPN's fault. They are not on in all of the country and they are so strapped for money that if:
a)the show doesn't pull in boffo ratings
b)is a cheap comedy to produce
c)named Star Trek (although that could change)
It get's cancelled quickly.
Here is a list of short run shows on UPN that might have succeeded in syndication:
All Souls drama 2001
The Beat drama 2000
The Burning Zone drama 1996-1997
Freedom drama 2000
Haunted drama 2002
Legacy drama 1998-1999
Legend western/comedy 1995
Level 9 drama 2000-2001
Live Shot drama 1995
Love Boat: The Next Wave drama 1998-1999
