Hello, folks... this thread is dedicated to those TV series that were unfairly shot down before being made. Basically, potential shows that started as pilots and ended there, or rumored/announced spinoffs that never happened.
What are your favorites?
For me, it was a little two part miniseries in 1988 aired on the Wonderful World of Disney called Earth Star Voyager. Here's the opening titles:
For those who never saw it, this was the premise:
The Earth Star Voyager is a spaceship sent to another solar system to prepare it for colonization. Earth itself is horribly polluted, so the mission is vitally important. The crew consists of people aged 14-22, chosen because of their exceptional brilliance and because the trip would take 26 years. As the departing starship gets under way, signs begin to emerge that their mission may unwittingly be part of a larger conspiracy.
I remember watching this and loving the concept and especially the ship itself. Disney, however, has basically shelved the show and will likely never release it in a digital format.
