Inspired hilarity.

The original POLICE SQUAD! series was brilliant- and cancelled by ABC after a whopping six episodes! Supposedly they thought it was too "far out" for the average viewer, who didn't "understand" that kind of humor. ABC almost always had the best and most innovative shows, and was the quickest to cancel them if they didn't catch on immediately, or water them down, or put them in awful time slots. Most of those series are alive and well in repeats decades after their abrupt demise.
