I was thinking about how many of my favorite shows have ended so soon before their time. Trial & Error, Timeless (still bitter about those two), Scorpion, So Help Me Todd, Life in Pieces, Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life, Enlisted, Bad Judge, the list goes on. So many shows, many with cliffhangers that go unresolved. Some shows, like Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Cougar Town have been saved by moving to a new network, and some, such as Community, have been saved by moving to streaming services.
So my idea is: a streaming service that salvages canceled shows. Perhaps it might also include some old shows for the the sake of just syndication rather than revival, but the main focus would be on reviving canceled shows, as well as making revivals or spinoffs of older shows (similar to Girl Meets World, Will & Grace, or The Connors).
What do you think of this idea? Could there be a market for it, could it be successful? Do you have any advice? I know there’s a lot of people who would love a place to watch their favorite shows again, but at the same time, a lot of shows get canceled for a reason, and I know how big a hit Yahoo Screen took.
