When it comes to television, we can safely say it is a hub of creativity, and with numerous shows being released daily, it won’t be surprising that many will get “lost in the system.” Production works of the past are not always so easy to remember. We have so many movies and tv shows to choose from today, but back in the day, the amount was much smaller, and choices were selective. We now know as NBCUniversal was once called Revue and would compete with other stations to produce and release the movie to make the world audience inclined to them. However, it was not always how they had it planned out, as many didn’t work in terms of being successful. This move caused many TV shows to stay on screen for a short while, with others fading out of the production line completely. In this list, we will journey through the years to see some of those tv shows that didn’t stick around in our memories for long…

In the 1960s, people were fascinated with existing life on other planets, and it was a popular topic. America was on a mission to get to the moon, and before the decade came to an end, they had accomplished that goal and more. While all those plans were underway, many people worldwide were tuned into the popular tv show carried on CBS – My Favorite Martian. The show featured a young reporter who, while traveling, came in contact with an alien who had the looks and features of a human and decided to take him home and let him stick around until his spaceship was rebuilt. Many people loved the show because it bore similarities to others, such as I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched. However, by the third season, ratings for the show started to trend downwards, which led CBS to discontinue the show.
