Let's face it - major streaming services and networks don't really care about the quality of their productions as long as they keep making money.

It's great when a truly wonderful show manages to break into the mainstream and get new seasons and spin-offs, but it's also quite common for a great show to get canceled after just one season because its ratings were too low for the producers to give it a chance to grow.

Here are 15 outstanding shows that were canceled too soon:

All of the above shows had the potential to be huge hits, but poor ratings in their early seasons thwarted their chances of ever reaching their true potential.

Fans rallied to keep them on the air, and the production teams behind them tried their hardest to find new homes for their beloved projects, but all of these actions proved futile - Hollywood only speaks the language of the many, and it couldn't care less about investing in something based on its quality, not its commercial potential.

However, these 15 outstanding shows have all gone down in history as cult favorites, with a few of them, such as Firefly or Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, often being cited as the best shows in television history!

Here are all the shows mentioned: The Middleman, The Grinder, Almost Human, My So-Called Life, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Terra Nova, Freaks and Geeks, Limitless, Forever, Selfie, Wonderfalls, Lone Star, The Tick, Kings, Firefly.
