The Fantastic Journey
‘The Fantastic Journey’ centered around a family who goes on an expedition to the Caribbean. When they reach the deadly Bermuda Triangle, they encounter a green cloud that leaves them shipwrecked and stranded on an island they can’t escape. The island is stuck between different time zones.
The show had a weird plotline to start with, and it didn’t help that producers had different visions on where they wanted to take the show. ‘The Fantastic Journey’ ended up being canceled mid-season with only 10 out of a total of 13 airing.
The Feather and Father Gang
'The Feather and Father Gang' was a crime drama that told the story of a female attorney who finds a way to get her con-man father to help her solve crimes. The show aired between December 1976 to July 1977 but had its schedule changing almost every week, making it too hard to know when to tune in to watch the show.
The show was criticized for trying to imitate 'Switch' and not being very successful at it. The various schedule changes did not help the show take off, and it ended up being canceled after 14 episodes, with the last one airing in July 1977.
The Bob Crane Show
'The Bob Crane Show' is an NBC sitcom that followed Bob, a man in his 40's who decides to quit his boring job as an insurance salesman and go back to med school. While in school, his wife, portrayed by Patricia Harty, has to support the family, which was uncommon at the time.
The show was a huge disappointment for the network; it had low ratings and only lasted for 13 weeks. The show's failure blamed on a lack of chemistry between the actors, so NBC decided to cancel it.
Sonny Comedy Revue
Despite having a big name attached to it, 'Sonny Comedy Revue' had a hard time getting the audience's attention. Its initial airdate was on September 22, 1974, the same year Sonny and Cher ended their marriage. Weirdly, that didn't stop them from having their own show that same year.
The show aired on ABC, but sadly the fact that it heavily featured Sonny and barely had Cher meant no one really wanted to watch. Critics said the show was not funny and almost unbearable to watch. No one could get over Cher's absence. The show had consistently low ratings, which led to it being canceled after 13 episodes, with the final episode in December of the same year.
Big John, Little John
'Big John, Little John' was a situational comedy about a 40-year teacher who drinks from a mysterious fountain of youth and turns into a 12-year-old boy. The change isn't permanent but occurs at inconvenient times. Despite this creative plot, the show didn't last for more than one season.
It first aired in September of 1976 on NBC and only ran 13 episodes. By December, the show was already canceled and pretty much forgotten. If for some reason, you still wish to try and watch it, you might be able to find its DVD, which was released in 2009.
