Default Best SF Series that Almost Were

I don't mean just series that aired a few episodes and were cancelled like:

Mercy Point - Got cancelled after only 3 or 4 episodes.

Space Rangers - Cancelled after 6 episodes.

Otherworld - Bounced around the dial and never really given the chance to get an audience. Got cancelled mid-way through season.

But also series that went as far as the pilot stage then stalled like:

GENESIS II/PLANET EARTH - Gene Roddenberry's failed attempt to bring a post Star Trek SF series to TV. Ironicly it was a post-apocalypse series, which may be why it never got green lit.

THE OSIRIS CHRONICLES (aka Warlord: Battle for the Galaxy) - Had potetial. I actually reviewed this one a while ago (http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-qzcEL...UA-?cq=1&p=164). Made it to air as a UPN movie. It's a post fall galactic civilization space opera that obviously inspired whoever did the retooling of the GENESIS II concept into ANDROMEDA.

ISLAND CITY - At least I think that's what it was called. The actor from Will and Grace was in this. He played a number of different CLONES. Alas this is yet another failed post-apoc series. The pilot made it to air as a UPN movie.

I'm sure there's probably more out there.
