10 Epic TV Shows That Never Made It To Our Screens

Any show that has Anchorman's Will Ferrel and Adam McKay attached to it- along with It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia's writer, David Hornsby - should surely be worth investing in, right?

Despite these marketable influences having their fingers in the pie, NBC's space office workplace comedy, Mission Control, never took off.

Krysten Ritter had been cast as the lead, who butted heads with a testosterone heavy astronaut (Tommy Dewey) in a race to land on the moon.

Yet, this premise was marred by a casting issue late in the day, with Smallville's own Lex Luthor, Michael Rosenbaum, leaving the project. More problems then popped up in attempting to recast his and a few of the other roles in the series, which then led to NBC pulling the plug on the planned 2014-15 midseason debut.

Being scrapped so close to it's premiere must have stung the cast already signed up to the project and had a few more pieces fell into place at the right time, perhaps this promising NASA comedy could have won the race to get to our screens.
