Here's one that didn't even make it past the pilot, and that's when you know it's bad. It was pitched as NBC's gripping new primetime legal drama that would make a Stateside star of David Tennant so he was probably more disappointed than any of us when it turned out to be a mediocre story in which he tried to imitate that guy from The West Wing. Terribly. Not that it matters now, of course, but the series would've followed the trials and tribulations of David's character, Rex Alexander, a top litigator so crippled by panic attacks that he started to coach his clients to represent themselves in the courtroom instead. Or something like that, anyway. Just how that would've worked out, however, the world will never know. The pilot is on YouTube, though, if you fancy a laugh.
