** The BBC was planning to end the series with the third season finale, which saw the main villain killed off, the heroes' spacecraft destroyed and them marooned on a distant artificial planetoid. The cast and crew believed the show was over and started looking for other projects. Then, whilst watching the Season 3 finale at home, the head of BBC Drama found he and his family were enjoying it so much he rang up BBC Television Centre and told the continuity announcer to say that the show would be back the following year, which was the first anyone on the show's production team knew about it. Possibly the shortest-notice network to the rescue in history?

* ''Series/TheNotTooLateShowWithElmo'', a spin-off of ''Series/SesameStreet'' wound up being removed from Creator/HBOMax in August 2022. It was one of many shows removed at the time to help the service save costs. Almost a year later however, Creator/PBSKids acquired the broadcast rights to the series. It is set to begin airing in February 2023.

* Although ''Series/{{Castle}}'' started off slow, and it would've been easy for ABC to cancel it, the network stuck with it, and it kept going for seven more seasons, shattering the so-called "[[Creator/NathanFillion Fillion Curse]]".
