17 Canceled TV Shows from Past Decades That No One Really Misses

In The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer, actor Chi McBride portrays the titular character, a British noble who flees his debts and lands the role of President Lincoln’s valet. The show’s premise sounds entertaining enough, but it sparked quite a lot of controversy for its dark humor and sometimes prejudiced themes. It was canceled after one season due to these controversies, and we can imagine the same would have happened it if aired today.
