Operation Good Guys - perfected the fly-on-the wall doc/comedy 10 years before Ricky Gervais claimed to have invented it
Weird, considering Ricky Gervais' biggest influence in that genre is Christopher Guest who worked in that genre in the early 1980's (there was mockumentary films before that too). I see no problems in folks disliking stuff but you're making things up!
I really liked The Office but people went a bit mental for it, like Peter Kay (whatever happened to him?).
Anyway, my shout is
Arrested Development - it was given a farcical final episode after they found out it was cancelled.
Also,
King of the Hill.
I'd have said Futurama but they've brought it back.
