Some shows get canceled after a few seasons. Some only last for a few weeks. And then, there are those that get yanked from broadcast after a single night’s airing.
In this golden era of television, there are dozens and dozens of critically hailed TV programs to choose from to suit your personal taste. But even when TV’s at it’s best, that doesn’t mean there have been some serious missteps along the way.
Whether the show didn’t land with audiences, or a scandal or tragedy resulted in an unexpected immediate withdrawal from the broadcasting schedule, we’ve rounded up the television shows that got pulled from air after just one episode. While some shows did eventually air the remainder of the episodes in the can, all of these shows were scrapped from the get-go for various reasons.

Cameron Crowe on Marc Bolan and T. Rex in Ethan Silverman’s Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan & T. Rex: “A little bit of Eddie Cochran and a little bit of like futurism and it felt so fresh …” Photo: Neal Preston
In my wide-ranging conversation with Ethan Silverman we discuss why he is indebted to Cameron Crowe, Hal Willner’s work on Kurt Weill, the gift from producer Bill Curbishley of Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Cole Porter, Danny Fields, Beth Orton, Joan Jett, David Bowie, Nick Cave, Snarky Puppy, and Ethan’s interest in Weill, Lotte Lenya, and Bauhaus projects. On-camera comments by Billy Idol, Bono, The Edge, Elton John, Nena, Ringo Starr, Gloria Jones, Rolan Bolan, Richard Barone, Tony Visconti, Bowie, and Crowe provide unique context on the cultural importance of Marc Bolan.

It has been nearly 45 years since the death of Marc Bolan, a.k.a., T. Rex., at the shockingly young age of 29. Yet five decades after the heyday of glam rock, Bolan’s music remains ubiquitous. At this exact moment audiences around the world are hearing the swaggering “Bang a Gong (Get It On)” as it accompanies a key scene in Top Gun: Maverick. The newest album from Def Leppard, Diamond Star Halos, takes its name from “Gong.” And Bolan has been name-checked in multiple reviews of the latest album from a similarly gender-fluid pop star, Harry Styles. Now the high-profile documentary Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan & T. Rex makes its world premiere at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival.
A good chunk of Angelheaded Hipster documents the star-studded creation of a 2020 tribute album, also called AngelHeaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan & T. Rex. Indeed, the goal of director...

At the outset of Ethan Silverman’s documentary “Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan & T. Rex,” Billy Idol relays an anecdote about Marc Bolan — the magnetic songwriter and frontman of the English glam rock band T. Rex — getting booed by a crowd of 175,000 at a festival in 1971.
If you’ve heard of Bolan or even heard a single song by T. Rex (you have), it’s no surprise that the anecdote ends with Bolan melting the crowd’s faces with an hour of his churning, groovy guitars and sensually laconic singing, battering his guitar strings with a tambourine and receiving a 15-minute standing ovation in the process.
That’s just the kind of rock star Marc Bolan was, and his charisma is still so powerful, 45 years after his death at the age of 30, that it threatens to derail the focus of the documentary. That focus is ostensibly about the...

Marc Bolan’s iconic glam makeup is examined in an exclusive clip from the upcoming doc Angelheaded Hipster: The Songs of Marc Bolan and T. Rex.
“Eyeliner is still a political act in some places,” makeup artist James Vincent says in the clip. “It was playing with gender, it was playing with power. Gender is power. To take something feminine and put it on a man or a musician and make it sexy, I think that’s dangerous.”
Vincent also applies eyeliner to Joan Jett, explaining what it contributes to...
