Or there is always recycling

The Studios also have another option, they have plenty of scripts that never got filmed for shows with a strong fan base but not quite good enough to avoid canceling. Why couldn’t they take some of that IP, and make a couple more shows, then show reruns of the show before it got canceled, and close out the season with a few new shows shot from stockpiles scripts. Sure the actors might have moved on, but once the new shows they are on run out of scripts, they’ve got nothing better to do then reprise a few roles. This keeps people working, in a time when the economy really can’t afford to take anymore hits. But hey what do I know? I write about engineering and science, not entertainment, but you only need look as far as Family Guy to see that uncanceling is not without precedent.
