Hollywood is a brutal industry, and sometimes even the highest-quality shows are subject to unceremonious cancelation.

But even if your favorite niche show (that's definitely the best thing on TV so how come nobody else watches it?) does get nuked, try not to lose hope. If enough people are as passionate about it as you are, band together and combine your powers. Persistence pays off, and if you're loud enough, you just might manage to save your favorite show. After all, there's a lot of precedence for fans saving TV shows.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

NBC

Perhaps the only decent thing to ever come out of the concept of "police," Brooklyn Nine-Nine ran for five seasons on Fox before getting the axe. This drove fans into a social media frenzy, probably because they didn't know where else to watch Andy Samberg and Terry Crews at the same time. Fans pleaded with Hulu, but Hulu passed, upping the ante. Luckily, NBC stepped in to rescue the show, where it continues to thrive.
