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.

Community

  

Yahoo! Screen

Before Rick & Morty, Dan Harmon's biggest hit was an aptly titled show about community college starring Joel McHale and a young Donald Glover. Community was expected to have six seasons and a movie, so when NBC canceled the show after season five, fans were predictably miffed. That's when Yahoo! Screen, which nobody even knew existed, swooped in to save Community and fund its promised sixth season. The fabled Community movie is yet to come.
