Airwolf's cancellation/dragging through the mud is probably one of the saddest in history. I think Cracked put it best:

Airwolf ran successfully on CBS for three seasons before being canceled. Not content with their 24-hour schedule of awful movies and cleavage, the U.S.A. Network decided to pick up the show and make it themselves. However, they had a shoestring budget, which is bad news on a TV show based entirely around futuristic helicopter fight scenes. This led the minor problem of not actually having access to the helicopter at all (they no longer owned it). That's right. They were trying to do an Airwolf series without using any shots of Airwolf. Thus each episode was carefully constructed from previously aired footage of Airwolf, walking a fine line between hysterically ####ty and just plain sad.
