Television history contains a large category of sitcoms that, despite demonstrating genuine comedic merit, have slipped from cultural memory due to a combination of institutional, technological, and economic factors.

CBS's adaptation of *The Bad News Bears* was a short-lived television sitcom, not an unaired pilot or completely lost production. The series premiered on March 24, 1979, and aired on Saturday evenings on CBS. It ran for two seasons, producing 26 episodes total, though three of those episodes were never broadcast by CBS during the original run.

Television pilots are experimental prototypes commissioned by networks to assess the viability of proposed series before committing to full production. Each major American broadcast network receives roughly 500 pitches per season, requests scripts for about 70, and orders approximately 20 pilots — of which only a fraction are ever picked up to series.

Together We Stand was a CBS sitcom that premiered on September 22, 1986, starring Elliott Gould and Ke Huy Quan.

The Middle, which ran for nine seasons on ABC (2009–2018), began its life in a significantly different form. In 2007, a pilot was produced starring Ricki Lake as Midwestern matriarch Frankie Heck. ABC did not broadcast or order that version to series.
