‘Alcatraz’
This was another case of a show with a big name that couldn’t save it. “Alcatraz” was produced by J.J. Abrams, whose hits include “Lost” and “Alias”. The show jumped between 1963 and modern day, and followed prisoners and guards who disappeared in the past and mysteriously reappeared in the present. Despite being awarded a 1st Critics’ Choice Television Award, the show only lasted 13 episodes.
