Not only that, the series that preceded “Dr. Those shows that do make it to being aired can still have the plug pulled after just a couple of airings. Those that do get funding for a pilot get no further than that. Here’s the thing: Most ideas for TV shows don’t make the cut. Ken” on for two seasons is an outstanding accomplishment.
