Direct-to-video
In the case of a TV show, low ratings may cause a studio to cancel the show, possibly after having filmed an entire season and aired some episodes. If the show has a considerable fanbase, the studio may release unaired episodes on video to recover losses. Clerks: The Animated Series and Firefly are examples of canceled shows which were successful cult hits on DVD. Occasionally outstanding DVD sales may revive a canceled show, as in the case of Family Guy.Originally canceled in 2004,the series was revived in 2005 due partly to its excellent DVD sales.
