TV shows that never made it to air

[Bigcol49]

Hi!
According to Wikipedia:
Heil Honey I'm Home! is a British sitcom, written by Geoff Atkinson and produced in 1990, which was cancelled after one episode. It centres on fictionalised versions of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, who live next door to a Jewish couple. It caused controversy when broadcast and has been called "perhaps the world's most tasteless situation comedy"

Any suggestions for other ideas for TV shows that never made it beyond the planning stage?

A couple to get started:

Björn in the USA: Tennis star Björn Borg tours America looking at tennis provision in each state.

Do It Yussef: home improvement for Muslims.
