The most famous instance of a show that honestly could have succeeded but never made it past a pilot episode is Korgoth of Barbaria.  Created by the legendary storyboard artist, Aaron Springer, who worked on titles like Spongebob Squarepants and Samurai Jack, Korgoth was a parody of barbarian/sword and sorcery genres set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

The pilot first aired on Adult Swim in June 2006, and was met with popular reception.  Over the next few years, Cartoon Network re-aired the pilot multiple times and teased potential future episodes.  Even the fans at one point petitioned to revive the series.  Eventually, it was revealed that CN had passed on the show due to expensive production.
