Emeril (partially lost sitcom; 2001)

It is a little known fact that renowned celebrity chef, Emeril Lagasse, actually had his own sitcom that debuted in 2001. The sitcom was a major flop and many consider it a forerunner for one of the worst shows ever aired on television.

The show revolved around the chef making a bunch of really lame jokes (if you think "BAM!" was overused in the cooking shows, you are not prepared for this). It was the final major starring role for Robert Ulrich, who died of cancer just a few months later. The show was scheduled to air its premiere on September 11, but was obviously postponed for news coverage. Two common jokes that float around about this are that the news coverage was preferable to watching the sitcom and that the terrorst were just trying to save us from having to watch this horrible show.

The show only lasted 8 episodes, though 10 were finished. The remaining 2 episodes have never aired or popped up in any privated collections. What is especially strange is that the series itself is quite impossible to even find online. Being a series from the 2000s, it is unlikely that nobody recorded the series, but for some reason nobody wants to share it. This makes it difficult for many people to believe the show could be as bad as critics and audiences said it was. Online reviewer, Rowdy C (creator of TV Trash) has this as one of his most requested shows to review. He has responded by saying he'd love to do a review of the show, if he could find any copies of it.
