Animated tv shows that just got a pilot episode?

I'm looking for animated tv shows that didn't quite make it and only got a pilot episode or maybe only 2 or 3 episodes before it was cancelled. I already know Battletoads.

Pryde of the X-men was a pilot episode for an X-man series in the 80's. Australian Wolverine is just one of the many reasons it probably lasted one episode.

Double Dragon too, right?

Usagi had a pilot. There was a Pacman Christmas thing but I don't recall if it was a pilot or just a special.

Yeah, for those of us who grew up thinking that Double Dragon was edgy and cool on the NES, this show really crushed our illusions about the franchise's long term vitality.

Dude, I LOVE this episode, but the Wolverine voice really does kill most of its appeal. Also, I think Dazzler is a disaster of a character as seen in this show's universe.

Pac-Man was a series. Not sure how many episodes...To TV.com!! Yep lasted 2 seasons and a little over 30 episodes.

Especially since that version of the series was adapted back into the games for the lackluster Double Dragon V fighting game.

Buffy the Animated series. It was supposed to air on FOX in 2001 but never saw the light of day till a 4 min version leaked online a couple years ago.
