Sometimes a short-lived show will vanish from the schedule and you'll have to wait until the DVD comes out (maybe). Other shows show up on some cable network and are run for a while but then go away forever. These three shows were so short-lived you didn't think you'd see them anywhere ever again. But DirecTV has other ideas.

The company is going to start showing three short-lived shows again: ABC's Eyes and The Nine and CBS' Smith. Specifically, they've made a deal with Warner Brothers to show the three shows on their 101 Network and DirecTV on Demand. They'll be shown in HD, unedited, and episodes you've never seen before will be part of the package too (Eyes has seven unseen episodes, while The Nine and Smith each have four).

The one I'd love to see again? It's not The Nine, which was a fine show but I just don't miss that much. It's not Smith, which had an expensive pilot episode but then feel apart. No, the one I loved was Eyes, the short-lived Tim Daly drama about the goings-on at an elite investigation firm. I reviewed the show here when it was on ABC a few years ago and it's a show I miss more than even Arrested Development.
