Sleepy Hollow
Ichabod Crane is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers.

I am actually SHOCKED this lasted as long as it did.
I really liked it. I thought it was as fun... But it was trying way too hard to be like a lot of the other shows that were on at the time.
Grimm being the most popular of the we are going to riff off Supernatural attempted franchises. Only, unlike all the others, Sleepy Hollow was moody, it was atmospheric, it was able to present an actual world that was just a little off from the one we live in.
And that counts for a lot.
It did the fish out of water time travel trope with class and originality, it felt like something that was very frightening on network television. It felt like a high budget B movie.
So, you got the sense that it was doomed for failure from the start as the lesser programs would come to rule.
