I'm often curious as to why shows get canceled so early in their run. Remember ABC canceling Emily's Reasons Why Not after ONE episode? That show had tons of promotion on the streets of NYC, with bus wraps and billboards all over the place. On the other hand, I literally did not even hear that Paul Riser had a new show. (I too enjoy Mad About You years ago.) Conan O'Brien was canceled early on, but they put him back on the air because they couldn't find anything better to fill the spot. But then when he took over the Tonight Show, he was fired for real after only a few months. (we all know this story).
In conclusion, TV big-wigs are making it up as they go along and often get it wrong. Not everything is The Office or Seinfeld, of course, but a lot of good shows get the sack.
I liked Trauma from last season and Cane from the year before. Both vanished w/o a trace.
