The Others

One of my favorite short-lived TV shows of the last decade, The Others, is currently airing Chiller on DirecTV. A cross between The X-Files, The Sixth Sense and X-Men, The Others focuses on a team of people with special "other worldly" powers who investigate the occult and unknown.

If I remember correctly, the series did alright in the ratings but was canceled, along with the rest of NBC's successful Saturday night block of simarly themed shows in order to make room for the XFL – which lasted all of one season.

The Others was also co-executive produced by Glen Morgan and James Wong, creators of Space: Above and Beyond.
