10 Latino TV Shows Canceled Too Soon

Greetings from Tucson (2002-2003)

Greetings from Tucson, which aired on the WB for just one season, was a Latino family drama based on the life of series creator, Peter Murrieta, a Mexican-American television producer who is known for writing television shows about blended families and also helped create Disney's hit series, Wizards of Waverly Place. Unlike most television shows, which are told from the point of view of a white protagonist, "Greetings" was told from the point of view of a 15-year-old Latino teenager named David Tiant (Pablo Santos), the oldest son of an ethnically-mixed family. The show featured an almost all-Latino cast that included, Sara Paxton, Aimee Garcia and Lupe Ontiveros, and critics raved about the show's diversity calling it "a welcome addition to TV's largely white landscape." Still, none of that was enough to keep the show on the air. "Greetings" was canceled after just one season.
