Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback was canceled - and brought back - multiple times before its third and final season. Created by Kudrow and Michael Patrick King, The Comeback premiered in 2005 and followed Valerie as she filmed a reality show called The Comeback, which chronicled her journey on a new sitcom with young costars as she tried to resuscitate her Hollywood career. The HBO show debuted to low ratings - and mixed reviews - despite being nominated for three Emmy Awards. Kudrow, for her part, received a nod for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
