Yeah but that was due to a horrible timeslot and horrible dubbing. Z didn't get a good start either in the states.
T'was the timeslot that killed the savage TV series. This showed aired at 5:00am in my town, and most other areas didn't fare any better. If you aren't aware, TV Guide doesn't consider 5:00am "morning programming". Until 5:30am rolls around, that timeslot is still technically labeled as "late night programming". Also, this was long before Tivo, so unless you knew it was on and set your VCR to record it (like I did), you would just never see this show.

Side note - You say "horrible dubbing", I say "excellent dubbing". I don't think any TV execs and/or the big wigs at FUNimation cancel anything because of the quality of the dub.
