Titans had everything to succeed, except patience. And good writers, maybe. Someone was too eager for it to become the « hottest » new series. Like they kept repeating on the commercials. They completely overlooked building up the plot and fleshing out characters first. And went straight to the juicy drama. Which made the pilot episode, and the rest that followed. Rushed and awkward, even. Too many important steps were skipped, to give the story a chance at developing smoothly. And they clearly did not have enough money to offer the show a chance at shining either. They landed Victoria Principal as one of the leads, but switched between two former Melrose Place actors, because they clearly couldn't afford both at the same time. And it made the storytelling messy, and also proved how doomed the show was. They even changed the opening credits song, because the one they picked at first, was too expensive... For a show about wealthy people, it was the straw that broke the camel's back. Still there were good things about it, like intrigues, good music and interesting characters, like Peter. Who was by far the best, yet too flamboyant to be a womanizer. But not only did the show belonged elsewhere (Fox, or The WB, even) but very few means and efforts were put into it. So it was cancelled...
