Misconceptions is an American sitcom television series for The WB Network for the 2005-2006 season that never aired. It featured Jane Leeves and French Stewart. Six episodes were ordered at the time of the show's announcement. The show was not included on The CW's schedule, and it is very unlikely that the episodes that were produced will ever air at all.
