Tender Mercies 1983? took 1 year to get financed. The bridge financing was finally obtained when Duvall put up some of the money himself. It won 2 academy awards, including Best Actor (Duvall) and returned 600% on its investment over 4 years.
Touched by an Angel was scheduled to be cancelled after 4 episodes, until a massive write-in campaign happened. It was more profitable than Seinfeld (80% cheaper to produce)

Go figure.
