When it came out on DVD I scooped it up and still love the show

Terriers

 

[Hivemind]

True Detective

 

[Oscar Acosta]

I remember really liking the Black Donnelly's and then it got cancelled all early. Same deal with New Amsterdam.

 

[KirkOut]

Firefly

Do miniseries count? if you are into WW2 stories I highly recommend The Heavy Water War (on Netflix currently)

 

[Ozz]

I have a bad memory, but that stupid show Uncle Buck from last season was pretty funny. I like Mike Epps, so...


I'll come back after I think of some.



edit:

Lucky Louie
Clerks The Animated Series (horrible as a TV series for the masses, but I liked it)

 

[Preds Partisan]

Terriers and then Rubicon if I can pick two.

 

[McPuritania]

American Gothic.

Great casting, great writing, and Gary Cole was the ultimate badass as Sheriff Buck.

 

[McOilers97]

Have only watched a couple shows that didn't make it to a second season, none that I got super attached to. If we were talking about shows that only got two seasons, then I'd have a couple good ones to add.

 

[BonMorrison]

Awake was so underrated.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Wonderfalls.

Was the first show created by Bryan Fuller (Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, Hannibal) and it's what introduced me to what I consider to be genius work across the board.

 

[Shareefruck]

Definitely Freaks and Geeks. You come away from that single season feeling like you've experienced an entire childhood.

Hard to believe guys like Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, James Franco, and Jason Segel used to be capable of doing such great work compared to what they do now.

The Office [UK] was technically two seasons but they were each six episodes so that gets my vote.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Off the top of my head:

Firefly
Battlestar Galactica (1978 series)
Automan
Terra Nova
Earth 2

and many more that are not coming to mind right now.

Yeah, they really suck now. What a bunch of has beens

Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared are my answers. Andy Richter Controls The Universe was good too, but I think it may have lasted more than one season.

 

[TNT87]

Life on Mars.
Last Resort.

 

[aleshemsky83]

Thats not a disney cartoon or anime probably Carl Sagan Cosmos or Band of Brothers.

Unless mini-series don't count, in which case, probably Clone High or Undergrads.

 

[McPuritania]

Freaks and Geeks, and Clone High are great choices.

I'm so glad you mentioned the animated Clerks series. It was really good, but the network ****ing butchered it. If I remember correctly, it was to debut directly after the Super Bowl, but the Super Bowl went long, so the first episode was never actually aired. But the kicker was, the second episode of the series was a flashback episode. A hilarious concept for your second ever show, but since no one actually saw the first episode, it made no sense, and absolutely killed the show.

Good calls. I actually never saw Clerks when it was on network TV (solid advertising), but I caught some of the episodes on I think it was Cartoon Network and enjoyed them.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Luck - Was going to be a really good show for HBO - great cast.

 

[Filppula]

Terra Nova was a lot of fun. Real disappointed it was only one season.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Mission Hill

 

[GabeTravels]

FlashFoward had potential. Really enjoyed it.

Almost Human
The Black Donnellys
Clone High

[The Head Crusher]

Highlander: The Raven - Always thought Amanda's Character was interesting.

Undergrads - A second season was under way but they couldn't find a network that would host it.
