TV: Favorite Show that only lasted 1 season or less?

[Rocko604]

A lot of good ones have already been mentioned.

Couple years ago I was a big fan of Surviving Jack, starring Christopher Meloni. Shame it only got 7 episodes, but that's how Fox rolls. If they had waited to air the show in the fall instead of the spring, it probably would have picked up a second season.

Surface (2005)

New sea creatures are found.
People trying to track down where they came from.

Then it just ends. I guess production costs were too high.

 

[Tuggy]

Awake was so underrated.

This is my pick.

 

[John Price]

Muppets was awesome but they canceled it after one year. Infuriating.

 

[MK9]

Terriers

Good call. Awesome show. Although, I still have to give it to Firefly. Terriers was criminally underrated.

 

[Sens Rule]

FlashFoward had potential. Really enjoyed it.

Read the book it was based on. It was a really great sci-fi book.

 

[Habsrule]

Persons Unknown

 

[Butchered]

Mission Hill and Undergrads for me. Two animated shows.

It wasn't a great show but I really enjoyed Killer Instinct before it was cancelled.

On NYC public access in the mid 90s there was a wealth of amazing entertainment, but in particular was one awesome short-lived show. No - I'm not talking about the one where it was some creep taking videos of hot girls in central park to music, but it was the "Doggie Doo Dollar Half Hour". Some guy in the East Village would put dollar bills on the street and take video from the window of people picking them up and sometimes putting them in their pockets. They just happened to have dog poop on the underside.

Sports Night would be at the top for me if it weren't for it's second season

William Macy was in second season.

Firefly
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip


Gonna have to check out Freaks and Geeks

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, and Clone High

 

[Jovavic]

I was a fan of "The Comedians" with Billy Crystal and Josh Gad...good call with Terra Nova

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

Police Squad.

 

[td_ice]

Life on Mars.
Last Resort.

Haha.....same two I wanted to mention. (And of course Firefly.)

Although I was glad that Last Resort didn't go past a season, as l enjoyed the resolution. Dragging that situation out further would have been unnecessary and tiresome imo.

 

[Afino]

FlashFoward had potential. Really enjoyed it.

Yep. One of my favorite concepts ever and they ****ed that six ways to Sunday trying to make it too much like Lost in that post-Lost TV world. That one, The Event was another one.

 

[member 51464]

Stark Raving Mad seemed to have potential from what I recall.

I also enjoyed the bits of Defying Gravity I saw.

 

[jasonleaffan]

Alcatraz and more recently Limitless

 

[Eisen]

Space: Above and Beyond.

 

[Johnny LaRue]

Firefly, Undergrads and Freaks and Geeks are all good picks.

I sometimes wonder if it isn't merciful to kill shows off before they inevitably become terrible though.

 

[beowulf]

Firefly, Terra Nova, Earth 2 and Brimstone.

 

[Afino]

Terra Nova wasn't terrible, but fell into the same traps of most of the like-minded shows before it. Plus I think it was too big-budget for TV.

 

[Central PA Hawk Fan]

I'm with Busey was hilarious.

Good vs. Evil had a cool concept and decent execution.
