Favorite TV shows that lasted a season or less

[Alro 0]

Undergrads, Undeclared and 3-South.

 

I've managed to find all the episodes of Undeclared, including one unaired episode. I wish I could have that luck with 3-South. I've got the first 6 episodes all in RealVideo format, but that's it. Everytime I find a torrent of it, it has been dead.

How many seasons did Get a Life go?

Murder One

Murder One shouldn't count - it did go two seasons, albeit with different leads. Good show, but a bit ahead of it's time.

 

The one-season "wonders" that upset me the most upon cancellation:

- Playmakers (although I can't see that ESPN had a choice when the NFL applied pressure)

- Keen Eddie (fun little show, maybe too many Brits for the American palate?)

- Karen Sisco (poor scheduling by ABC. A show with a female as the primary is not guaranteed to hold the ratings of The Bachelor.)

- The Flash (my favourite live-action comic hero show)

Alien Nation

Didn't that last for a couple of seasons?

[Guest ken adams]

Police Squad.

 

It lasted 6 episodes & was much funnier than the Naked Gun movies.

 

OJ Slasher was a terrible Nordberg, I don't know why Peter Lupus didn't make the movie.

 

And don't forget Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln.

Clerks

Do Over

Clone High

That Was Then

Swan's Crossing

[Guest TheDon]

Where is the Eerie, Indiana love? That show was way before it's time.

I second undeclared and greg the bunny. I miss titus too but at least it got 3 years and as said before didnt get canned in the middle of the season like Boston Public and Grounded for Life (two of my fav shows) -but at least they gave grounded a series finale that was ok. Boston dissaperead in the middle of the storylines.

 

The Critic is also one of my all time favs. Only lasted breifly on abc and then a little bit more on fox. I keep meaning to get the dvd set.

 

oh and I also enjoyed "the Help" i thought it had some potential. Too bad it lasted 6 episodes. I enjoyed its similarity to Unhappily as well. Bud Bundy as a drunk guy who lived in the pool house and never talked except for grunting made the show for me. as well as the bickering maids.

I liked Greg The Bunny, but despite a good cast and a funny show, it just felt like it was going to get canceled quick.

It lasted exactly one season (Fox's first, IIRC), but they made TV movies afterwards

- Keen Eddie (fun little show, maybe too many Brits for the American palate?)

- The Flash (my favourite live-action comic hero show)

I liked those too, damn this thread is bringing back memories. Anyone else remember Mark Hamill as The Prankster or something similar in a Flash episode?

 

For that matter, does anyone else remember a half-hour Dracula show that used to air a decade ago? Basically a buncha kids trying to stop the Prince of Darkness, kind of a proto-Buffy, came on in the middle of the night.

Police Squad needs to be on DVD...

The Flash villain was named The Trickster. I also loved that show.

no, but I remember Count Duckula

[Guest Smues]

I loved Count Duckula as a kid. A vampire made with ketchup instead of blood. BRILLIANT.

[Guest Ray]

Nowhere Man.

 

I remember loving it back in....1995? Haven't seen it since.

 

Wow, that was ten years ago. I feel old.

Two. Both were released on DVD.

I believe it was creatively entitled "Dracula: The Series"

 

 

I looked it up on IMDB recently

I think it was on in a block with Vanishing Son?

 

Now that was a series that sucked. But it was nice to have an Asian (not named Margaret Cho) as the lead character...

Murder One

Nice to see I'm not the only fan on this board. Thankfully, the first season of Murder One has just been released on DVD! I will be picking it up very soon. It's the best single season of any show ever.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

My list is pretty much a repeat of everyone else's, but I'll throw in my agreement with Action (before it's time, looked like the censors went to work on it quite a bit). Greg the Bunny (at least I got the DVD), Clerks TAS, John Doe (pissed at how they ended the run), Keen Eddie, The Flash, and Fastlane.

 

At least I know what was supposed to happen on John Doe. I have the issue of Entertainment Weekly where they talked to the show creators and they spilled how it was supposed to work out.

Firefly

My So-Called Life - Just recently watched the series, and I really liked it.

The Job - Denis Leary's NYPD show, which technically had two seasons, but only 19 episodes between the two of them.

Undeclared - By Judd Apatow, also creator of Freaks and Geeks, and The Ben Stiller Show, neither of which I got to see, unfortunately.

Greg The Bunny

Wonderfalls

Andy Richter Controls the Universe - Same boat as The Job length-wise. Had a similar format to Scrubs, and much funnier than Andy's current show, Quintuplets.

Push, Nevada - Not a great show, but the concept was interesting.

Since two season shows like "The Job" and "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" have been mentioned, I'll add:

 

SportsNight

I loved that show. I was pretty pissed off when they took it off the air.
