King Keraun...A half hour called “That White People Sh!%”...

Brilliant...Funny...Honest...
nsfw...this guy is so obviously having fun, and so are his guests/partners in jest.

Is it ‘short-lived’ or has it been out there sing King was 12?!

I don’t know...yet.

I'm looking for suggestions for something to binge watch in the next days since I have the flu and I don't feel like I can move from my bed
I enjoy stuff with emphasis on intrigue and witty dialogue (first 3 Game of Thrones seasons, Fargo...)
Is there anything good and addicting to watch?

Wish this one didn't get canceled.

 

[The Owl]

Eerie Indiana

Turn On (a Laugh-In spin off that literally lasted about 15 minutes tops)

Supertrain (almost The Love Boat on rails)

No Soap, Radio (non stop non sequiturs, hotel rooms and a man eating chair, whats not to love )

 

[Diesel Kilgore]

Carpoolers.

 

[48thStreetCustom]

Since they just canceled Counterpart after 2 seasons...

I saw "Sledge Hammer!" and "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr." mentioned in a couple of OT threads, and those are two of my favorite short-lived TV shows. Among the others are:

"Tenspeed and Brown Shoe," starring Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum

"It's Your Move," starring a young Jason Bateman

"Square Pegs," starring Sarah Jessica Parker

"Men Behaving Badly," starring Justine Bateman, Ron Eldard and Rob Schneider (for Season 1, anyway; Bateman and Eldard left the show after the first season and it went straight into the toilet)

"Millenium," starring Lance Henriksen

What are your favorite short-lived TV series?

Sledgehammer was GREAT!

From my childhood: the original Ultraman and Johnny Soko and his Flying Robot

 

[The Owl]

 

[FilterFunk]

"Toma." Precursor to "Baretta," and cooler, darker, better than "Baretta," IMO.

 

[shadowtippy]

The Prisoner.

 

[mtdkingstonheir]

Off the top of my head:
- "Freaks and Geeks"
- "WKRP in Cincinnati"

 

[Ayce]

WKRP had 4 seasons, so I wouldn't call it "short lived".

People Of Earth - I don't think it was ever broadcast here but I binged all the episodes I could (two seasons) on a couple of long haul flights last year. Apparently there won't be a third series which I think is a real shame.
