Favorite short-lived TV series

"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)

Never saw that, was it related to the British show? If you haven't seen it, I'd say give it a watch :)

Massive +1 to Firefly, love that show. Though give me Jewel Staite any day of the week :hiding:


The Tick, both animated and live action were great.

I thought Lexx had a good run and wasn't too short, likewise for B5.

For me it would have to be The Inbetweeners (the original British series, seriously, I would rather shoot myself than watch an American remake of a sitcom) and Flight Of The Concords!

The US version looks horrendous. However, I thought there was a 4th season of The Inbetweeners coming out at some point.


One that hasn't been mentioned is Space Above and Beyond. Looks quite dated now, but it was an awesome show at the time. Sadly only lasted a single season (though it was apparently planned for 5).

I remember in the 90's the MTV Oddities animations like "The Head" and "The Maxx." Good ole' 90's animation. Glad Beavis and Butt-head returned though, however the newer season I did like that show Good Vibes early on that typically ran after B&B.

I almost forgot: Nowhere Man starring Bruce Greenwood. It was often compared to The Fugitive. You were never sure whether these things were really happening to Bruce's character, or if it was mostly in his head. Only got one season. It was a continuing mystery that developed from week to week, a prototype of "Lost" if you want. When it was known that the show would be cancelled the producers put together a finale to tie up the main story, but wasn't very satisfying, and sort-of spoiled the mystery, in a way.
