Favorite short-lived TV series
- Thread starter FilterFunk
- Start date
I'm not so sure that a show that lasted more than 1 season should be listed, but in my list, a couple of shows did last more than a single season (so I'm guilty too), but I did leave off several of my favorite shows that did have 2-3 seasons:
Terra Nova
The Cape
Firefly
Deadwood
Terminator:...
Jericho
Farscape
Space Above & Beyond

Co-Ed Fever
After recalling the mess that was Delta House...I kinda remembered a couple of other Animal House ripoffs-
Co-Ed Fever...ONE Episode before the plug was pulled.

IIRC, I watched & thought, "Oh, Boy...is this great"!
CBS didn't agree.
The other was Brothers And Sisters-

I forgot about Jericho. I thought it was only a one season show. Didn't realize there was a second season.
The Playboy Club.
Here is a show that came out last September 19, 2011 and was already canceled after October 3, 2011. Only 3 of the 7 episodes were aired.

God, The Devil, and Bob
Southland (almost, only survived 4 episodes on network before getting picked up by TNT)
Trauma

Arrested Development
Happy Town w/ Sam Neil and Lauren German, a pretty intelligent show with lots of plot twists.
Firefly
Life on Mars, really underrated.
Jericho, jumped the shark by getting way to political in season two, season one was excellent.
Terminator, the Sara Connor Chronicles suffered from the Malady a lot of CW series suffer from, a series featuring a hot chick doesn't do well on Fri nights when most young men w/ hormones are out chasing hot chicks. This is the reason Nikita is struggling and Hellcats got canceled. Only losers like me are home to watch them.
"Life on Mars, really underrated." - you mean the British (original version), right? The US version was a travesty. The British version was a fantastic show (great soundtrack too).
Definitely "The Prisoner" (the original one with Patrick McGoohan), also "Time Tunnel". That's one the SciFy could bring back and ruin but no one would care.
Ooooh, good one there.
Recently aquired it but the missus doesn't seem all that keen on animated robot cats blowing things up
I actually never saw the British version, might have to check it out. But the US version was good TV by low US standards.
Another one was the Si-fi series Surface, that was good stuff.
I seem to have a curse that if I REALLY like a show, it's doomed to be killed of within 2 seasons...
