Okay, I just remember another one. Madigan Men with Gabriel Byrne. That show was great! An interesting sitcom from a man's POV.

How about God, The Devil & Bob? I thought the show was good but didn't last long due to protests and networks pulling it off the scedule.

Just reminded of "Now and Again" in the cliffhanger thread. I loved that show.

Yes!!! I liked both Normal, Ohio and Now and Again. <sigh> So many good shows with potential, so few that made it.....

Family Guy...this thing almost rivaled the Simpsons. So many funny flashback scenes.

Hmmm... I'm surprised no one's mentioned Get Real. I know it went for a full season, so maybe that's too long for some to feel that it qualifies, but I was as hooked as I've ever been with a drama / comedy show ('cept for Sopranos).

Also, of course, the Ben Stiller Show has got to win this prize... and man, I was Action had moved to HBO!

I know you guys are talking about one season shows in general, but as this thread is just "short-lived" shows, I have to throw out my personal favorite. THE TICK! A true masterpiece in comedic television and writing at its finest. SPOON!!!
