I'll cosign some of the shows that have already been named (especially Freaks and Geeks) and add Lucky and Undeclared.

Using your rules I agree with this and would add Clerks animated.

Terriers with honorable mentions going out to Wonderfalls, Firefly, Eyes, and Miracles.

Jake 2.0 is another favorite of mine, but I don't think it gets by the rules because there were scripted but unproduced episodes.

I also thought Jack & Bobby wasn't bad.

Final addition: I so loved Lucky. I mourn that it didn't get produced just a little later during the poker boom because it surely would have then taken off. It would have been a killer companion for early It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Didn't that get 2 seasons? Yes, according to IMDB, it had 2 seasons: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0307716/

My vote is for Terriers.

I'd probably go:

Freaks and Geeks
Firefly
Odyssey 5

I forgot to throw out an honorable mention to Lucky Louie. I have no idea why HBO cancelled it, it couldn't have cost more than $1.98 per episode to produce.

:thumbsup: to everyone for recognizing its greatness. A perfect season of television if ever there was one; its cancellation still stings. At this point, all I want is for it to make its way to DVD or Blu-ray.

The Jetsons. One 24 episode season running pretty much constantly since 1963.

Imdb lists three. Although 23 years between 1-2

That super cheesey cop show The Good Guys was fun.

I always liked Life as We Know It. I was on ABC back in Fall '04.

Invasion

one of my other favs was Good vs. Evil (GvsE) on USA years ago.

Good call for an unheralded series. I will say the definitive answer for this question is Heroes. Everyone knows about the incredible first season, but few know that Pod people replaced all the writers after it. So the original vision had one season...at least in my mind.

Firefly

After that, I would say Max Headroom since it only had a total of 14 episodes, but apparently they comprise two seasons.

Of course Firefly was intended for more than 14 episodes. Did you even see it?

Firefly, though a number of these are on my to-watch list. This is the first I've heard of Terriers.
