Does Dark Skies count? I forget how long it was actually on the air.

As slow as it was, I actually really liked Rubicon and was disappointed when it wasn't renewed.

I came in to mention a show no one had mentioned and there it is - Now and Again.

So how about Strange Luck?

I liked Now and Again, but come to think of it, I'm glad it got cancelled, otherwise Dennis Haysbert would have never played David Palmer on 24 a year later.

Sorry. I scanned through and missed it. Too bad it's never come out on home video.

Best? I can't go that far, but I had a blast watching Fastlane. Such a fun show. Great popcorn.

And a show that I feel should be in the discussion as one of the "great" scifi shows in tv history -- Space Above and Beyond. It isn't Star Trek, Babylon 5, X-Files, or Battlestar Gallactica, but I think it is on the rung just below those shows.

D'OH! I forgot about "Keen Eddie" - that was a good one.
Most of these shows probably would have started to suck if they did last longer, so in a way, it's good that they died young and left a good-looking corpse.

That was a great show.

2 that came to my mind are Philly and Fastlane. Also, a show called Do Over - think it was WB show.

Ahhh, fuck. I forgot about Touching Evil. Jeffrey Donovan and Vera Farmiga were both awesome in that show.

Yeah I really liked that show too. Noone knew who the fuck Donovan was back then. The show got more publicity because it was produced by Bruce Willis and the Hughes Brothers. I believe that was way before USA really started developing more scripted shows.

I just blew your fucking mind.

When this thread dies, can we make a thread entitled: "Best shows that lasted one-and-a-half seasons?" That way I can blow my load all over the place for The Loop, Off Center and 2GETHER.

The best one ever for me was Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Aaron Sorkin made a terrific show that only gets better on repeat viewings. Oddly enough, I used to think that the "Nevada Day" two-parter was the worst episode until I saw it two more times and realized how good it really was. Now, I don't think there's a bad episode in that whole show's history. And it's one of the few shows I own on DVD that I'll never get rid of (as long as they don't bring it on Blu-Ray of course).

But I can't believe I forgot about WEBriot. MTV cancelled that one too soon, but it was never all that popular. I remember that it used to air after TRL back when I was into it and it would get pre-empted a lot. It was sad. That one was fun.

Profit was the only other one that was truly great. I think Fox was stupid to not have the balls to keep that one running. It was a great show!

I really enjoyed John Doe as well, which lasted only one season. It ended in a cliffhanger, but overall I liked the show a lot.
