How about "That Peter Kay Thing?"

It kind of felt like it had more seasons, but Phoenix Nights was more of spin-off.

I recently watched John Doe for the first time on Hulu and thought it started strong but got weaker as the series progressed. By the end I wasn't that disappointed it didn't continue.

PS. I will give it props for

Spoiler:

and handling it quite well.

Even though all 13 didn't make it to air, I'm going to count Knights of Prosperity. Loved that show. It and Miss Guided were entirely too ahead of their time and buried by ABC. :(

Of the ones already said, I'll throw my votes for:

Freaks & Geeks
Wonderfalls
Terriers
The Chicago Code

I agree with Miss Guided. I thought it was a strong show, but ABC doubled the episodes for burn off.

Same thing happened to Sons & Daughters. It was probably not mainstream enough for network TV.

Both Miss Guided and Sons & Daughters were mid season replacements that ABC bailed on really quickly.

If it met the criteria, it would be EZ Streets.

Agree with a lot of the mentioned, and will add Jack & Bobby.

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.

Shit...Off Center is on DVD too? I really need to look up these WB and TGIF shows and see what else is on DVD...Wonder if UnHappily Ever After is also on DVD...

Cancelled after a few episodes, but all 13 eventually aired on the Internet and syndication. You can buy the complete series for like $5 on Amazon. Awesome 1 season show with a satisfying end.

end of discussion.

the good:
Firefly
Journeyman
Swingtown
Threshold
Making the Grade (TV series)

the great:
John Doe
Terriers
Miss Guided (thanks to whoever posted this. I had forgotten this show's title)
Profit
Rubicon

really would like to watch
My So-Called Life
Freaks and Geeks
The Prisoner (I've owned three different versions of this and sold the first two off before I watched them, but I do still have the BD).

Never saw any of these shows mentioned... but now I want to see firefly and freaks and geeks. The one that i remember being pretty good (maybe bc I was young at the time) and only lasting a season was Dead at 21.

Nothing to really add but love for Firefly, Freaks & Geeks, Wonderfalls and Undeclared.

Mister Sterling

Hon. mention to the following:
Life As We Know It
Surface
Invasion
The Event (after a pretty slow start last year, it actually got to be decent to pretty good in the second half of the eps)

Journeyman :thumbsup:

The Chicago Code - Delroy Lindo is the man.
Daybreak - If only to see how they would handle a second season. The premise made it so that after the day was finally over everyone moved on. So I wanted to see if they would actually have a whole new cast for the second season.
Life On Mars (US)
Detroit 1-8-7

Kings. Amazing show starring Ian McShane in a modern retelling of the King David story. Damn you, NBC!
