I was going to go with Firefly, Wonderfalls, or Freeks and Geeks, but they have all been mentioned. How about Strange Luck

Another vote for Firefly. Still one of my favorite shows of all-time.

To the already mentioned "Freaks & Geeks", "Miracles", & "Chicago Code", I'll add
Oliver Beene
Vengeance Unlimited (1998-1999) with Michael Madsen, basically a redo of "The Equalizer"

I thought Brooklyn Bridge was only one season, but IMDB says 2 and the internet is never wrong, so I can't include it.

I had no idea that was only on for one season, at least formally. But 39 episodes? That's more than The Office and Fawlty Towers, combined.

Really. Makes the shows with only 6 or 8 episodes per season look pretty feeble doesn't it?

Re: Best ONE Season Show ever ?

Since Firefly has 100 or so votes (and gets mine as well), I’ll throw a new one out there

It might not have been the best show ever, but I did enjoy it while it was on.

Surface deserves kudos for having Lake Bell in a bikini at least.

I think that Invasion was the better "strange creatures in the water" one season show that aired that year.

I'll also add Point Pleasant. Not the best, but it was decent. I watched the unaired episodes on DVD.

Fastlane! Nice pick. I love me some Tiffani (not Amber!) Thiessen. It also reminds me of another FOX show I really liked: Jonny Zero. (Not sure if that even lasted a full season, though).

Human Target. Great show. A short while another show appeared with the same title but that has no relation to the original.

Firefly was great as well. Although technically the movie, Serenity, was season two.

Yes it was. Well, except for the crappy ending. But the UK version had a terrible ending as well.

I assume you are referring to the 1992 version of Human Target which lasted for just one season. It starred Rick Springfield as Christopher Chance.

The second version of Human Target started in 2010 and aired two seasons. I don't know if I would call the 18 years between them a short while though. Aren't they both the adaptations of the same comic book? I haven't seen the first series.

Others I would add:

Swingtown
My So Called Life
Relativity

I suppose I would've watched another season of John From Cincinnati, but I was definitely in the 'bitter that it took Deadwood's place' camp. Make that extremely bitter...

No, he's being sarcastic. He's talking about how Human Target season 2 was pretty much nothing like the 1st season other than the title.

I was joking about the second version since most, myself included, would like to pretend season two never happened.

I wasn't aware of the '92 version.
