Best ONE Season Show ever ?
This talk about cancelled shows got me thinking
What is the best one season show ?
To be eligible, show must only have one season, it can't start season 2 then get cancelled (e.g. Off Centre).
It must have got through the first season in terms of intended number of episodes being made for that first season.. If they didn't all air, that's ok as long as their got released somehow (dvd or aired overseas, e.g. Threshold)
13 episodes seasons are eligible if they meet the above conditions because that was the original intention, doesn't matter it got cancelled before the back 9

The Class (2006) - starring Jason Ritter and Jesse Tyler Ferguson (of Modern Family) was a pretty good sitcom.
Blackadder Goes Forth - Does this count since there were a few incarnations of Blackadder?
Dare I say it? THE BRADYS, ftw.

... and to this list I have to add:
Philly (2001-2002)
- Kim Delaney and Tom Everett Scott are attorneys in a small law firm in Philly. Delaney left NYPD Blue to do this show.The Chicago Code (2011) - Jason Clarke, Jennifer Beals, Delroy Lindo starred in a show that ended much too soon. Lindo chewed up every scene that he was in as a corrupt city official.

Does Firefly even count? I don't think it was intended to be just the 14 episodes. I like Wonderfalls too, but I'm also unsure if it completed production of a full season as intended.
I'm going to say My So-Called Life. I think it qualifies because while it only had 19 episodes, I'm not sure that episodes were dropped. I know it did have a planned finale and AFAIK, there was still a reasonable possibility of a second season. I think ABC even wanted to order additional scripts, but the creator declined in order to work on other projects since Danes had made it clear she wouldn't return for a second season.
Space: Above and Beyond was also a pretty good show that only got one full season.
