Best TV show not to make it past two seasons

[maryfield48]

I made it two seasons because that's how many Sports Night had, and that's easily the best series canned by a network so early. In fact, it's one of my favourite half-hour series ever.

I also liked Bull, a Wall St. based show that TNT ran for one season, and Profit, showed on Fox in the early 90's I think.

For some ungodly reason, I liked 'Space: Above and Beyond' that used to run on Sundays on Fox after football. The production values were pretty crappy if I recall, but it was kinda cool. I think it only went two seasons, but it may have been three.

Haha, I really enjoyed this show too. I wasn't sure if anyone rembered it besides me.

"Space: Above and Beyond" was great! I still remember the theme-tune; I sing it all the time for some reason. I thought it only went one season.

I liked Space Above and Beyond and Earth 2 was ok.

Sports Night was fabulous. I've always been partial to Freaks and Geeks, though. I guess we'll never fully understand those crazy network executives.

The Office. But I don't know if it counts because it's a British show and I don't think they normally run longer than 1 or 2 seasons.

Maybe it didn't make it in the US but, in the UK, The Office was HUGE, and rightly so.

You live there? Do most shows last longer than that? The reason I thought all shows outside the U.S. only lasted 1 or 2 seasons was because of the special features on the Kill Bill DVD Quentin Tarentino was talking about some samurai series Kage nun Gundan or something and how they would make 1 season and if it was a hit, they would come back 4 or 5 years later and make a 2nd and it would be called Kage nun Gundan 2, like a sequel. He said most places outside the U.S. didn't have series running 7 or 8 consecutive years untill they got tired and discontinued them.

Some do, some don't, but the length of time that a show lasts for is never a measure of its success. The Office had two series and two Christmas specials, but it was loved by almost everyone in the country.

See Daveymck's post on Fawlty Towers, it also didn't run for long and was hilarious.
