Re: Best TV show not to make it past two seasons
Wise Guy by Pileggi is actually the story of Henry Hill, the story that Goodfellas is based on...
Joseph Pistone (donnie brasco) wrote a book called donnie brasco and was the basis for the movie... Also, just for information purposes...the movie Casino is based on the book Enforcer abuot Tony Spilotro...

Re: Best TV show not to make it past two seasons
I would have to agree that sports night was the best show to not make it past two seasons.

Re: Best TV show not to make it past two seasons
I thought "Herman's Head" was brilliant. I was the show's biggest fan.
For about half a season, anyway. I got annoyed, though, when every week Herman had to choose between doing the moral thing, or getting promoted/laid/rich/whatever. He always took the high road. Just ONCE, he could've boned the drunk girl! And Jane Sibbett (Herman's slutty nemesis) was the hottest looking girl on the planet at that time. Reminds me that "The George Carlin Show" was on about that same time, also Fox Sundays. More formulaic tripe, but it had George! Added points that the main supporting character was a bookie.

Re: Best TV show not to make it past two seasons
My pick is The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. I think it premiered on Fox the same night as the premiere of X-Files in the mid 90s, but unlike X-Files, it only lasted one season. Starring Bruce Campbell as Brisco County Jr. it was a great show for anyone who liked the Evil Dead movies and anything else he was in.
