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.

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.

a long time ago there was a great show called 'wise guy' starring ken wahl. ray sharkey and kevin spacey played heavies.

Great show. Pileggi wrote the pilot, I believe. Basically the Donny Brasco story.

[John Gaspar]

Sports Night was very good. I also liked a show on Sunday night on Fox called Hermans Head. It was after Married with Children. The other I liked was The Naked Truth with Tia (sp?)Leone.

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.

I liked "John Doe" which was on Fox a couple years ago. ABC never gave "Miracles" or "Veritas: The Quest" much of a chance. Not that the latter deserved one. Of course both of those shows could be under the "Best TV shows never to make it to episode five" thread.
