Directors Favorite TV shows which lasted only 1 season (1 Viewer)

[RickER]

I didnt see anyone say "Nowhere Man", a show from UPN of all places. It reminded me of "The Prisoner" in it's story telling. And how about "The Fantastic Journey", on NBC, way back in 1977 if i recall.

Thank you to Brad Porter for the heads up about that great website for TV series episode guides: epguides.com

There were also lots of great shows that deserved more then only 2 seasons too like Dark Angel.

Also, I am sorry that I am not able to provide info on these shows at this time. If I get the time, I will add some later.

Also, I am adding shows as I think of them:

Adventure, Inc.-It is sad that one of the stars of this show (Jesse Nilsson) died in real life and at such a young age before the final episode aired which might be part of why the show did not have a second season.

The newer Fantasy Island series was kind of interesting although not nearly as good as the original.

Jack of All Trades-A recent silly and fun Bruce Campbell TV show

Deleting Tripping the Rift which seems to be coming back in 2005

By the way, another newer show that I caught this summer on USA, "The 4400" may or may not get more episodes as well so, it too may only last one small but good season despite excellent ratings. I hope that the roadblocks to renewel get lifted.

 

[Nick Sievers]

Freaks and Geeks was by far the best show to last one season. Brilliant.
I also dug American Gothic when it was on.

 

[Zen Butler]

The Honeymooners

My So Called Life

Kindred: The Embraced

Silver Surfer

Alien Nation

 

[Rob Gardiner]

In addition to many fine shows already mentioned by others, how about Greg the Bunny.
