The most anti-Indian (Red dot) show ever.

Damn it was funny.
Made it to page 2 hoping someone would say Outsourced. That show was hilarious.

I also loved Sports Show with Norm Macdonald that only made it one season.

Three pages and not one mention of The Brink


Man, I really loved this show and thought it was great. Was stunned that it wasn't renewed.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Technically, it was 2 seasons, but it was really just one elongated season. I mean damn, it starred Lena Heady.

Also Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., which someone else already mentioned.

It was really well produced and fun to watch but the typical suspension of disbelief you use for reality TV was hard to apply here - it felt like watching one of the survival bear grylls type reality shows thinking it was middle of nowhere and then seeing a car drive by on a highway.

Man. That was appointment TV for my roommate and I in the summer of 03.

Poor NFL Twitty babies didn't like the way they were being portrayed.

Yeah. It was less than a half season debut for network TV - as a 13 episode midseason replacement in January that was then shortened by the writers strike to 9 episodes.

Followed by a full season.

It premiered to huge ratings 18M on debut. But it fell by half of that by the end of the shortened season. And then plummeted in season 2 ending around 3.6M when it was cancelled.

I didn't see the whole season (back before DVR existed) but Nowhere Man was a really cool mystery/conspiracy show.


Quote:

Nowhere Man is the story of photojournalist Thomas Veil, who discovers that his life has been abruptly "erased": his friends claim not to know him, his wife claims not to recognize him and is living with another man. His ATM cards and credit cards no longer work. His best friend turns up dead. His private studio is now owned by someone else. His mother, recovering from a stroke, is incapable of confirming his existence. He is ejected from his favorite restaurant as a total lunatic. In the course of a single evening, every trace of Tom's identity is gone.

That one especially sucks because not only was it good, but it was also relatively popular, and certainly popular enough to get renewed. 2nd season was cut short due to the writers strike and then abruptly canceled, possibly in retaliation against the very vocal pro-strike writing team.

I was in 8th grade, and a wisecracking Jason Bateman - that's the kid there - was my hero.
Holy crap I completely forgot about this show. Loved it!

Why did such a fine show as Almost Human get cancelled? It had so much going for it.

Roadies. Showtime series, I think. Really liked it. Great music. I'm a sucker for most things Cameron Crowe.

USA Network had a show called "Manhattan, AZ" sometime around 2000. A truly quirky, bizarre comedy that had some Police Squad!/Naked Gun! vibes. Don't think it made it the full season and haven't seen it online anywhere....

Knights of Prosperity (ABC) was another show that I can't understand why it didn't get a 2nd season. A group of out-of-luck blue collar characters decide they will rob Mick Jaggar. Donal Logue, Sophia Vergara, Moz Jobrani, and Lenny Venito were regulars. Mick Jaggar, Kelly Ripa, and Ray Ramano all guest starred on the show.

Stumptown more recently was another 1 season show that deserved more. I think that was a covid casualty.

It was 2 seasons, but I really enjoyed 'Patriot' on Prime.

It's like Jack Ryan but with more dry, sarcastic/ironic, humor and tons of fun awkwardness.

Mad Dogs on amazon prime. Based on UK show that went 4 seasons.

One of those - "can't believe that guy is in it too?". 4 college friends meeting up in Brazil after drifting apart. Looking at it...surprised it didn't get better reviews. I really liked it and they didn't completely finish telling the story. 1 season was great though.
