I still remember them interrupting the NBA playoffs to watch that fvcker cruise along in his Bronco. I kept yelling at them to shoot him so we could get back to the game.

Sports Night - hands down the best show in the last 10 years that's been cancelled after only 2 seasons.

Sometimes a show is the victim of a bad time slot. Some shows are too smart for their audience. Some are victims of Ted McGinley.

I'm surprised no one said this, though it wasn't really a "sitcom"...My So-Called Life, with Claire Daines. I lived off that show.

I really liked Freaks and Geeks. I also liked Invader Zim, but that wasn't a sitcom, it was a cartoon.

2. Bakersfield, P.D

Great choices! I used to love both of them. I also agree with Sledgehammer and Greatest American Hero that were mentioned.

Did Quantum Leap run more than two season? I was crazy about that show!

Quantum Leap may have gone 4 seasons, don't remember. Awesome show, and I think seasons 1 and 2 are now out on DVD.
