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.

And sometimes shows are canceled because its cheaper to make....Reality crap shows.

Cool, another fan. Definitely a show before its time.

I loved that show too man... Too bad I got into it after it finished production. :( (reruns on USA network or something)

Anybody ever remember that show "Manimal"? I remember being a little kid thinking it was really cool, don't think it lasted more than a few episodes =P

Oh, and someone earlier mentioned "Street Hawk", another cool show I enjoyed as a young lad =) Along with Airwolf, The A-Team, etc.

i know these few shows lasted more than 2 seasons i believe but here they go:


Sliders (i think some people were calling this Voyagers??)

Angel - i know lasted more than 2 but it still was the next best thing to Buffy

Roswell - i loved that show but i considered it canned when they moved it to UPN which also ruined Buffy....

Yup. I've seen every ep at least half a dozen times. I've got the full series sitting on top of my TV right now.

There really is a show called voyagers... you travel by using a special pocket watch looking thingy. A guy and a kid. One time they travel back to the time of Tomas Edison, and he took that thing apart wanting to know what it is.

This show rocked.... ahead of its time.

here's the link

How about that X Files spinoff snow? Didn't that only last one season?

But, seriously, I'm not a big sci-fi geek! I was actually happy when Firefly got cancelled.

I think that show was called The Lone Gunman.

I really miss Sherman Oaks. It was a hilarious show and only lasted 2 seasons.

EDIT:
Freshman Diaries
Dead Like Me

Wow, Freshman Diaries, Sherman Oaks, and Dead Like Me were all on the showtime network. This leads me to believe that Showtime really, really sucks ass.

Great show with Rob Schneider - saw an interview with him that said the network censors edited every script down to nothing.

Brisco
Titus
Family Guy (luckily its still living)
