Shows that didn't last long, but were great.

 

My favorite 2 shows that came and went were: Keen Eddie and Andy Richter controls the universe.

What counts as "not long"?

 

At any rate, the following:

Firefly

Wonderfalls

Farscape (yeah, four seasons, plus a new miniseries, but dammit that's not long enough!)

Family Guy

Futurama

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God.

So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me?

Nothing personal. It's just revenge.

Family Guy

Futurama

i second that. they were both damn funny.

Isn't Family Guy back on Cartoon Network with new episodes?

Sports Night

 

and in second place by a large margin: Firefly

"Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin.

"P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle

Isn't Family Guy back on Cartoon Network with new episodes?

New episodes to air on Fox in 2005. Unless they don't want to air them. Then Cartoon Network said they would.

 

Anyway, TV Shows I liked that didn't last long:

 

Deadly Games

Roar(They only aired the first 7 episodes of the 13 episode season.)

Futurama

Family Guy

Invader Zim

 

Can't think of any more right now.

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

I see Futurama on this list but it still lasted 5 seasons with 72 episodes. That's better than most shows do and certainly more than Firefly, Family Guy and many others that people mentioned here.

Angel and Ally McBeal both only lasted 5 seasons although Ally at the end was no longer as good. :huh:

 

I will miss Angel.

Roar(They only aired the first 7 episodes of the 13 episode season.)

And it had Heath Ledger in it before his film career took off.

The Lone Gunmen. That should have been given a better chance.

Birds Of Prey. Yeah, it was dead cheesey but it was fun.

 

It seems that all I have to do is think of the television shows I like... They all get cancelled.

Angel,

 

Family Guy,

 

Birds of Prey,

 

Futurama,

 

Most of Tech TV. :huh:

Roar(They only aired the first 7 episodes of the 13 episode season.)

He was good too.

Harsh Realm ... this I thought was going to be a brilliant show ... turns out it never really had a shot :?

Millenium. Man I miss that show...

Firefly.

 

 

TripleRRR

Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.

Millenium, Firefly, and Doctor Who.

Greg the Bunny, starring Seth Green and Eugene Levy.

 

Oh, and Millenium gets a vote from me, as well.

Millenium, Firefly, and Doctor Who.

There is a new Doctor Who series starting up. The show started in 1963, and it's still going (albeit after a lengthy break), so I'd hardly call it a show that didn't last.

 

I missed Millenium; it ran during the time I didn't have cable, and I've never caught any re-runs.

Fawlty Towers.

 

Only 12 half-hour episodes were made.

Millenium, Firefly, and Doctor Who.

Doctor WHo can never last long enough. It must be ETERNAL!

I'm going to have to second The Lone Gunmen. I wish it had gone longer.

Also, Dark Angel and The Oblongs. And Alf. Definitely Alf.
