presto123 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 The main one that occurs to me is Invasion. It only lasted one season and I have that season on DVD. I can't believe it got axed. I would put it right up there with LOST based on that one season. Anybody else catch it? Produced by Sean Cassidy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Saw some episodes of Invasion...looked like it had potential but it's all about ratings. There are tons of great shows that didn't last long and it seems with every year and the expansion of cable shows the list is going to get longer. I seem to be fan of only short lived TV series (and can't remember names for shit) so I looked up a bunch I used to watch to help me remember. My So Called Life (from about 20 years ago). Terriers Outsourced Pushing Dasies Fastlane Freaks and Geeks Keen Eddie Life On Mars Miss Guided American Gothic Grounded For Life TITUS!!!!!! Then there was this sitcom about 2 broke guys who used to make money by being parts of medical experiments...Can't recall the name but it was damn funny. There are tons more and I suppose the older you are (like me) the more you will be able to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (Union 5-3992 @ Aug 24 2012, 10:03 AM) King of the Hill I hope that's a joke considering the show ran for over a decade I agree with those who mentioned Firefly, Freaks And Geeks and Arrested Development. At least AD was given a few seasons but the other two shows were never even given a chance at all If a show can get at least 4 or 5 good seasons, it doesn't bother me too much if it gets cancelled because it was at least given a decent shot. When good shows get axed after one season or even before the season has had a chance to air all the episodes is what really bothers me. At least give the show some time to find an audience first before canning it. Some of the greatest, most loved shows of all time, like Seinfeld for example, weren't runaway hits when they first started.

It is quite good, even though it only ever got to 18 episodes and had a major cast overhaul. (I also have all the episodes of Ashes To Ashes too).
