I always thought that "Ed" had one of the best first seasons of any show I have ever seen. Each episode was great.
The subsequent seasons were very disappointing.

"Arrested Development" had an amazing first season. I hope they can continue thier winning streak in season two.

I agree. I think those episodes had the best quality and were the funniest, though I enjoyed the whole series.

The Naked Truth had a great first season but I never liked the NBC years. They changed the show to much.
