I caught that show too. It was a great! It's a shame it never aired.

Most of my faves have been mentioned.

Lets add a few more:

The Job
Andy Richter Controls The Universe

The Royal Family-1991

Bagdad Cafe-1990

Sanford-1980

Thea-1993

The Golden Palace
Pepper Dennis
The Adventures of Briso County, Jr.

This must be a young crowd...

The best in my memory were

1) "Occasional Wife" (high ratings but NBC could only afford to renew it or "I Dream of Jeannie"

2) "Bridget Loves Bernie" - canceled because of its controversy

3) "Mister Sterling" - Great show but NBC gave up on it too quickly

4) "Starman" - I liked it; what can I say? :lol:

Agree 100% with the top 2, which were great shows that both should have had long runs. No one mentioned if this is only for sitcoms or all shows but just sitcoms:

Occasional Wife
Bridget Loves Bernie
Love on a Rooftop
He and She
Good Morning World
Gidget

And yes, most of the people here are children or just barely out of childhood.

6) Firefly
5) Undeclared
4) Life As We Know It
3) Birds Of Prey
2) My So Called Life
1) Freaks and Geeks

6) Firefly - saw pilot, didn't like it
5) Undeclared - watched them all, okay, but not great
4) Life As We Know It - saw pilot, thought it was vulgar and offensive
3) Birds Of Prey - never watched, no interest
2) My So Called Life - saw pilot, lead character was an annoying twit
1) Freaks and Geeks - great show, belongs on this list

Not really but I was 15 so not that far off.

My list probably changes daily, depending on what I am reading or watching. Here are six:

Planet of the Apes
Earth 2
It's a Man's World
My Living Doll
Mister Sterling
The Boys

It had to be great to be a teen in the 70's,

It was okay but I would rather have been a teen in the 50s. The best thing about the 70s IMO was that it was the greatest decade for sports. You had all of these leagues popping up all over the place - WFL, WHA, ABA, WTT, NLL, IVA, NASL. It was a great decade for sports, really great.

I'm like the only person around here who has never seen Freaks and Geeks.:lol:

Well, I can't disagree about "Square Pegs"; I loved that show and was sad to hear it wouldn't come back for another season, back when I was in high school. And I fondly remember "Baby, I'm Back". I saw "Occasional Wife" when Comedy Central aired it a few years back but didn't think it was all that special. If NBC had to choose between it and "Jeannie," they made the right choice, but that's just my humble opinion.

But here's one I have not seen mentioned that I fondly remember from Sunday nites in 1978...and often wondered why it never made it, since its lead in was "All in The Family": "On Our Own", with Lyn Greene and Bess Armstrong. It also featured Dixie Carter and Holland Taylor...a great cast and had a catchy theme song. The funniest episode was when the two main characters were somehow working in a doughnut shop and they got into an argument and sprayed each other with jelly filling. The Great Sitcom Book says it was "better written than most of its contemporaries but that ratings were not high enough to warrant it a success." Does anyone else remember this one?

Another one-year wonder that I fondly remembered from childhood was "Kolchak: The Night Stalker." I was very excited when it finally came out on DVD...but after watching it as an adult, I can see now it was not as good as I remembered it being.

And while it wasn't a one-year wonder...there is one sitcom that ran for two seasons that I used to love watching in reruns with my grandmother: "The Mothers-In-Law", with Eve Arden and Kaye Ballard. I was fortunate enough to find a VHS release of 16 episodes of this show on EBAY a few years ago.
A number of people also fondly remember this rarely-seen-today sitcom; I wonder if it'll ever see the light of day in DVD format.

I'd have to say definitely Freaks and Geeks and My So Called Life.

Also, anyone remember the UPN show years back called 'Legacy'? I don't know why but I totally dug that show, obviously not many others did lol

I'll Fly Away, Max Headroom, Police Squad (In Color !), The Powers that Be, The Pursuit of Happiness ('87) with Wendel Meldrum (Miss White, "The Wonder Years").

I'll Fly Away.

One of my favorites also, but I'll Fly Away lasted two seasons.

Aha ! Not quite - 38 episodes. Um..okay, you're right....lemme see......My World And Welcome To It (James Thurber stories) and Camp Runamuck (mainly cuz of Nina Wayne).

THE JOB
MAX HEADROOM

Freaks and Geeks is definitely the best show never to see a second season!
