[Retro4Life]

Hmm, I don't see The Charmings on any of these lists and I really liked that one, which aired on ABC in 1987 I think.

I remember that show very well. Angela Goethals, who played one of Macaulay Culkin's sisters in Home Alone, played the title role of Judith Light's daughter, a tennis prodigy, and William Devane (fresh off Knots Landing) played her coach. Ashley Johnson (Chrissy, Growing Pains) played her little sister.

I loved The Charmings. Best of the West is another one. Although Joel Higgins survived and went on to Silver Spoons the following season.

Yes, 1987-88. Brandon Call, best known as J.T. on Step By Step, played one of Snow White and Prince Charming's kids. The late Paul Winfield played The Mirror.

Another short lived (and good!) Joel Higgins show was Salvage:One. Really a unique show that lasted about 20 episodes or so.

Does anyone here know that Starz never had an original scripted series get past its third season? Several of HBO's and Showtime's original scripted series were long-runners. Most of Starz's original scripted series, like Camelot, Gravity, Party Down, Boss and Magic City, were cancelled after one or two seasons, while Head Case was cancelled after there seasons. The longest-running Starz original series, Spartacus, ran for three seasons and 33 episodes, along with a six-episode prequel titled Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.

TV Guide Says This Sci-Fi Police Procedural Was Cancelled Too Soon, and We Couldn't Agree More

This wasn't your typical buddy-cop duo.
