Short-lived TV Show that you are still hoping to see one day?

Checking In (the short lived spinoff of The Jeffersons)--never seen
Forever Fernwood (sequel to Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman)--Saw 1 episode
Grady (spinoff of Sanford and Son)-- Saw 1 episode

There are so many short lived shows out there that didn't make it, but were actually pretty good. It is very rare that a short lived show (that has significantly less than 100 episodes) ever passes the airwaves again. Some exceptions are That's my Mama and Phyllis.

I used to watch Forever Fernwood during it's original run, it was a good show I liked it. The fact that Louise Lasser was no longer part of the cast didn't hurt the show at all, the other actors were still there and the writing remained good. However, I did not like the talk show spoof Fernwood2Night which later became America2Night, to me the show wasn't funny and Martin Mull and Fred Willard were annoying as hell. I think I saw 2 or 3 episodes and then stopped watching it.

Not sure how many of those were on DVD when I started this thread 8 years ago. I know that That's My Mama was on DVD yet

Hi. I haven't been on here in quite some time. McFarland is very close to publishing my reboot of my 2012 book "Single Season Sitcoms 1948-1979," with new info about EVERY show, countless new photos, and countless newly-added sitcoms (including animated ones). So many episodes of rare shows have come my way since the first edition, but I'm still seeking the following, should anyone have a copy -
THAT'S MY BOY 1954
WILLY (2nd format) 1954
IVAN THE TERRIBLE 1976
THE KALLKAKS 1975
A YEAR AT THE TOP 1977
POPI 1976
