Everyone must have a favorite one year wonder that only lasted a few episodes, less than a season.

Mine is http://www.tvobscurities.com/shows/new_people.htm
The New People [1969-1970]

My favorite is Under One Roof with James Earl Jones, Joe Morton, Vanessa Bell Calloway and the late, great Merlin Santana. After that it's:

Dangerous Minds with Annie Potts

South Central

My So-Called Life

Yes, that was the best hope for an African-American based drama. I would have liked to see it given a chance. 413 Hope Street was pretty good, City of Angels: I wanted to like but I thought it was ordinary. captain59, I agree with Byrds of Paradise, that's another show I liked. It featured Seth Green and Jennifer Love Hewitt before they became better known.

Raising Dad was a good sitcom, that IMO had potential.

funky-rat · 01-28-2004, 06:00 PM

Police Squad was great, but my favorite short lived show was First Monday. I thought it was well done - it had gotten rave reviews and CBS kept bragging that it had such great ratings. And they ended it on a cliffhanger!!! UNFORGIVABLE!!!! Now we'll never know.

I loved Tom Arnold's first series, "The Jackie Thomas Show".

Just got it on disc and was surprised it co-starred a young Paul Feig ("Freaks & Geeks").
