The single season show cancelled you liked/loved - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Yong Fang · 05-09-2014, 12:09 AM

Ok, which newshow or shows in the 2013-2014 season that were cancelled that you really liked or loved?

For this year, it is "Dads". Dads to me was hilarious. I looked forward to watching it every week. I do not know what the critics deal was against this program, again, I found it great, and loved all the actors in it. I have fallen down laughed at a few situations. To me, this was one of the best sitcoms on. Oh well.

Last year, it was Animal Practice on NBC. That show wasn't given a chance either. In 2010-2011 it was The Good guys on Fox.

So what shows you really enjoyed that was a one and done?

Even though it's not official yet I'm going with Trophy Wife. I think it's a well written and funny show. I also enjoyed Dads.

Hostages and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland from this year. My all-time favorite one season sitcom is Dag from 2000, I wish it would be released on DVD.

My all time one season show would be Square Pegs, one of the most famous one season shows ever. This year it would be Trophy Wife, which was cute (though unrealistic on so many levels). Reminds me of the ABC 2003-2004 season where I watched three shows that only lasted a year: I'm With Her, Married To The Kellys and It's All Relative.

Most WB comedies, such as Maybe It's Me, Do Over, Greetings From Tucson, Run Of The House. Now the WB is officially shutdown for the rest of its life.

I usually do not get invested in TV shows during their first season for fear of them being cancelled. Just my opinion.

comedyfreak · 05-10-2014, 03:44 AM

Let me add Growing Up Fisher to the list, which was a good fit for About A Boy.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who really enjoyed Dads! It had some bad episodes, but there were also some very funny ones. It's a shame FOX stuck with unfunny Brooklyn Nine Nine over Dads. Oh well, FOX can keep its crappy ratings next season.

Malibu Country is my most recent favorite one-season wonder.

Others from the past:
Firefly
The Gates
All-American Girl
The Help
Thea
Life on a Stick
Stacked

I'm know there are others, I just can't think right now.

Jack Gomez · 05-13-2014, 04:44 PM

I really enjoyed Enlisted this year and I'm sad to see it go. I hope it will be put out on DVD with the last few episodes that didn't air.

mets82 · 05-13-2014, 05:34 PM

James, I agree about not watching the first season as it might get cancelled. Seems to be happening more lately.

For my show, I liked Privileged. It was a show that had Lucy Hale and Joanna Garcia. It aired on the CW.

Nyan · 05-14-2014, 10:59 AM

Happy Town and Alcatraz are my favorite one season wonders. There's not nearly enough Sam Neill on TV. Yeah, Peaky Blinders but that's not a US show.
