    Default Your favorite shows that were cancelled after 1 season?

    Im sure we'll see plenty of love for freaks and geeks on here, as well as love for firefly (though, ive never seen it. not my cup of tea)

    but what are other shows your thouroughly enjoyed only to be let down due to the fact that they were cancelled or completed after 1 season

    ill get the ball rolling with the now defunct FX show, Terriers. Basically, its about a now sober ex cop who started a PI business with a former thief. Pretty basic premise, but still a really well written and acted show. stars Donal Logue (the dad from grounded for life) and Michael Raymond-James (rene from true blood)

    the shows now on netflix for anyone who found interest in that short, lacking synapse

    what other shows do you guys got?

    I kind of liked Jack & Bobby. Although I haven't watched it since it was still on air...

    Oh, Undeclared was pretty good too. Another Judd Apatow show. Not quite as good as Freaks and Geeks.

    Freaks and Geeks was quality, had a lot of potential and launched a ton of big careers.

    My So Called Life.

    Never saw an episode of firefly, but heard great things about it. May check it out eventually.

    The annoying thing about Freaks and Geeks is that now it's too late to pick it back up. With shows about adults like 24, Arrested Development etc you can bring them back years after they got cancelled and jump back into things

    But Freaks and Geeks the best you could do is like a class reunion movie or something because everyone's aged too much to pick back up anywhere near where things left off. The network just f*cked it all up and there's no way to really fix it

    There's only an unaired pilot. It's the dumbest shit ever, but totally awesome The 2 main characters are:

    Jack Austin, a former astronaut. He was exposed to inappropriate levels of solar energy, giving him superintelligence. He appears to lose this intelligence at night, requiring only Earth-normal levels of daylight to reactivate it. His catchphrases are "I know EVERYTHING!" and "Knowledge is power... for real." Played by Jack Black.

    Heat Vision, a talking motorcycle. He was created when Jack's unemployed roommate Doug was shot by a ray, causing him to merge with his motorcycle. He is capable of speech and can fight by ramming into opponents. He is unable to use doorknobs and is unable to right himself if pushed over. Voiced by Owen Wilson.
    It's written by Dan Harmon (Community) and directed by Ben Stiller. Awesome stuff.

    I could just see the suspenseful cliffhanger setup....

    *Jack is trapped in a room and tied to a bomb. There are only 25 seconds left before it detonates. Heat Vision arrives on the scene*

    "Dammit Jack! There's a doorknob! WHY do I have to be a MOTORCYCLE??"

    *To be continued.....*

    Don't know if this counts but there was a comic who made 3 episodes of a show that won a comedy central pilot competition (including development, so it may be produced eventually). It was an ingenious idea- it's set up like an 80s-90s family sitcom only that one of the characters is a homeless drug addict name Moonrock

    Here's the first 3 episodes (only about 9 min each):

    I'd actually like to see that turned into a real series.
