Graveyard of short-lived TV series

"So what shows are we talking about for inclusion here? Well, my criteria is a show that lasted for one season or less, and that I've actually had the chance to see. I may also cover those actors who seem to have the poor luck to be with a show during its demise. They get a slight extension on the one season show rule - if they join a show for the last season, then they can also be included (so, for example, Eric Close joined the cast of "Sisters" for its sixth and last season)."


Some good reminders of classics (and cheese, or classic cheese) in there.

For a few shows there is also summary of episodes too, e.g.
Lone Gunmen , Space:Above and Beyond , Alien Nation etc. and of course Odyssey 5 (aka scifi premise with huge potential but didn't get enough viewers -- in the modern cable era I imagine it woulda built up a following and had a solid run of 3-5 seasons!)

A pretty good collection of items there, many of which I've seen.

One item they could add would be the Mighty Orbots, a Japan-US co-production of a team of super robots. It was my favourite program when I was a kid and has a small but loyal cult following. It was surprisingly well animated compared to other new shows at the time and not based on any existing IP. It only made it one season in because of legal action filed by Takara (specifically because of GoBots).

A friend of mine who runs a small comic publishing company was looking at acquiring the rights to the show since they are up for sale and were fairly low priced.

So many shows with potential that got nipped in the bud yargh

 Space:Above and Beyond  and Alien Nation

Both really good

[Mr. Analog]

Absolutely!

Eerie Indiana was pretty good too

They missed Pirates of Dark Water, I think that was a single season.  And Last Resort.

Space: Above and Beyond - Plex keeps downloading the Russian poster for this, which looks like KOCMOC (ie Kosmos)...

[Mr. Analog]

Pirates of Dark Water had 2 seasons

What surprised me was Bucky O'Hare only had 1, I thought for sure it had 2
