Television Disappointments

My favorite television shows, canceled after ONE SEASON:
The California Raisins 1989 CBS
Legacy 1998 UPN
Jack & Jill 1999 WB
Fast Lane 2002 FOX
Starter Wife 2008 USA*
Eastwick 2009 ABC

*The Starter Wife had a fantastic 6-hour mini-series -- nominated for ten Emmy Awards -- and it was promoted to a television series. Unfortunately, no one liked the TV show, so it canceled after one season. GRR!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1999 UPN Dilbert lasted two seasons. It was a smart show full of sarcasm and parodies that may have been difficult for some individuals to appreciate, but it was SO well casted.
2003 HBO Carnivàle. The Show won five friggin' Emmys! What is wrong with you people? You cut a wonderful six-season plan.... four seasons short!
2005 HBO Rome's season one was aired, but season two didn't come about until 2007. Boo for making me wait and boo for canceling it! I'm a history buff, damn it!
2007 FX The Riches lasted two seasons. Who doesn't love Eddie Izzard?

1996 Early Edition lasted three years, but I liked it so much, it belongs up here. I think that was aired on CBS.
Well, since Early Edition made the list, I'm gonna add Roswell from 1999 on UPN. I'm not proud of that one now, but I liked it then.
2004 Deadwood on HBO. How does a show win 8 Emmys after 28 nominations AND a Golden Globe... and still get canceled? Plus, we were promised two TV movies after the show stopped and that never came to fruition.


On the other hand, why did these last so LONG?
Ed Edd n Eddy
Married... with Children was like the same thing over and over and over again. Subject matter varied slightly and wit in content would change but in tone or meaning, was the same thing.
South Park was crude, rude, and usually uncalled for. My favorite character (Chef) even left because of low morals.
Robot Chicken
Rugrats. Don't get me wrong - GREAT show.... until that freakin Dil came into the picture. And then they made a "all grown up" show? Please!
