Cult TV : Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

Off the top of my head, I can think of THE OBLONGS, UNDERGRADS, MISSION HILL, and CLONE HIGH. Also POLICE SQUAD, SPY GROOVE, and CLERKS: ANIMATED SERIES, and ROBOTECH if the three Sagas count as 1 Season.

These considered Cult TV shows?

Firefly.

It was going to come sooner or later anyway.

Also The Prisoner, but that was never intended to go more than one season anyway as far as I know so it probably doesn't count.

Buffalo Bill

I'll never understand what happened to Buffalo Bill with Dabney Coleman. It was hilarious.

THE OBLONGS, UNDERGRADS, MISSION HILL, and CLONE HIGH.
These considered Cult TV shows?


I'm not familiar with Undergrads or Mission Hill, but I would say they qualify for cult shows.

Mine in no particular order, just basically as I recall them. some them are a little below being a "favorite" but I still have some attachment to.


Quark
Jack of All Trades
Cleopatra 2525
When Things Were Rotten
Wizards & Warriors
TV 101
WIOU
Voyagers
The Fantastic Journey
Tales of the Gold Monkey
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
The Flash
Special Unit 2


A couple I liked but I don't call "favorites"

The People Next Door
Nearly Departed
Good Grief



I normally think Max Headroom, but for some reason even though it has very few episodes it had 2 seasons. Faulty Towers also falls into this category as does Campion

Both pretty decent animated shows.

UNDERGRADS (2001) is like a college sitcom.

And MISSION HILL (1999) is about a smart teenager that goes to live with his older brother and his odd group of friends. Created by Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

OK Mission Hill I had seen part of an episode or two. It didn't really grab me at the time.

This space for rent.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

Freaks and Geeks

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

Yes Freaks And Geeks needs to be mentioned many times. Great show and all 18 episodes are great.

My So Called Life should be mentioned also even though I thought it was over-rated.

Yes that was the one. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096659/

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

...whitelion, only one season for KOLCHAK....

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

I'd have to say:

Tales of the Gold Monkey,
Firefly,
Drive,
and Special Unit 2, although I think technically they got 2 series.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.- A great show

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

undeclared

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

The Book of Daniel

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

I agree. I guess the mainstream viewing audience didn't get it, or it was up against strong competition. I forget those kind of details.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

I guess I should've included Clerks: The Animated Series. Only lasted 6 episodes, but...

Oh, and Police Squad with Leslie Nielson. Hilarious.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

3-South,Clone High,Clerks(animated series), and Undergrads were four awesome cartoons all around the same time that only lasted 1 season.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

Visionaries needed to go on longer it was brilliant.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

I would add to the list:

Moonlight- A really good vampire show for the above 14 crowd
Pushing Daisies- I love Bryan Fuller's work
Eerie, Indiana- I really thought this series had a lot of potential.


I like sci fi shows and supernatural shows, I am so sick of the nightly crime dramas and the reality television talent shows and remodeling and workout shows and cooking shows and all the other boring stuff. There is never enough sci fi on TV for true fans.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

Yes, Eerie Indiana was awesome and had great potential. I was so sad to see it go.

"Probe" with Parker Stevenson. It had the misfortune to be in production when a writer's strike happened. After the strike, production was never resumed, for unknown reasons.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

Lazarus man!
Surprised nobody has mentioned it. I really enjoyed it for the short time it was on our screens, damn shame it never had a chance to really get going but the circumstances of its cancellation were pretty tragic and understandable.

Keef, trying to make sense out of chaos!

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

I believe Clone High was intended to be only one season. More than one season would be too much, specially the way it ended.

Pushing Daisies, as mentioned by BuffySchultz2004 was really awesome. It actually had two seasons, but like how Sarcophilus said of Jericho the second season was too hurried, the reason I, despite being a hugh fan of Pushing Daisies, never bothered to watch it. It's like meeting a great person for the first time in one day, then the next day going to his funeral because he died that morning. It would be too depressing to watch the funeral of Pushing Daisies, knowing that not even Ned could reanimate it with his touch.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

I am surprised no one mentioned kings, I saw the first episode on late night tv and was sucked into it, sadly I moved countries and never saw past episode 7. Even though the series was never completed I still would have liked to see the rest of the shows. and of course then there is firefly.

Shut up little man!

I suppose. Much like what happened on DUCKMAN, I hate it when show's try to end with cliffhangers.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

I'll echo Firefly, as it's the obvious answer here.

I'd like to add Caprica, which was awesome. I also really liked Tru Calling and Defying Gravity.

Several good shows have been mentioned which actually got into its 2nd season: Cleopatra 2525, Jack of All Trades, Jericho, Pushing Daisies. Liked them all but they did make it passed their first season.

Hard to say how many of them are really considered cult shows...

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

Earth 2
Tales of the Gold Monkey
The Powers that Be
Kolchak The Night Stalker

NO SEASON 2….WHY? 'LIFE ON MARS' (IDIOT WRITERS-PRODUCERS)

I Found "Life on Mars" an OUTSTANDING Police-Crime drama with REAL Talent supporting the show. Too Bad that the Writers made the Show's Cast look and Act like Morons on the Last Show! Space Ships? Time traveling? Body transformations? WTF! A bomb blast or having a criminal just walk in a Shoot everyone DEAD. Would have been at least somewhat PLAUSIBLE!

'Charles (Jerry) Dunphy aka "From the Mountain to the Seas"

Re: NO SEASON 2….WHY? 'LIFE ON MARS' (IDIOT WRITERS-PRODUCERS)

Nowhere Man, Boomtown and Kingpin to go along with many already mentioned.

You know what hurts the most is the... the lack of respect. You know? That's what hurts the most.

Re: NO SEASON 2….WHY? 'LIFE ON MARS' (IDIOT WRITERS-PRODUCERS)

Dittos! Boomtown was GREAT! Did not see Kingpin (but will) The SAME evolution (moronic) is occurring Again! Are we NOT all tired of seeing another great drama get sold down the Infamous L.A. River! ATTENTION: SOUTHLAND. Need I say more? NBC (NOBODY CARES) Sold the show to Turner and they made Southland WORK! With anticipation of another WTF season Fans are well seasoned to watch CBS and never having to change the channel, except to Fox (Once-in-a-while).

'Charles (Jerry) Dunphy aka "From the Mountain to the Seas"

Re: NO SEASON 2….WHY? 'LIFE ON MARS' (IDIOT WRITERS-PRODUCERS)

I was going to say Nowhere Man. Great show.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?

The Class
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0484082/

Cult classics: Freaks & Geeks, Undeclared, Firefly, Clerks: The Animated Series.

And I also liked the American Life on Mars and Jack & Bobby.

Re: Favorite TV shows that never made it passed Season 1?


Night Stalker You realize you are in a cult conspiracy of satan don't you? He will trick at every turn as you trick your followers. Same old tired promises.



Be sure you're right, then go ahead
