Shows That Got the Shaft

Doesn't look like Friday Night Lights will make it past Season 2. Season 1 can be had for cheap on the Bay. Totally worth it.

Season 1 was awesome but 2 fell into the trap of having too many rediculous things happening. The storyline where Landry killed the guy was retarded and practically ruined the show by itself. Usually the High School shows make it 3 seasons before getting stupid (90210, Dawson's, The OC, etc...) so i was very disappointed. NBC moving it to Friday didn't help either. No show will last on fri, sat, or sun night.

Big Bang Theory better return after the strike, or it definitely belongs on this list.

How about shows that lasted too long? Big Bang Theory didn't get canned soon enough, i think they aired at least 3 episodes. lol Yoshi liked it

edit - I knew Yoshi was going to post about this show hahaha

I can't believe someone actually watched that shit, wtf Yosh. The show's commercials/previews made me reach for the remote to change the channel.

I saw one episode. I thought it was decent. It's network tv, though... I mean, what are you expecting?

[Yoshi]

I didn't expect Big Bang Theory to last too long. It's above most of the knuckle-draggers that watch TV. I'm still amazed (and pleased) that NUMB3RS is still on for the same reason.

Clone High

so good, and so underappreciated.

Werewolf, i don't think many people remember this show as it only lasted one or two seasons...but this show led the charge as Fox debuted as a new network, I believe.
I was around 6 years old when I first watched an episode and of course it scared the shit out of me...scared me so bad that I remember this show to this day, some guy transforms into a werewolf who protects humans and shit

any of you older folks remember this show?

also, Tales from the Dark Side
and Monsters, same type of show as Tales from the Dark Side, the intro for this was cool as a family of monsters gets together in front of the tv....I remember one episode that had Jon Saxon (nightmare on elm street) being visited by some ghost bitch everytime he stays in a certain room.

I really liked Invasion, for the first 3/4's of the season, but the storyline moved along way too quickly. They'd revealed who the mysterious body was in the water, way too soon, and pretty much exposed 90% of the characters that were actually aliens. The show just flowed like the writers knew it was only going to last one season.

I think it would be better if more shows were written to only last one season.

Also: Stella.

I think it would be better if more shows were written to only last one season.

Agreed. I've thought many times in the last few years that networks should move more toward taking on shows that are only given so many number of episodes to resolve the series, whether that amounts to a single season, or three, etc. It could shakeup the general scope of storytelling on network tv and keep serials from dragging out b.s. stuff past viewers patience thresholds.
