TV Tuesday: One Season Shows

Posted August 26, 2008 by shooting in Uncategorized / 15 Comments

Okay…todays post on TV Tuesday’s is about shows that only last one season. I hate when I start watching a show and loving the characters and then it just ends after only ONE SEASON! How awful is that? Yes, pretty terrible…

Two shows that I started to highly enjoy, which were cancelled after one season were The Class and Moonlight.

To honor those shows, here are a couple clips!

The Class

Moonlight


Discussion Time:
Did any of you watch these shows? What were your thoughts?
Also, what other shows that you loved only lasted one season?

  1. I was sad to see Moonlight go, I really enjoyed it!

    I try to avoid new series because it’s so hard to take if they don’t make it. I did watch Journeyman and was sorry to see that go as well.

  2. For me, Wonderfalls was a fantastic show. Luckily, it’s on DVD so I can watch the episodes whenever I want. It didn’t even last a full season and got canceled after 4 episodes were showed.

    That’s really the only one I can think of cuz I don’t watch TV terribly often, and the shows I do watch go on for more than a season.

  3. I saw the second half of the class and have been waiting for it on dvd so I could see the beginning!

    I like a lot of cancelled shows including Freaks and Geeks 🙂

  4. Margay: I am as well. I started missing a lot as the season went on, but I really did start to love it. My mom was quite upset it was canceled as well.

    Ruth: Why do all the good ones go? LOL
    I get what you mean about avoiding new shows. It really is hard to wonder if a new show you are starting to love will even continue on.

    Book chic: I haven’t heard of that one…so a dvd of just four shows? Well, I’m glad you get that at least!

    I know what you mean. I’m not an extreme tv person either.

    Alea: Is it coming out on DVD? I’d love that, but I hope you get to see the beginning at some point!

    I thought of Freaks and Geeks when I posted this, but I haven’t seen any of the episodes.

  5. Well, a good thing is, I read online that they’re looking to put Alex the gorgeous – I mean O’Loughlin – in a new series, so that will be good.

  6. I hope they release the class on dvd but I’ve never seen anything about it so far! I also liked Wonderfalls…another good one is the show Life As We Know it!

  7. Shannon: Hmm…haven’t heard of that one either!

    Alea: That would be nice if they did. I really loved that show.
    Oh, Life as We Know It. I enjoyed it a ton as well…and the song at the beginning was great.

  8. J.Kaye: There really isn’t a lot of great shows on these days. Alas, Moonlight was on last year and only lasted the one season…I blame the writer’s strike. I think it confused people and nobody knew when episodes were on, so it didn’t do as well…it seemed to be doing great in the beginning!

  9. No, it was a mid-season replacement with 13 episodes that were filmed and everything, but FOX canned it after running 4 episodes because of low ratings (mainly due to the fact that they kept moving it around to different timeslots). I only caught it once or twice cuz I was usually at Stage Crew when they’d show it.

    But the DVD set includes all 13 episodes, 6 commentaries featuring cast and creators/producers, two featurettes, and a music video. So very good DVD set for something that was canceled so quickly.

    For Firefly, I only saw bits and pieces of it cuz my college roomie LOVED that show and had the DVD set and would watch it a lot, lol. I think that was actually another canceled FOX show too.

  10. Book Chic: Oh, I get what you mean. That is a sweet DVD for something they didn’t even show all of on TV. Very nice. That’s a bummer they kept switching it around…that would not help the ratings. All their fault on that one.
