What is your favourite one season TV show?

..

 

Without stopping to think about it, "Firefly" is screaming out in my
head as the answer since I'm fresh off of being converted. If I stopped
to think, I might come up with "Police Squad" or something of that ilk.

But sitting back and looking, "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr." has
to be the correct answer. But "Firefly" ain't far behind. It's pretty
shiny.

I wonder what I'm forgetting.

ObAVDVD: Bring Brisco to DVD!

 

Tough one, but off the top of my head, I really wanted to see more of
"The Oblongs".

 

Firefly, without a doubt.

 

"Brisco County"
or
"Action!"

T.B.

 

Struck By Lightening

 

I'd go with Brisco County

Followed by American Gothic

 

None of the ones already mentioned made it to Dutch TV I guess, never
seen them (maybe Police Squad). Of the US shows that did, I'd say "The
Powers That Be" and "Freaks and Geeks".

 

Probably "My World and Welcome to It." It aired on NBC during the 69-70
season, and starred William Windom as a cartoonist whose drawings were
frequently brought to life in daydreams. All of the cartoons in the series
were actually the work of cartoonist James Thurber.

"Kolchak: The Night Stalker" would have to be a close second, though I still
prefer the TV movies that inspired the series.

 

Jonny Quest

 

Fastlane

 

Kolchak: the Nightstalker! (please come to dvd).

Of course, there was that very brief (inspired from a TV movie)...the Brady
Brides.

Another was a series about a minor league baseball team (was in the '80's and
starred Bernie Casey).

 

The Prisoner
Action
Police Squad
Battlestar Galactica
Quark

 

The Tick.

 

Lots of the choices already given would make my final list: Firefly,
Kolchak, My world..., and Brisco, but I'd at least like to nominate the
half season series "The Lone Gunman"

dick
-- I'm still waiting for the season finale cliffhanger to be resolved.

 

1. Brimstone (FOX, 1998-1999).

Tied for 2nd:
-------------------
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. (1993-1994)

Crusade (TNT, 1999)

John Doe (FOX, 2002-2003)

The Ellen Show (CBS, 2001-2002)

Firefly (FOX, 2002)

Keen Eddie (FOX, 2003)

Peacemakers (USA, 2003)

Special Unit 2 (UPN, 2001-2002), "technically" two seasons,
but had only 19 episodes total (S1: 6, S2: 13), so I'm
counting it.

Strange Luck (FOX, 1995-1996)

The Tick (FOX, 2001-2002)

Wonderfalls (FOX, 2004)

 

Absolutely! the most literate comedy ever to air on American
television. Has it ever been seen since? I'd give anything to revisit
that series. I had heard a rumour that"My World" had not been properly
preserved and some of the colour negatives were missing and prints had
deteriorated. I hope not! I'd welcome a full-series DVD set of this
one.

Also quite good.

Another fine one-season series from 1966 was "Hawk" with Burt Reynolds
as a Native-American detective. That's been running on a local
channel and the colour is gorgeous!

Two more for the pot; "It's About Time," ("- It's about Space, It's
about a Faraway Long-ago Place...") an atrocious comedy about cavemen
being visited from the future, then they go back to the modern world
of the 60's. I still remember some of the scenes line for line though
I haven't seen it since it aired in first run.

And "My Living Doll" with Julie Newmeyer (Newmar) which actually is a
season and a half I think and has run in syndication ocassionally.
