this list we’re looking at TV’s greatest
series that for one reason or another
burned out after a single season I love
you oh it’s so gross when you say it
number 10 terriers if the guy who wrote
Ocean’s eleven and worked on the shield
cannot score more than one season for a
highly rated crime series what hope is
there for new television does he make
you laugh he doesn’t make me cry
executive produced by Sean Ryan Terriers
was a quirky comedy drama about a pair
of unlikely private investigators who
end up getting involved in all kinds of
trouble across the beaches of San Diego
despite being hailed as one of the best
releases of 2010 FX was left with no
choice but to cancel terriers due to
people simply not tuning in to watch
Donal Logue and Michael raymond-james
his misadventures at that point terriers
was fx’s lowest rated show of all time
Jesus God I hope you have a plan
number nine prophet occasionally a
project comes out that is simply ahead
of the curve unfortunately such an
impressive feat rarely leads to a long
to put in words the grief I feel for
words like nature hath revealed and I
I seem that sad predating The Sopranos
and Mad Men profit focuses on the
vicious lengths that a moral protagonist
Jim profit is willing to go to move up
the business ladder frequently breaking
the fourth wall to speak directly to the
audience adrian pasdar delivered the
performance of a lifetime as the frankly
sinister main character created by john
McNew mara and angels David greenwalt
profit was incredibly controversial for
the time and would have surely been a
hit if it was released a decade later
and anyone who thinks controlling people
as a science is dead wrong it’s hard
number 8 Kolchak The Night Stalker
spooky and influential this series
deserved to make the headlines ok do
crisis you did say crisis so that means
do you agree that there was something
very strange board this boat ship the
boat ship whatever it’s not was down
here last night and I saw something
absolutely incredible before I go before
I was blacked out but I didn’t see it
fueled by the success of two TV movies
Kolchak The Night Stalker centers around
a journalist who investigates crimes
with a supernatural twist considered to
be a huge inspiration for the x-files
ABC’s series hit the right balance
between horror drama and mystery aging
surprisingly well and considered a cult
classic a follow up was created in 2005
but nightstalker lacked the charm of the
original arguably among Darren McGavin
best work
Kolchak the Night Stalker and its
preceding movies are worth seeking out
judge for yourself its believability and
then try to tell yourself wherever you
may be it couldn’t happen here
number 7 Clone High a weird premise can
make or break a series
sadly the former proved to be the case
with this teletoon mtv cartoon you don’t
think dating an old friend would be
better you know maybe someone that you
know you take for granted no I like Cleo
an adult comedy set in a high school
populated by clones of historical
figures including the likes of Abraham
Lincoln Muhammad Gandhi JFK and
Cleopatra Clone High delivered more than
enough heart and humor to elevate the
content beyond a simple gimmick created
in collaboration between the writers and
directors of the Lego movies Phil Lord
and Christopher Miller and scrubs bill
Warren’s Clone High struggled to gain
much
action upon release but is recognized
today as a minor masterpiece of animated
comedy number six terranova time-travel
dinosaurs and Steven Spielberg Fox’s
sci-fi epic appeared to possess all the
right ingredients to forge a truly
mesmerizing experience with a high
production value and a strong opening
Terranova saw the last remnants of
humanity migrating back to prehistoric
times in an attempt to start over in
hindsight the idea of Terra Nova was
arguably more appealing than the season
that was actually produced but the
series seemed to be picking up momentum
during its final episode after Terra
Nova’s cancellation Fox attempted to
shop the series around two other
networks but nobody took the bait kinda
makes you wonder what else is out in the
Badlands waiting for us number 5 vinyl
[Music]
though this series was initially renewed
for a second season
HBO proved to be a bit of a tease after
Rena gang on the announcement a
celebration of the 1970s rock and roll
scene finals pilot episode was directed
by Martin Scorsese and boasted a
genuinely great turn by Bobby Cannavale
as a washed-up record exec who
experiences something akin to a
reawakening driven by nostalgia and
praise for its great direction vinyl
peaked during its opening couple of
episodes with reviews becoming less
favorable as the season continued while
far from HBO’s greatest work vinyl might
have just needed some more time to find
its groove for my so-called life modern
teen TV dramas Oh a lot to whinny
Holtzman’s short-lived ABC series would
it kill you to admit it maybe treater
halfway decent starring homelands Claire
Danes my so-called life tackled
hard-hitting social issues like
alcoholism adultery drugs and homophobia
more importantly these topics were
ingrained into the narrative rather than
isolated within the context of an
after-school special
back in the 90s high school was often
depicted as a fun and almost sterile
landscape but my so-called life painted
a much harsher and realistic portrayal
of teenagers despite the first ever
online campaign to save the show my
so-called life spore ratings and
Gaines’s reluctance to return buried any
chances of a second season you liked it
though right
number three police squad this might
come across as pretentious but police
squad was simply too clever for the
early 80s
Jim fells a teller no Jim Johnson how
was Jim fell he’s the auditor Frank he
had the flu so Jim filled in Phil who
filled in he’s the night watchman
canceled by ABC after only airing for
episodes the precursor to the Naked Gun
trilogy features all of the clever
wordplay and brilliant visual gags that
define the best films created by the
sucker brothers or Jim Abraham’s serving
as the first taste of Leslie Nielsen as
Frank Drebin police squad has not lost a
beat after all these years and would
have been a huge success in a post
Simpsons world on the bright side the
Naked Gun was a pretty decent
consolation prize number two freaks and
geeks studio meddling is often cited as
a primary reason for a project’s failure
and freaks and geeks is the perfect
example I’m sick of you guys getting me
in trouble all the time sick of you guys
period executive produced by Judd Apatow
and created by Paul Feig NBC’s teenage
comedy went against the grain by
refusing to depict the characters as
winners or to sugarcoat the problems
faced by adolescents the show Lampoon –
the typical high school cliches while
still making its characters remarkably
relatable starring the likes of James
Franco Seth Rogen and Jason Segel it’s
almost laughable that freaks and geeks
failed to become popular in 2001 Judd
Apatow returned with undeclared which
was also canceled after a single season
before we unveil our topic here are a
few honorable mentions I went through a
choice to clear my head which is what
I’m now in the code I kept thinking
Larry but how inconvenient is blowing up
a plane ah do you hear that yeah do you
think it’s some kind of deranged lunatic
with an ax waiting out there in the
darkness for innocent victims right Greg
crazy people know they’re crazy crazy
insane Oh crazy like when I put a video
camera in my house and pretended I was
on Big Brother crazy insane number one
Firefly so who saw this coming Joss
Whedon’s Firefly could have and should
have been massive but Fox decided to
mess with its own show also I can’t kill
you with my brain by airing the show’s
first season erratically and out of
order Fox made it impossible for the
show to get the viewership it needed to
satisfy their need for ratings
by 2002 Whedon had already created Buffy
the Vampire Slayer and Angel
so it’s genuinely puzzling that Fox
showed so little confidence in Firefly
lasting for fourteen brilliant episodes
fireflies entire run feels like a
best-of compilation serenity was a fine
enough conclusion but there’s no such
thing as too much Malcolm Reynolds we’re
not thieves but we are thieves
point is we’re not taking what is do you
