I watched that all the time in (I believe) Jr. High. Same with Mission Hill and The Oblongs (it had Will Farrell! --> mind blown). All of them only had the 1 season of like 10 episodes.
Oh Teletoon, how I miss your late nights.
Same deal here. Good stuff.
I remember the show Life on NBC. I caught a few episodes here and there. That one actually seemed to have potential.
Was Airwolf the one where they parked it on train tracks and destroyed the helicopter in the last episode? I remember how much that pissed me off as a kid and couldn't understand why they would do that...
Airwolf ran successfully on CBS for three seasons before being canceled. Not content with their 24-hour schedule of awful movies and cleavage, the U.S.A. Network decided to pick up the show and make it themselves. However, they had a shoestring budget, which is bad news on a TV show based entirely around futuristic helicopter fight scenes. This led the minor problem of not actually having access to the helicopter at all (they no longer owned it). That's right. They were trying to do an Airwolf series without using any shots of Airwolf. Thus each episode was carefully constructed from previously aired footage of Airwolf, walking a fine line between hysterically ####ty and just plain sad.
I just don't invest time in new series anymore, as the last few I liked get cancelled mid-season in their first season! Last one I enjoyed was "A Gifted Man", got canned just after wife and I were hooked.
Now we wait a season or two then get caught up using Nexflix or the such.. Examples would be Breaking Bad, Man Men, and Community.

Back in the early 80s there was a Steven Bochco show called Bay City Blues about a small town minor league baseball club. It had names like Dennis Franz and Sharon Stone before they were anybody. It lasted all of 8 episodes and I'm sure it wasn't very good but I still remember being pissed as a kid when it was cancelled. I also think the name was too similar to Bochco's Hill Street Blues which is one of my all time favourites.
I'd echo many of the other suggestions, including Freaks & Geeks; Undeclared; Life.
Two shows that haven't been listed (that I could see), are:
- Knights of Prosperity. Sitcom about a group of financially struggling individuals who hatch a plan to break into Mick Jagger's NYC apartment, and rob him. Really funny, and great for fans of Donal Logue and Sofia Vergara.
- Reunion. Drama opening with the 20th high school reunion of a group of friends. One of them has been murdered. It was supposed to run for 20 episodes, with each episode being a year in their life, starting with their high school graduation and ending with the killer revealed on the 20th and final episode. Fox cut it short around episode 13 so you never find out who the killer is. I won't argue it was a great show, but it had a great premise, surprisingly good character development, given its unusual conceit, and was very entertaining.
