User:IJBall/One-season wonders

The following is a list of some of my favorite "one-season wonders" (i.e. shows that ran only one season before being cancelled), along with some other "one-season wonders" that I'm at least somewhat fond of or whose article I'd like to keep an eye on. I've cheated in a few cases and included shows that ran more like "a season-and-a-half" (e.g. Tru Calling). Note that this list is by no means meant to be inclusive, and is only designed to include those one-season wonders that were "favorites" of mine (which explains the absences of shows like Frank's Place, My So-Called Life or the Melrose Place revival, etc.)
