    Favorite short lived Sci-Fi series

    Hi,

    Cat's Custom Mego of Automan got me thinking:

    There were a lot of great short lived Sci-Fi series that just weren't given a fair chance. Among my faves are:

    Manimal
    Automan
    The Magician
    Planet Of The Apes
    Human Target
    The Invisible Man
    Gemini Man
    American Gothic
    Roar
    Invasion


    What are your faves?
    "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
    'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
    Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
    If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

          Quantum Leap was on for five years, so I don't think it qualifies as short-lived, but it could easily have gone another five without running out of ideas.

            Space: Above and Beyond. The production values on this series were incredible.

            Definitely Firefly. It was a completely character driven show. The production values drop off pretty badly towards the end and eventually caused the death of a GREAT show.

            The Powers of Mathew Starr. I think I liked this show. I remember being upset when it was cancelled.

              Wow, I forgot about Matthew Starr. I liked it best when it first started and Lou Gossett Jr. was in it.

              Yeah, I'll add Earth 2 and Space: Above & Beyond to that. And also SeaQuest DSV (not to be confused w/ 2020). Sunday night was good!

                            Hmmmm....

                            -Logan's Run
                            -The Phoenix (although I haven't seen it since I was a kid; so I don't know how much I'd like it now.)
                            -Quark
                            -UFO (I would have liked to see how this one ended.)
                            -the prisioner (Although it was SUPPOSED to end when it did; so I don't know if that counts as short lived.)
                            -The Adventures of Brisco County JR. (Don't know if this counts as short lived either, but I did enjoy it.)
