    And also...maybe...some of those Saturday morning shows would be hitting one small age group so as you aged out, someone younger aged in and they hadn't seen the show before.

        These were a little more modern shows I watched that I thought were pretty good:
        Odyssey 5-2002
        Dracula-2013
        Blade: The Series-2006
        Lizzie Borden Chronicles-2015
        The Bionic Woman-2007
        Invasion-2005
        John Doe-2002

            Honourable mentions:

            V (the ongoing series which followed the two mini-series only lasted one season)
            Street Hawk
            Wizards and Warriors
            The Man From Atlantis (the series which followed the four TV movies only lasted one season)
            The Prisoner
            Quark
            Kudos on the Prisoner. If we’re talking British series, another I thought quite funny was Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace.

            For American shows I quite like Outsourced, and my wife and I rewatch it at least once a year. Funny series that nailed the expat experience in Asia.

            We’ve all mentioned it, but POTA is at the top of my list for shows I wish had continued.

              POTA had such a timeline in the movies that I feel like the show could have done more with. Maybe a rescue mission like Brent did in the second movie for the second season exploring a different region.

                Gotta repeat Kolchak: The Night Stalker. For some reason, the episode with people bursting into flames (remember when spontaneous human combustion was a thing) really scared the poop outta me.

                The Magician. If this had continued, I wonder if would've kept Bixby from being Banner.

                Police Squad. The jokes were getting a bit thin by the end of this show's short run, but I don't care.

                The Tick. The one with Warburton. I think it would've only got better.

                Invasion & Flash Forward. I mention these together because each made me highly skeptical of getting onboard for shows that aren't going to explain themselves before getting cancelled. I'm still scarred by the American version of Life on Mars.

                My Living Doll. OK, OK, its just because Julie Newmar plays a living robot who do your bidding. Your dirty, dirty bidding.

                The Sixth Sense & Project UFO. I was a sucker for any unexplained phenomenon back in the day.

                Dang! I watched waaay too much TV growing up!
                WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.

                    Mission Hill, and MTV's Downtown come to mind as great animated series that only lasted 1 season.

                    Diamond select Spider-man hands. Long shot, I know...but ya never know..

                      I'm remembering Denis Leary in The Job. He was a NY detective. It sort of got recycled into Rescue Me where he becomes NYFD.

                          Honey West. I recently watched the whole series on DVD, and I enjoyed it. Also, The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.
