Favorite short lived Sci-Fi series

[Flynne]

Firefly - my number #1 cancellation regret - cancelled before the first episode ever ran. This is my favorite TV show of all-time.
The Tick (live action) - another show that was picking up speed, yet cancelled before it hit the airwaves.
Crusade - I loved this characters that drove this show, but the plug was pulled after only 4 episodes ran.
Babylon 5 - The Legend of the Rangers - who knows if this series would have survived if SciFi had not chosen to premiere it on a Saturday night during the NFL Playoffs (on the same night of the infamous Patriots / Raiders "Tuck Rule" game, no less). It was cancelled when the pilot failed to draw enough viewers.
Voyagers - who knew being and idiot was lethal? Jon Erik Hexum, or at least he might have known if he survived.
Birds of Prey - I totally do not defend my love of this series. It was a guilty pleasure in the extreme.
The Night Stalker (2006) - It wasn't Darren McGavin, but it was alright for what it was.

Everything's been mentioned, but really, if anything deserved a longer run, it was Firefly.

As a young one, The Night Stalker seemed really spooky to me back then. Now it seems pretty "quaint".

I'm just waiting for LOST to start back up.

>Briscoe county was a sci fi show????

Had an extraterrestrial device, time travel, and the professor was always working on "the coming thing."

Dunno if I'd call "Mystery Science Theater 3000" short lived. It was on for ten years....

Some shows mention tough only having one or 2 seasons got re-aired oftten enough it is hard to say they were short-lived (like Galactica)

I can't add anything new to the list but I watched Automan weekly with my friends in high school. I should have taped it when it was re-aired a few years ago for what I believe was the first and last re-air.

I also LOVED man from atlantis.

sort of while set in the old west it is full of "futurustic" gadgets kind of like wild wild west.

I thought Tru-calling was good and deserved some more episodes

Misfits of Science....

[Lanboy]

The Starlost hasn't been mentioned...created by Harlan Ellison, then disowned once he saw the finished product.

Loved Logan's Run and Battlestar Galactica as a kid.

[monkeyboy]

I don't know if this is a fair topic... my Sci-fi tastes lean towards the cheesy, and often BAD, which oddly enough leads to quick cancellation by people who know better than me (or least who get paid better than me).

I'll try to list a few that no one else has...

SU 2 (Special Unit 2)
Eerie, Indiana
VR5
Vanished
Freaky Links
Poltergeist the Legacy
The Others

All I can say is, thanks be to DVD (at least for some of these series)

i was thinking of poltergeist the legacy but couldnt think of name!it was actually on for quite awhile ,but it was hard to find i used to watch on a canadian channel,till cable broadcasters blocked signal!

[JDeRouen]

I was a fan of The Others too!
