  15. start_wearing_purple7 April 2015 at 11:26

    Firefly is in a class of it's own. I also thought Enlisted really needed a second season.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Last Resorts (I loved that show) and Terra Nova too :)
    I also thought Once Upon a Time in Wonderland was great too.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Good to see another Rubicon fan here :)

  33. Wonderfalls! The first dvd boxset I ever purchased. I needed to watch all 13 episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I voted for No ordinary family.
    But The Secret circle and Star crossed were awesome.
    Park Avenue 666 was intense as well.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Maruschka van Veen7 April 2015 at 12:44

    I miss The Secret Circle, Twisted and The Tomorrow People on this list i would have voted for them and nine lives of Chloe King

    ReplyDelete
  36. Actually it was 666 Park Avenue

    ReplyDelete
  37. Maruschka van Veen7 April 2015 at 12:46

    I hope that they were going to be together, there was something special between them and i would have loved to see more of it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. yeah especially when Alec was arrested for Ben's killings and they talked

    ReplyDelete
  39. Firefly and Studio 60.

    ReplyDelete
  40. creepy and horrifying miniseries but really cool

    ReplyDelete
  41. I loved a lot of these shows and it's disappointing just how many had great potential that the networks failed to see.

    ReplyDelete
  42. One that I would have included was ABC's Eastwick. Absolutely loved it and I still miss it so much!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Moonlight and Tru Calling (Well Tru Calling had two season, but only 6 episodes, anyways was too short)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Ringer. Ringer should have gotten another season. I voted for Caprica and John Doe, too.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Where is Ringer and The Secret Circle on the list ?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Id say The secret circle and The tomorrow people are the shows that come to my mind but Im sure I have more.

    ReplyDelete
  47. When you said it could be on its fourth season it made me feel old lol, time does indeed fly.

    ReplyDelete
  48. The Nine Lives of Chloe King...Loved the script but still hoping that one day the movie could still be made or another network will pick up show...

    ReplyDelete
  49. Jamie Coudeville7 April 2015 at 13:25

    Out of this list I voted for The Nine Lives of Chloe King, I really thought that show had potential (plust that cliffhanger) but also The Secret Circle. I'll be forever bitter about that one

    ReplyDelete
  50. Firefly, Rubicon, Almost Human, The Tomorrow People & if it is not renewed, Stalker. I will never forgive Fox for what they did to Firefly. :(

    ReplyDelete
  51. On this list, Firefly and Flash Forward. I really liked Caprica, but it needed more time to develop into something great. What we got, just didn't get there.

    There are several other shows that deserved to be on this list as well, especially The Secret Circle, Bunheads, and The Tomorrow People.

    ReplyDelete
  52. firefly of course, but moonlight tho ...

    ReplyDelete
  53. Terranova had the potential to be great, but it focused on becoming a family drama. I want more dinosaurs/politics/survival and NOT the father singing spider songs to his daughter. Seriously that was the moment I stopped watching the show.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Firefly, Wonderfalls and I'd like to add The Inside (the Criminal Minds before Criminal Minds).

    ReplyDelete
  55. The Tomorrow People.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Alcatraz, Moonlight, Freaks and Geeks, Almost Human

    ReplyDelete
  57. Motherbleeping Firefly of course!!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Jennifer Renee Beatley7 April 2015 at 15:05

    My so called life!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. A lot of these I haven't seen. Firefly would be the top of the list.


    I also voted for Terra Nova because I did enjoy that show and wished it had continued. I also voted for Caprica, it was not as good as BSG but I liked it well enough.


    I would have voted for Almost Human had it been included in the poll, because I really wish they had given it another season.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Indeed, but I had a limited number of options in UserSubmittedPolls. See my other comment for the complete poll in Google Forms

    ReplyDelete
  61. SpoilerTV only allowed a limited number of options. Please se http://goo.gl/forms/AQpJUVMRnH for the complete original poll. Took a lot of work, but I collected most of the US TV series that had one season in the last 15 years

    ReplyDelete
  62. Stanley Berkley7 April 2015 at 16:04

    The best isn't an option. Freaks and Geeks!

    ReplyDelete
  63. I thought Jake 2.0 ran for two seasons. It's definitely on my list.


    In order: Firefly, The River, Jake 2.0, No Ordinary Family, John Doe ----- Drive

    ReplyDelete
  64. Easy. The one with Gorram Reavers. Where Dinosaurs betray each other. Where the Browncoats fought heroically at the Battle of Serenity Valley. Where there's the Hero of Canton, a man they called Jayne. Where Shiny means cool. The best and only space western I've ever seen: Firefly.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, Almost Human and 666 Park Avenue. Loved those shows.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Oh! I would have voted for Ringer. That show was just finding it's way when it got canceled. I was very disappointed.

    ReplyDelete
  67. 1 season of 16 eps acc to TVrage

    ReplyDelete
  68. Indeed, I looked only at all TV shows made after 2000 (easier to gather all), sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  69. loved that!

    ReplyDelete
  70. I'll submit a poll for 2 season shows. I have the data collected from the original poll.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Flash Forward. No ordinary Family and The Secret CIircle!

    ReplyDelete
  72. What about Profit (FOX, 1996) ?

    ReplyDelete
  73. I loved Bunheads and Twisted.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Almost Human, Bunheads, The Defenders, Intelligence and Twisted

    ReplyDelete
  75. I See Dead People7 April 2015 at 17:29

    Star-Crossed and The River

    ReplyDelete
  76. Firefly and Terra Nova.
    It's also missing The Secret Circle and Bunheads

    ReplyDelete
  77. had only 30 to keep. you can vote all in the full poll http://goo.gl/forms/AQpJUVMRnH

    ReplyDelete
  78. Obviously Firefly and of course, Enlisted and Trophy Wife!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Rooooooooooooooooooooobicon. Absolulely. Truxton Spangler taken down in his prime by the Cancellation Nazis was a grave injustice to TV viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  80. This got me thinking about obscure shows from long ago that I wished had lasted longer. Goes anyone remember Profit or American Gothic?

    ReplyDelete
  81. I really loved Studio 60. It was so well made. Just didn't stand a chance. I blame Fox for Firefly's failure.

    ReplyDelete
  82. There was a Dark Angel marathon on a couple of months ago and I rewatched them all. Jensen Ackles & Michael Weatherly looked so young and Jessica Alba was a baby. Wish it had at least gotten a second season.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Firefly, Almost Human, and one that's not there - Jericho.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Privileged Forever x7 April 2015 at 19:26

    Privileged! It was canceled almost six years ago and I'm still not over it

    ReplyDelete
  85. I voted for "Drive" and "Firefly".
    Also, I dunno if "best" is the right word, but I was bummed that "Ringer" didn't get a second season. Its ending - with good twin Bridget finding out that evil twin Siobhan was alive - hinted at super soapy shenanigans ahead.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Wonderfalls, Drive, and The River from this poll. (I forgot until just now I freakin GREAT Drive was.) I'd also like to nominate The Secret Circle. Still sad about that.

    And American Gothic of course.

    ReplyDelete
  87. TSC and Ravenswood for sure. RW seemed like it was gonna get even darker and trippier, I was so intrigued haha

    ReplyDelete
  88. It got two seasons, 21 episodes each.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Comedy: Trophy Wife
    Drama: Once Upon a Time in Wonderland -- finally a show that got a great finale and that did not end on a cliffhanger.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Terra Nova and Crisis :( I miss TN

    ReplyDelete
  91. Firefly and Freaks and Geeks.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I voted none of the above, because I never watched those shows.
    Here are the shows that I was sad to see go after/during only first season:

    Get Real (1999, FOX)

    Mr. Sunshine ABC, 2011)

    Stark Raving Mad (1999, NBC)

    Thieves (2001)

    (and the ones I never got the chance to see before they ended, but others say were good. FireFly, Go on, My So-called Life, Studio 60, Terriers, The Crazy Ones)

    And there is a long list of shows that I liked, but were cancelled after/during season 2. (examples: Alphas, Dark Angel, DTtB in Apartment 23)

    ReplyDelete
  93. From the list:
    - FIREFLY!!! (first, foremost and forever!!!!)
    - Studio 60 (started weird but foudn it's footing as the season played along. Also Matthew was killing it on that show!)
    - Jake 2.0 (it'was cute...)
    - No Ordinary Family (I liked where it was going by the end of the season)

    Not on the list:
    - New Amsterdam (still bitter about that one... such potential... and, don't get me wrong, I like Forever, but it's not nearly as good as this was)
    - Ringer (it started picking up it's pace midway through. And the unresolved stories from S1 seemed like they could have carried over to an interesting S2)
    - Moonlight (I was so hoping it was gonna get picked up by The CW and get paired up with SPN way back then...)

    ReplyDelete
  94. You're right it did get two seasons. It was just left so unresolved that I wish it had gotten a better ending.

    ReplyDelete
  95. *nods* there was something interesting about that show.

    ReplyDelete
  96. It was definitely gaining traction when it got canceled... it was bit of a bummer!

    ReplyDelete
  97. Perfect show was perfect. So bitter about that one.

    ReplyDelete
  98. *nods* A lot of the more "classic" options are not on the list I noticed...

    ReplyDelete
  99. Oh yeah... that one was cute...

    ReplyDelete
  100. Veronica Asher7 April 2015 at 21:25

    I was going to say, "Where is Pushing Daisies?" but I looked on IMDB, and I guess it had two tiny seasons (late season replacement with 9 episodes and then another 13 in the fall). Great show that got ruined by the writers' strike.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Veronica Asher7 April 2015 at 21:26

    I loved Trophy Wife. Better than what they put in its slot this year.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I'm surprised Painkiller Jane or Believe isn't an option.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Crisis was definantly good but I miss Star Crossed, The Tomorrow People and also AlmostHuman

    ReplyDelete
  104. Yeah I took a look too. And there wasn't a giant hiatus. So I'm not sure why I convinced myself they had two season. Need to check for a DVD. I'd like to own that one.

    ReplyDelete
  105. I'd love to see this poll done by network. The CW one would be insane, especially if people were only allowed to pick one show. I imagine FOX would be interesting too.

    ReplyDelete
  106. That Google Form is fabulous. I'm going to tweet it out. Kudos!

    ReplyDelete
  107. Rush (USA) was an incredible show that should've had another season.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Almost Human and Firefly.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Don't know the shows on the list. Miss Go On.

    ReplyDelete
  110. From this list: Terra Nova, Last Resort and No Ordinary Family. But my all-time favourite one season show is Eastwick.

    ReplyDelete
  111. No Ordinary Family was SL good

    ReplyDelete
  112. From the list, only Common Law. From "outside" of the list, Complete Savages, Trophy Wife, Enlisted, Surviving Jack, Selfie, Better With You, Shit my Dad Says, Guys with Kids, I was going to say Good Morning Miami, but it had a (horrible) second season. That's what comes to mind at the moment. (BTW, loved this poll. Great to reminisce :)

    ReplyDelete
  113. Dark Angel was cancelled after S2 because for one they needed the time slot for a Joss Whedon show - Firefly. At least that was the strongest rumor back then. It even reached me when I did not surf the net. In the end it was the too high budget why it was cancelled. So I never really warmed up to Firefly although enjoyed Serenity. Seeing the fans dedication over the years is making me reconsider.
    BTW there were to official books after DA was cancelled, which finished the storyline.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Besides the poll I submitted here, I also have a big poll with best show on every network (current running shows only). Only one option selectable like you say: http://goo.gl/forms/4F4LFjl4sE
    Too bad the polls that I can submit here can only have 30 options..

    ReplyDelete
  115. had 30 options max. Please vote in full poll (Google link in my other comments).

    ReplyDelete
  116. Thanks a lot!

    Wish I could have submitted it to SpoilerTV and be used instead of only the 30 options I had to pick :(

    ReplyDelete
  117. Firefly, The River, Flash Forward. Not from the list: Intelligence & Alcatraz

    ReplyDelete
  118. From the list: Firefly and Last Resort.


    Off the list: Moonlight.

    ReplyDelete
  119. FOREVER!!! Such an incredible show with amazing characters!
