What were some shows you watched and enjoyed that only lasted a season, or were cancelled when they were still good?
Right away I think of Mission Hill with only one season. I caught this when it re-ran on Adult Swim and thought it was great. Sometimes the episodes focused too much on dirty stuff, but the characters were all well written and likable. What's even sadder is that there were a few episodes that were a fair ways into development before it got canned.
I should be grateful it lasted four seasons, but Home Movies really picked up steam with the second season and each episode continued to be excellent. I guess the ratings weren't there, though, since Adult Swim wouldn't pay for any more after season four. I honestly can't believe a show with that terrible of a first season showed such huge improvement and I really miss seeing Coach McGuirk's antics especially.
Road Rovers was a super good show that was a one season-er. The ratings were good, but I heard that the show crossed the line with parents a few too many times. The characters were unique, it was funny, and the action scenes never got dull.
The Sonic cartoon with Princess Sally ended with only one season and a cliff hanger. The dialog is pretty lame by today's standards, but its dark story was really interesting and Robotnik was a real threat instead of a joke.
Reboot was another victim of parents thinking the show was too dark for kids. It changed from being a lame "game of the week" show with no plot or continuity into something epic and gripping. The final season ended with Megabyte having the upper hand and our heroes not sure how to deal with it.
