It felt pretty interesting. I would have loved it to continue.
I totally agree but this happens way too often. Some shows doesn't even get that many episodes believe it or not.
I'm suprised Randy Giles didn't mention this one. I loved this show. It was on after I'd go to bed so I'd set my alarm to get up and watch it.

Off the top of my head, the British Sit-com Fawlty Towers was great, but it only aired for one season. By the time I found out about it (early nineties), it had already been off the air for years, but yeah.
But yeah, Rome, Firefly, and Veronica Mars (though admittedly I didn't get a chance to watch two much of any of these, though I know that I eventually will.)

Only 12 episodes but it's still 2 seasons. More of it hadn't been wrong though. I wonder why it went off the air though. If the ones making the show thought it was enough or if it got cancelled.
I don't know for definite but I think they just decided to stop it and not let it descend into something far from what it was at the outset.
John Cleese and Connie Booth, who wrote and acted in it, were going through a divorce by the second season but I've never heard of that being a reason. I love the fact it's so short, it makes me appreciate it so much more and it was consistently awesome!

Aren't brits much better at this? Compared to americans at least who seem to drag things on forever if they get the chance.

I agree with you except for um...Dr Who? LOL
For the most part, I'd say yes. Gavin and Stacey is another one that just said, 'we're stopping now' and that had three seasons of six episodes (I think). Only Fools and Horses kind of goes against this but it was only the specials that got tiresome.
But I'd also say that TV as an industry is very different between the US and the UK and I do think that has something to do with it.

I think it's because we don't generally have the whole "network" phenomenon that rules American TV. We pay a licence fee to the BBC, which means it has a constant source of income that isn't dependent on ratings, so shows like Fawlty Towers don't carry nearly as much risk. It puts control a LOT more in the hands of the creators, rather than the network.

This. lol, this is pretty much what I was going to go into when I said the UK and US television industry work differently but I would not have said as succinctly as this so I'm glad I left it you! 😉

Haha, just after I posted, I saw that it led on nicely from your point. We make a good (unintentional!) team!
Why are people listing Veronica Mars and Roswell? Those shows made the cut because they lasted three or more seasons. Even though I do miss Roswell. I thought that plot about the evil ailens was great, especially the episode where the towns people all disappear because of that rod thing.
Besides Tru Calling, I would definitely say Point Pleasant. I loved that show and watch the DVDS at least twice or three times a year still. Also, this dumb reality tv show on syfy called Mad Mad House. lol
