Jericho and FlashForward

Heroes

 

EDIT: Actually, Arrested Development should be first.

Inevitably, the Office. And ER died a bit earlier than I would have thought. Also, the Simpsons needs to die.

Party Down

Firefly

Two very clear and obvious ones for me are Arrested Development and Firefly.

Sports Night

Arrested Development

John Doe

Pushing Daisies

Eli Stone

Jack & Bobby

The State

Freaks and Geeks is my answer.

There was a show in the late 80's or early 90's called the Nutt House. It was histerical. Cloris Leachman ran this old hotel. The bits were great. It was produced by Mel Brooks I believe. It lasted less than a season.

Absolutely. Too bad Dave is the sole person to blame for that one.

Sports Show with Norm Macdonald.

I'm kind of glad it ended before it could get stale.

Yes

Police Squad!

Terriers. FX did a terrible job of marketing that show.

Buffalo Bill starring Dabny Coleman in the early 80s. It was nominated for a bunch of emmys including best comedy, was only on for two years. The entire series fits on one DVD. News Radio really died an early death.

I was a late follower, but it did jump the shark with Selleck

Unfortunately, that show died when Phil Hartman did.
