Time to access the memory banks, Slackers.
A few weeks ago we covered one hit wonders, but what about those one season TV shows? Why does a show that was barely on our TV screens have such a strong imprint in our memories?
Regardless of quality, shows like Misfits of Science and Manimal have somehow endured in pop culture. Was it because they were actually terrible, were they any good, or were they just a product of their time? They were probably terrible, but some shows that only got one season definitely deserved at least one more chance.
Shows like Battlestar Galactica had a much more successful reimagining in the 2000’s - while the Joss Whedon space western, Firefly, was plagued by a bad time slot - although thankfully they got a feature film that served to finish the story.
One thing is certain - many of these one season shows were the career launching points for future stars like Sarah Jessica Parker, Courtney Cox, and Nathan Fillion.
What are some of your favorites?
