Best one season shows.
What are your favourite shows that for whatever reason only ran for one season?
I’d say Firefly, which is an obvious answer, as well as
Clone High.
Kolchak - The Night Stalker was a classic.
One of the original ghost,monster alien TV shows.
It was the 70's how didn't this make it?
I used to love this show! It had so much drive to it, especially the scenes where he would pound out the stories on the keys of his manual typewriter !
sharegodewey- HOW did I forget Kolchak, the Night Stalker? One of my favorite shows as a kid. My sisters and I never missed it. We were so depressed when it got yanked off the air!
I do think the problem was that they were running out of monsters for Kolchak to chase. Some of them got too far out and almost cartoon like, like the robot R.I.N.G. or the headless guy on the motorcycle. It probably would've been better to do a story arc where Carl was investigating the same "monster" or strange occurrence for three or more episodes. That way they wouldn't have to come up with a new one every week.
Yeah, I also think they could have went deeper.

A show like Supernatural is still going after 13 seasons.
It's basically the same type of show. Hunting demons and monsters.
Difference is each season they have at least one main story going on in the background
and in between they throw in monsters, ghosts and such.
