I've got a list and I'm reviving this thread, dammit! 🙂
Apologies to the OP(who I see is still around) but I cannot narrow it down to one, so...
in no particular order:
Kolchak TNS
Studio 60
BrainDead
Limitless
Swingtown
I will add that I always see Firefly on these sorts of lists, so I'm thinking it's high time I got around to finally checking it out!
Dang, most of these look really good. Saw and loved KTNS, so which of the rest are the least heartbreaking?
I ask only because Firefly was an incredibly entertaining and endearing sci-fi show, not to oversell it, and it was unexpectedly axed by the studio, to even the cast/crew's surprise. However, the fan uproar was so great, the studio funded a movie, Serenity (2005), that basically told the rest of the story. And they even made a documentary about that process called Done the Impossible: The Fans' Tale of 'Firefly' and 'Serenity' (2006). Yeah, I'm a fan.
Oh, and make sure you watch them in the proper order. One of the many things FOX screwed up about the show was airing them out of order. It's the fourth FAQ on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303461/faq/
Enjoy, dude!
For the most part they all wrap up a season arc storyline, so none are really 'heartbreaking' in that sense, but I'd say that as a child of the '70s, Swingtown is definitely my favorite!
