I have 7 so far that I've actually watched.

There are loads if you Google but I've not watched them so I don't want to nominate them

There are a couple of good ones I remember watching years ago but I can't for the life of me remember what they were called.

Same, and two of them are only in because Liz said mini-series were eligible.

Do you remember what they were about? If you can tell me the general premise and era there's a fairly decent chance I'll be able to give you the title.

I'm not going to allow anthology series (Fargo, True Detective, American Crime Story etc.,) as even though stories and cast changes in each season the name stays

You mean my complex PM about how each season of The Wire should be considered in its own universe with just a few overarching issues that link them is now worthless :eek:

Nominations in.

Went with 50 in the hopes some of you will discover some new shows (especially as they're only a one season commitment) or perhaps rediscover something you had long forgotten had existed or assumed was something you simply made up yourself in a fever dream...

Well there was one US show from about 15 or 20 years ago with a group of guys and gals travelling in a van and having paranormal adventures (not Scooby Doo). They might have been a band, it was a bit like Supernatural before that show existed.
One of the episodes they met this ghost in a swamp, maybe a little girl, she said some other ghost was keeping her there and drowning people in the swamp. They found out at the end the little girl was really the baddie who was killing people.


Sorry for the poor description, I was pretty hammered the couple of times I saw it. Any clue LB?

Sooo can we nominate series that have currently only one season but are expected to have a second one?

Oh I've a few that might challenge it, or to make things fair, nobody nominate it

What about this LB.

90s or maybe early 00s I think, US show again.
It was an action show along the lines of the A-Team, but all the heros in it were soldiers from WWII I think who had lost their marbles.
One scene had a guy making an impossibly long shot with a handgun from a moving speedboat, I think he had multiple personalities or something like that.
Edit: they may have been Korea or Vietnam vets either, not too sure.

No that was a kids show wasn't it?
This was very dark, and always on in the middle of the night so I usually seen it while sloshed.

Too late, but would be interesting to see how much love still exists for the show

I just rewatched it a few weeks ago. Still great.

I couldn’t find any shows at all.

There was a show on sky atlantic last year about lawyers. Two women lived with each other but one of them never took her clothes out of her suitcase. They worked in the legal aid sector of lawyers.

Then there was the others who worked in the prosecutors office. I think the head of the legal aid office was sleeping with the head of the public prosecutor office.

Nope. Doesn't sound familiar either, but that type of action show in the vein of The A-Team wouldn't interest me really.

Oh well, I hope I haven't been making up tv shows while one over the eight. Like in South Park when the guys took strong cough medicine to come up with ideas.

Just sent ten there

edit: some of them may have a second series announced, disqualify if so.

I don't think that is it, looks quite good though.
