    The Black Donnellys sounds like something I'd watch

    and a pity vote for My Dead Dad because it sounds so bad it could be trainwreck tv

    My Dead Dad was quite funny when you were pisht.
    That reminds me of another show I forgot to nominate, The High Life a great Scottish sitcom about air stewards. Alan Cumming starred in it.

    Not seen any but as a fan of Sorkin, Studio 60 is on my tbw list. So I vote for that.

    The only other one I heard of is My So Called and while it has a good rep I can’t bring myself to vote for it as I I don’t like the cast.


    Also, whoohoo, Tiger King is out (and hopefully soon forgotten).

    Pilot was great, but I don't think it consistently hit those heights again.
    Wonderful cast.

    Ah but back then they weren't Claire Danes & Jared Leto et al
    They were just Angela Chase and Jordan Catalano... I still remember the names of the characters without having to IMDB it.
    Its good rep is thoroughly deserved though it may have dated somewhat.

    I watched and really liked The Black Donnellys, so a vote for that.

    Team Knight Rider was a travesty, if it has a chance of getting through I'll vote for something else to keep it out.

    The Black Donnellys, a great ensemble cast.

    I've remembered a few more one season wonders that I didn't include in my list and am kicking myself. :o

    One of them could do well if it was nominated by someone.

    Firefly ; it's hard not to love Firefly (there's obviously something wrong with Necro and Shane, but I already knew that), and while overall there's other shows I'd like to see the tournament more and tactically it might be better to not throw this Goliath a vote in the early days, but there's nothing else that it's up against here, that I can justify not voting for Firefly, as it is class.

    Reverie ; I've never heard of this before but after looking at the IMDB page and watching the trailer, and adding in the fact I love Sarah Shahi on Person of Interest, and Dennis Haysbert on 24, I'll definitely be checking this out. There's some other shows of this bunch that I have actually seen at least a few episodes of and thought they were fine (none that I'm absolutely crazy about though), Reverie seems more interesting to me than any of them, so gets my vote.

    Round 4

    Two of my nominees in this lot, so it's an easy choice for me

    Good Omens - Never read the book, but the show was great fun from start to finish. Started slow but man oh man, did things pick up. Tennant and Sheen are a match made in Heaven. Or Hell, whatever your persuasion

    Reverie - Quite a fun show, has a few mysteries to keep you going. I'm not surprised it didn't get renewed for a second season, but I'm definitely not disappointed by the time spent watching it

    Last Resort had one of my favourite pilot episodes of any TV show. Sadly it went downhill very quickly, and rushed to an abrupt ending when they realised it wasn't been renewed

    Firefly, I honestly think is overrated. It's okay, but I'd much rather Dark Matter

    Dark Matter is amazing, and I would rate it higher than Firefly. Even though it lasted 3 seasons, it still got cancelled far too soon.
