What about other shows that had more seasons, but still felt like it ended early?

Cant think of any off the top of my head as most good one season shows were meant to be just one. Vice principals had two seasons though and I wish it went longer

Space Above and Beyond was one of the first that occurred to me. Not so sure about Dresden, that started off so different from the books that they would have had a hard time keeping it going I think.

One that came to mind is Mr. Sloane. It was a dark comedy with Nick Frost that had only one season(or should I say, series) of six episodes.

Stargate Universe. Unfortunately it got cancelled after the second season. One more season with them knowing it was the end would've been nice.

Fox has a tendency to do that. I think most of the shows on my list were on Fox.

I really liked the series, the books are better, but the series was still good if you took them by themselves. Woulda loved to see more seasons.

Trigun

I think that was long enough. It had a decent ending and didn't drag things out any longer than necessary.

TheSlinja posted...
Deadman Wonderland

Textbook example of anime as advertisements for the source material. The ending didn't wrap up anything at all, and actually set up more plot points that also wouldn't be.

For anime, I really liked Pumpkin Scissors. It was sort of a mix of FMA (military do-gooders) and Trigun (protagonist with superhuman powers and mysterious past), but season 2 ended on a cliffhanger.

Also Panty & Stocking. I would love another season, but failing that, I'd be fine if the final episode had ended two ****ing minutes earlier.

Outsourced
Special Unit 2 (technically 2 seasons, but only 19 total episodes so i'm gonna count it...)
Human Weapon (History Channel series)
Mortal Kombat Conquest
Hidden Hills (2002 NBC sitcom)
Warriors (2009 History Channel series hosted by Terry Schapert)
Keijo!!!

Tried thinking of some more anime examples, but oddly most of them go exactly two full seasons and then never return. Not many get just one season, at least the ones I've watched....

Trigun

And then there's cases like this, where I loved the anime, but think it had a great ending and doesn't need more. Wouldn't mind more, though. The movie was alright....

Well shit, if that counts then definitely this and also Bastard! (Destructive God of Darkness)

Both are 6 episode OVAs that were awesome and easily could've been several times as long. Didn't think short OVAs counted as a show with a "season"

Man, I need to pop in my Golden Boy DVD and re-watch, been too long

Trigun had an amazing ending but I feel that everything is gonna be fine now that I shot my brother up vibe doesn't really make sense with what just transpired in the last couple episodes. I honestly feel like it could benefit from a few more aftermath episodes hell even a time skip arc.

That being said. I am glad at least we were given some sort of conclusion via the Serenity movie, even if some major characters were killed, instead of an abrupt ending.

So how about FAWLTY TOWERS?

It was so good! Managed to mix mostly comedy with a fair dose of suspense and horror really well, better than any other thing I've ever seen.
Nick and Carl's never-ending warfare was epic!
And they had some creative new monsters (like the one made from discarded fat from liposuction procedures) and my favorite takes on some of the classics (especially Lycanthropes)

Don't even remember if I actually watched the show it was so long ago, but I had the big toy pirate ship. Probably still do, somewhere...

Earth Star Voyager never got past the pilot movie, but I think it would have been a great TV series. The exploration vessel Earth*Star Voyager is sent on a mission to explore a possible habitable planet, but the trip will take 26 years so the ship is crewed mostly by young military cadets.

This one too. Although it was so long ago. Such a good show, though perhaps a bit too 'mature' for a Saturday morning slot. Too bad Adult Swim/Toonami wouldn't pick it up.

No Ordinary Family, which iirc may have also ended on a semi-cliffhanger
The Cape, which wasn't great but still deserves its seven seasons and a movie
The Kolchak reboot, which I really liked
Dresden Files (which iirc some of the book fans didn't like)

For multiple season shows:
Stan Against Evil ended a major cliffhanger.
Reaper ended on a *minor* cliffhanger and none of the major story arcs were resolved
