NOTE: The co-star I was trying to think of was Anthony Dennison.


One of my all time favorite shows! It only aired for two seasons. It seems that sticking a TV show into a 10:00 friday night timeslot is like sending it to siberia.










Don Cardi cool

Five - ten years from now, they're gonna wish there was American Cosa Nostra. Five - ten years from now, they're gonna miss John Gotti.

Great pictures DC! That group shot is the picture in my mind when I think of this series. \:\)

Is that David Caruso in a couple pictures? He wasn't in the show was he?

Thanks for finding them.

TIS

They should bring it back. As far as I know Farina isn't doing a tv show anymore (I know he did L & O, for a couple seasons, but not anymore); and Denison isn't around much these days. They never bring shows back though do they? \:\/

I loved that show too, TIS, but I wouldn't hold my breath on a "reunion." Farina quit L&O because he wanted to get back to making movies and Denison just struck gold as a regular on TNT's THE CLOSER.

It was never picked up for a 2nd season despite the fact the DVD of season 1 sold real well, and HBO keeps making new Louis CK and Jimmy Norton comedy specials. The critics hated the show, and I think thats why HBO dropped it. It had slightly above average ratings.

6 shows spring to mind.









I'm also thinking of Profit which starred Adrian Pasdar, can't get a pic to show up though.


Another one that just sprang to mind was a show called Skin. Can't remember for the life of me who starred in it though.


One of the shows I'm thinking about is The Pretender, although since it ran for 4 seasons. Maybe it can't be considered short lived.

How long was Early Edition on TV?

Ed was pretty good too.

Sledge Hammer was one I was going to name - that was funny slapstick. I would add "Police Squad," which lead to the Naked Gun movies.

"CHiPs" was a real show. It wasn't short lived though. It aired from the mid-late 70's, until the early-mid 80's.

My favorite really brief series was "On the Air," produced by David Lynch, which lasted all of three episodes. This show was just riotously funny--like a Marx Bros. movie in pastel colors. Great cast, too: Miguel Ferrer, Sydney Buchanan, Marla Rubinoff and the one and only Marvin Kaplan.

I liked "Crime Story," but I saw it only in reruns. Excellent stuff. Farina had the good taste to drive a '58 Chrysler 300D, which sent me into envy-spasms everytime he drove it.

Well, I guess I liked it, and I guess it's the most short-lived that I liked:

Mulholland Dr., whose pilot wasn't bought up by any TV networks.

Instead, Lynch expanded it into a masterpiece feature. \:\)

I love NBC's Freaks And Geeks the most. It lasted only one season of eighteen episodes. (Look how big the show's executive producer Judd Apatow has become!) I've never forgiven NBC for this.

Wonderfalls only lasted four episodes. LOL. I really like it, though. That show's creator is now running ABC's critical hit Pushing Daisies.
