Agents of SHIELD had a good one in the last season.

She comes back in Lower Decks. She eventually became a captain.

X files had a fun one, I remember enjoying the outer limits episode with a time loop too. Just weird to see Kevin Nealon in a non comedy role

I love the Buffy one and the supernatural one as well

I only saw the title and immediately said "Stargate". I think it's the only one I've actually liked.

Russian Doll

I agree with Stargate. Such a great episode I’ve watched a million times.

The other that comes to mind is TNG’s Cause and Effect.

Ah, I see, no faith in it from the start. I came in late, so I wasn't aware.

I was kind of looking at the entire history of Television, not just the last 10 years. Yes, I wasn't alive for all of it, but I do enjoy the idea of crafting a show, like a play, and then working to make it better rather than slathering on 50 different writers hoping for magic every time and waiting to cancel like a relative that stands to inherit millions hovering over the plug of a dying old coot.

I’m curious what leads you to the conclusion that things used to be different. I don’t remember a time when cancellations were rare.

Here’s one analysis that squares with how I remember things. This is from over 10 years ago: TV Success Rate: 65% Of New Shows Will Be Canceled (& Why It Matters)

HBO did such a shit job of promoting this show. Right around when the second season started HBO bought tons of ad time during the MLB postseason. Not a single frame was of Avenue 5. That's when I knew they were cancelling it.

He did, but it was first mentioned on an episode of Enterprise.

Did Terry Matalas name the place after himself? Lol. I will say I think he’s doing a much better job and actually understands TNG

I just started the show, now I know this plot won't go anywhere :(

That’s a reach. Some of the writers came from Peep Show.

I mean, it was. People were living it, but I think I get what you're saying.

Perhaps if there was more lupus.

I really enjoyed it. The observations were spot on. 'Idiocracy' type comedy just isn't popular during it's original run.

The Air Lock Scene was probably my favorite scene from the whole show.

Considering the idea, the budget and the cast, it's a surprisingly dull show.

I thought season 2 was even better than the first. Truly great from start to finish.

Such a shame this show never really had a chance due to Covid and one of the sets burning down.

> Or the arc where there was the fertility clinic that was breeding freakin demon babies then it’s never mentioned again.

This is mentioned over and over again in the show, it's a big part of the most recent season.

Unfortunately I just did not jive with this show. I love Armando's work (especially The Thick of It and The Armando Iannucci Shows) but very few jokes in this one landed for me.

The soundtrack is amazing, sad for only 2 seasons
