By this I mean a season or less

Mine would be Life As We Know It, I am sure most have never heard of it but it was one of the best shows I have watched. I think it was on in 2005, only lasted 13 episodes.

    Dark Shadows remake
    In 1991, a short-lived primetime remake was produced by MGM Television and aired by NBC, airing from January 13 to March 22. The revival was a lavish, big budget weekly serial combining gothic romance and stylistic horror. Although it was a huge hit at introduction (watched by almost 1 in 4 households according to official ratings during that time period), an untimely international incident would inflict a fatal wound to the show. The onset of the Gulf War caused NBC to continually pre-empt or reschedule the early episodes resulting in viewer confusion and a loss of momentum. It was canceled after twelve episodes.

    Ditto Freaks and Geeks. Arrested Development is great, but I think it lasted too long to qualify here.

    Carnivale... it did go two seasons, but that was not enough!

    Wolf Lake was pretty cool.
