They say that hindsight is 20/20 and this is true to pretty much everything in life, even TV shows. In retrospect, some shows should have lasted more than one season! Despite having a huge cultural impact and providing us with many hours of entertainment, these shows were cut after their first season. We know that show business is a tough industry, so the top TV shows need to come out strong. However, sometimes a show will have a ‘slow burn’ effect, and this is the list of top TV shows that have stood the test of time, despite being on air for a brief period.
#1: Keen Eddie (2003-2004)
Who doesn’t love watching the culture clash between Americans and Brits? It is a classic dynamic. Keen Eddie was set around an NYPD detective who is working a case in London. With plenty of hilarious moments, the show cleverly lent on both British wit and American humor.
Eddie has many unforgettable moments with his flat mate, new co-inspector and new team. The interpersonal dynamics made this show’s impact reach beyond its run-time, featuring hilarious dialogue and a cross-cultural familiarity.
