One Season Wonders

Ever have a favorite show that only makes it to one season? I had a bunch along the way. This DVR Junkie tries most shows out. Here a few of my favorite that I wish would come back! (Also a bunch of crossover stars!)

Swans Crossing 
1992. Displaying the lives of wealthy teenagers. Featuring Buffy and Ringer's own Sarah Michelle Gellar as the main star, the mayor's daughter. (See how early I loved her?)

My So-Called Life
1994. Best season ever. I own this box set and have watched it a few times. Following the lives of middle class Angela and bad girl Ray-anne with maybe gay Ricky, loving Jordan Catalano. Swoon. How could you not watch this? The only crossover star was Brian (Devon Gummersall) who played a bit part on Felicity.

North Shore
2004. Local Hawaiian hotel where scandals take place. Melrose Place meets Hawaii. Thought this show was going far, but I guess not. Fox cancelled it. This has crossover stars galore! We have Kristoffer Polaha (Ringer's Henry), Brooke Burns (From Pepper Dennis), James Remar (From Sex and the city), Shannon Doherty (Beverly Hills 90210's alum Brenda as well as Charmed) and Nikki Deloach (the mother on awkward)

Reunion
2005. Another fox show cancelled. About 6 friends coming together for their 20th high-school reunion. One of them was murdered and they need to backtrack to figure out who. It never ended, so I never found out! Bummer. However, a few key crossovers. Dave Annabelle (from Brothers & Sisters) and Chyler Leigh (Lexie Grey from Grey's Anatomy)

2005-2006. Set in NY by the WB (cwtv now) four sisters with completely different lives. A heartwarming rom-com show, yet never made it too far. A few crossovers here as well. We have dad Tom Irwin (dad also on My So Called Life), Lizzy Caplan (who was on Tru Calling and True Blood as Jason Stackhouse's girlfriend addicted to V), Laura Breckenridge (who briefly starred as a teacher in a tryst with Dan on Gossip Girl) and lovable Kyle Howard (Bobby on My Boys and Lauren Conrad's real life ex)

  1. I loooved Reunion & Related... was pissed about both being cancelled. I also loved October Road from the CW, it had Laura Prepon from that 70's show. Life Unexpected which the CW had on last year was also really good!
