Does it matter?
I mean answers are answers. There has to be one to every question... even if they aren't right.

Some idle thoughts.
I've been thinking about some TV shows that are good but for one reason or another only last a season, if that, whereas other shows go for three or five or seven years but are decidedly average. A couple of examples of shows that went for one season (or less) but that i think deserved a longer shot are:
Space: Above and Beyond (Military Sci-fi show by the the producers of the X-files)
Crusade (Spin-off series from Babylon 5)
EZ Streets (Drama about cops, crooks, lawyers and politicians)
Brimstone (Dead cop trying to return escaped souls to hell)
North Square (British legal drama, quirky, clever and fun)
I'm not suggesting that the loss of any of these shows was a crime against entertainment (except North Square, the axing of which I still can't fathom), but they were all good.
So, I was wondering if other people have shows like that that they wish had been given more of a chance. Or do people have an opinion on any of the shows I've mentioned? Or the types of shows that did last when these didn't but weren't as good. Or even just an opinion on why these things happen.

I kind of liked Space: Above and Beyond.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I'm reminded of how Earth2 went out (probably cause these are both shows I used to watch on the Sci-Fi channel).. They waited till their very last episode and reveal this cool, cool AI (Eve)... I wish that show had stayed around to develop that. I always watched that show, but when that episode came out, I was really intrigued.
