Here is an old one. About a boys home and justice.

The Hat Squad
I actually watched it while I was an undergrad and really liked it.

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Joshua Painter Played by Senator Fred Thompson

Has anyone mentioned the Green Hornet with Bruce Lee and Van Williams? The Bruce Lee scenes made the show worth watching

Was that the show with Leslie Nielsen? It was like a prequel to the Naked Gun movies.

Yes, it was. Other folks have mentioned shows that I could have sworn lasted longer like "Call To Glory" with Craig T. Nelson.

Il Cattivo

Another vote for "The Adventures Of Briscoe County, Jr." Bruce is Bruce, but Kelly Rutherford could make a cynic believe in blondes again.

Playmakers. It was produced by ESPN back when ESPN didn't suck. The NFL strong armed them into shutting it down because the show's storylines included spousal abuse, drug abuse, gang ties, more drug abuse, gays in the NFL, gold digging baby mama's, more drug abuse, murder, stripclubs, one night stand abortion, abuse of gays in the NFL, performance enhancing drug abuse and CTE/PTSD from paralyzing players. The NFL claimed it wasn't an accurate reflection of its organization yet the only thing the show hadn't predicted was kneeling for the anthem. You can watch the episodes on youtube.

Tales of the Gold Monkey is my vote. I love that Grumman Goose. Wish I had a pilots license.

^ Loved it at the time, but it ran out of steam before the end of the first season.

This may be obscure but I just remembered it - The Fades.

Ran on BBC America IIRC.

The last ship has been on at least three seasons and I was unaware that it was cancelled if it was.

The Crossing on ABC. I thought it was great. Really disappointed it wasn't renewed.

Since this thread popped back up, I’d also have to vote for Robbery/Homicide Division. Was produced and directed by Michael Mann.

It tanked when Tom Sizemore when back to prison.
