the opening credits to FOX’s harsh realm

brimstone was a show about a cop sent from hell to hunt down escaped demons. harsh realm was a show about a soldier sent into the internet to hunt down locke from lost. they were both great action packed hours of television, but they were each canceled before they hit their half season marks.

whenever i think of good tv, i invariably head towards canceled shows like cupid and G vs E. we have hundreds of amazing episodes of cheers and the west wing and the x-files, but for some reason i always drift to these little half season underdog shows - remembered fondly by a handful of people, rerun on sci-fi at five in the morning (if we’re lucky), barely represented on youtube.

god bless you, half season wonders. as long i’ve got no life or job prospects, or reason to leave my apartment or friends…i’ll be here to remember you.
