Re: Shows with terrible first seasons

Pretty much every show had a rocky first season. Show's that hit the ground running are the rarity. Trouble is that Network Execs aren't willing to let most shows find their feet (the exemption is for show's with a "name" attached and an exec that stands to lose face if it gets cancelled quickly, of the Whedon shows that would be Angel and the upcoming Agents of Shield which will both easily survive for two seasons on name-power) these days and are trigger happy on cancellation in favor of middle of the road reality game shows which are hard to screw up. Or do well.

This so much, which is why several shows get a trial run in the spring with a smaller season run, such as The Office, Parks and Rec, Parenthood, and I'm sure I could find more if I looked.

Friends was the show that changed the game of being a hit almost immediately off the bat. Seinfeld is a classic example of taking a few years to become the hit it did.
