					<description><![CDATA[of American sitcoms I would have to pick Police Squad

UK sitcoms - many great sitcoms lasted exactly 2 seasons
of the shows lasting just one season, my favourite was &quot;If you see God, Tell him&quot; a black comedy about a man (played by Richard Briers) who after a head injury has a very short span of attention and becomes obsessed with adverts - believing them, imitating them.
However, I have doubts if it was actually cancelled and believe it was always intended to end after 4 episodes.
Similarly I can&#039;t imagine &quot;Whoops, Apocalypse&quot; ever being considered for a second season after the finality of the last episode.

Then there is &quot;tlc&quot; a hospital sitcom (more black comedy...) - the highlight of which was, in my opinion, Tim Brooke-Taylor as the hospital chaplain - a former surgeon who after a nervous breakdown still tries to work in the hospital anyway he can (despite his lack of interest in religion)

runners-up - &quot;KInvig&quot; - about an electrical repair man who fantasizes that a new customer is from another planet and in love with him (and only pretends to hate him) - the series was written by Nigel  Kneale - better known for serious science fiction/horror series.
&quot;I, Lovett&quot; about an eccentric inventor who talks to his dog, etc
&quot;Dead Earnest&quot; about a man erroneously sent to Heaven trying to cope with life there or finding a way back to mortality.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I loved &quot;The Grifter&quot;

I thought it had lots of laugh out loud funny moments every week.

Rob Lowe, was the lead. His part was as a pompous actor, that had played a lawyer on TV, but decided to start going to actual court to litigate cases.

The bit was that judges were so happy to have a famous actor in their court that they would wave the fact that he hadn&#039;t passed the state bar exam or understood the legal system.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Frank&#039;s Place&quot; is a great choice -- the gag in the pilot episode where Hanna the mortician (Daphne Maxwell Reid) knows she&#039;s meeting Frank, and knows he&#039;s uneasy about morticians, so she dunks her hand in ice before that first handshake? One of my favorite sitcom gags ever.

I actually can&#039;t pick a single favorite one-and-done sitcom:
Disqualified if you count the movies: &quot;Police Squad!&quot;
Animated: &quot;The Oblongs&quot;
Guilty pleasure: &quot;Hot Properties,&quot; an ABC hybrid of &quot;Designing Women&quot; and &quot;The Bob Newhart Show,&quot; with Gail O&#039;Grady, Sofia Vergara, Nicole Sullivan and Christina Moore as the four real-estate women, and Evan Handler as the dentist who&#039;s also on their floor in the urban high-rise. It was much worse than I&#039;m making it sound!
Honorable mention: &quot;The Robert Guillaume Show,&quot; which I use to remind myself that &quot;show with a black man dating a white woman&quot; was too much for a lot of people even in the 1980s.

That last show ALSO has one of my favorite sitcom gags ever: The pilot has Guillaume&#039;s Edward searching for a secretary, and the montage of applicants includes a disheveled man who&#039;s typing at the typewriter at absolute lightning speed. Edward, impressed: &quot;You know what? When you first came in here, I was judging you by your appearance, but now I see what you can do, and I feel like&quot; (finally sees the paper from the typewriter) &quot;THIS IS GIBBERISH&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite shows of all time was the short lived &quot;The Second Half&quot; with John Mendoza as a sports writer starting his life over after his divorce, playing it perfectly somewhere between Oscar Madison and Rodney Dangerfield. Co-starring Wayne Knight. Underrated and sadly long forgotten:

And, no doubt, Paul Lynde&#039;s sitcom will be on many peoples list:
