I'd have to give my vote to Playmakers (ESPN's first attempt at a series following a fictional pro football team behind the scenes). The show was really interesting and I really got into the characters, plus I'm a sucker for sports based movies, and this was close enough for me. It's a shame that the NFL had to step in and start crying about how it reflected poorly on them, despite the fact that Playmakers hardly depicted some of the awful things that NFL players have actually done in real life. I was really hoping that someone would pick it up elsewhere and continue the series as it was an excellent one that had lots of promise.
Also, John Mayer's TV show on VH1 was pretty damn hilarious, but I didn't see it go beyond its first episode, which is a shame because it was really really funny.
