ENTER: One Hit Wonders Avatar Contest

Twin Peaks had a second season, so technically it doesn't fit within the guidelines of this contest, but we'll let the voters decide. If you want to enter a Twin Peaks avatar that's OK with me. The voters will decide if it's worthy or not.
One could argue that, while Twin Peaks had two seasons, the first season were merely seven episodes and the total sum of episodes is 30, which is little more than most American TV seasons have.
Furthermore, Twin Peaks is basically a paragon of One Hit Wonders, as it was a pop culture phenomenon with record breaking ratings during the first season, but having the ratings drop during the second season so massively it took a fan campaign to convince the TV station to even air the final six episodes of the show.
Plus, I love that show.
Aw, man, decisions, decisions ...
Ooh, Blade: The Series is a good choice. That got really good by the end.
I'll be entering in a little while.
Over 20 excellent entries so far. Keep them coming everybody!
Dr. Strange (1978)
It got a movie, too, ya know.

Plus Baffled! and Mann & Machine.
Can you bottle and sell any of that disposable time? Because I could sure use some.'cause I'm bored...
Brimstone, Birds of Prey, Blade, Caprica, Galactica 1980, Harsh Realm, The Lone Gunmen & Kings
Aw man! Can we do this contest, like, 5 weeks in a row? Or enter a bunch of times? Because there are some of my favorite blink-and-you-missed-them shows in this list! I even have avatars already!

I loved Fantastic Journey. I don't know why because it was made with real cheese, but I did.

Wish I could, I've got plenty of it these days...
True. It bombed, though, and was obviously as much part of the series as "Serenity" was of "Firefly". And if the TV movies of "Alien Nation" do not disqualify that series, I don't see how one Twin Peaks movie could disqualify the respective series.
And let's not forget I love that show.
Have you made a final decision on which avatar you're entering?
Well, I'll go with the one I'd actually use myself.

And that's precisely what you should do.
I adored it! I was a big fan of Roddy McDowall because of the "Apes" movies, was thrilled when he turned up in the cast. I even wrote a fan letter to Dorothy Fontana, who was story editor (another reason I tuned in, because of Trek). She wrote me back.

I still have the letter.
With about 24 hours left for entries lets throw a little twist in.
As some posts have shown, there's lots of fodder for this topic, and some have expressed a desire to enter more than one avatar. So lets do it.
Everyone can post a second entry. I'll start with the Lone Gunmen.
