The polar opposite to LongRunners are, as you may expect, shows that were canned so quickly that few people remember them. They may have lasted one season, two at most, but no matter how much they were advertised are eventually forgotten. Some of the more unfortunate ones don't even last one episode.

One possible TropeCodifier is the 1969 ABC sketch show ''Series/TurnOn'', which was considered awful and controversial -- [[ValuesDissonance for its time, anyway]][[note]]There were a lot of jokes about easily accessible birth control pills, interracial relationships, UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar, and general indecency that these days would be seen as outdated or not as controversial, though the clincher might have been a few jokes that went a little far even for today, such as the jokes about CampGay men and the infamous [[UnfortunateImplications "Rape is friendlier than arson."]][[/note]]. A number of ABC's affiliates dropped it ''at the first commercial break'', and it was effectively canned before the premiere finished airing. Other affiliates either aired the entire show and then pulled it or didn't air it at all and replaced it with better programming, like a ''documentary on gun safety''.

They may have not even gotten a Website/TVTropes page until someone suddenly remembered it existed. Some of them may have been mediocre or downright terrible. Or they could have suffered SeasonalRot during the second season after having a great first season. Or they might have cost too much for their network. It gets worse if the short-lived show never got reruns, sharply decreasing the likelihood that there are [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes tapes to circulate]].

Website/TheOtherWiki has [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_television_series_canceled_after_one_episode an article]] on single-episode runs.

When the show has this many episodes but is successful, that's BritishBrevity. When the show ends naturally with this many episodes, that's a {{Miniseries}} or TwelveEpisodeAnime.

* ''WebAnimation/FiveSecondlyObjectShow'': The mother of all short-runners ending ''less than a minute'' after it aired since its nine episodes had consecutively released five seconds apart from each other. The total runtime is just under five minutes.

[[folder:Web Animation Short-Runners]]
[[index]]
* ''WebAnimation/FiveSecondlyObjectShow'': The mother of all short-runners ending ''less than a minute'' after it aired since its nine episodes had consecutively released five seconds apart from each other. The total runtime is just under five minutes.
* ''WebAnimation/AfterSchooligans'': Only two episodes were aired. More were planned but were scrapped in the wake of [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor its creator being forced off the internet following allegations regarding racism at the 2022 BFDI + II Meetup]].
* ''WebAnimation/AlbiAndAzul''
* ''WebAnimation/AwesomeFuturisticObjects'': An [[ObjectShows object show]] that ran for six episodes, with its sixth episode only being half-completed, due to lack of motivation and school. When the creator decided to start over with a SoftReboot as a second season, that lasted way shorter with ''three'' episodes, also with a half-completed last episode, for the same reason.
* ''WebAnimation/BattleForGrandma''
* ''WebAnimation/BattleForObjectDestination'': With three and a half episodes making up the season (BFOD was canned in the midst of the [[MultiPartEpisode two-parter episode]]). Its spin-off show ''Earthquake'' has it worse with its singular episode before being discontinued in the wake of [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor its creator being forced off the internet after getting caught attempting to groom a minor]].
* ''WebAnimation/BeckyBucket'': Only had one episode before being dropped from a lack of interest.
* ''WebAnimation/BrawlOfTheObjects'': A classic {{Object Show|s}} consisting of 14 episodes and an upcoming epilogue. Unlike many other object shows listed here, it managed to successfully conclude its run instead of being CutShort.

* ''WebAnimation/ChaoticAmbition'': Had to be cancelled and rebooted after just three episodes due to the creator not liking the direction his {{Object Show|s}} was going and the drama between him and his friends working on the show.

* ''WebAnimation/EveryFaggotEver''
* ''Webanimation/FamilyGal'': Only 3 episodes were released in 2022.
* ''WebAnimation/FightInFlight'': Two episodes before the creator's lack of motivation kicked in.
* ''WebAnimation/FiveNightsAtFreddysTheBackstory'': Lasted for four episodes (three complete episodes and an unfinished one) before being discontinued due to the creator's lack of motivation.
* ''WebAnimation/FiveNightsAtFreddysNicotor700'': Only lasted for eleven episodes. A second season was planned but ultimately scrapped due to the creator not having ideas.
* ''WebAnimation/FiveNightsAtFreddysThePast'': It only lasted [[OneEpisodeWonder one episode]] due to [=Zero2zero 2=] having to focus on Dares 4 and 5 and with her quitting [=YouTube=] in late 2021 suggests that its fate has been sealed.
* ''WebAnimation/FiveNightsAtFreddysRebirthOfTheKing'': Lasted for one season of 21 episodes due to lack of motivation and school. There were plans for the series to return but animated with Blender in March 2023, but nothing ever came of them.

* ''WebAnimation/JudgeGranny''

* ''WebAnimation/LoboWebseries''
* ''WebAnimation/MeetTheMillers''

* ''WebAnimation/ObjectExplosion'': Ran for 3 complete episodes and 1 unfinished episode before undergoing a reboot.
* ''WebAnimation/ObjectFiller'': The second season, ''Object Filler Again'', had to discontinued production after five episodes due to the creator's personal issues and decision to not continue the show anymore.
* ''WebAnimation/ObjectHavoc'': Only two episodes were produced and then cancelled due to lack of interest.
* ''WebAnimation/ObjectManor'': See above. It went on to be rebooted as ''WebAnimation/TheNightlyManor'' in 2021.
* ''WebAnimation/ObjectOverload'': Continued the {{Object Show|s}} curse by only having 6 initial episodes, then an attempted ContinuityReboot that didn't even make it to a second episode.
* ''WebAnimation/ObjectRedundancy'': See above (Two episodes and then the lack of interest kicks in).
* ''WebAnimation/ObjectShow87'' didn't last long since it was what the [[ObjectShows Object Show Community]] calls, a joke show. It concluded the series at 6 episodes.
* ''WebAnimation/ObjectShow'': Just a {{Pilot}} and nothing more although it did had a SoftReboot under a different concept and [[WebAnimation/IntoTheCanvas name]].

* ''WebAnimation/WeekendPussyHunt''
* ''WebAnimation/UltimateInsanity'': Ran for three episodes including a [[MultiPartEpisode two-parter]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Detention}}''
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Dilbert}}''

* ''WesternAnimation/EvilConCarne'' - Creator Maxwell Atoms willingly ended the show after one season; both this and fellow creation ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'', both spin-offs of ''WesternAnimation/GrimAndEvil'', were popular, but he didn't want the stress of [[{{showrunner}} showrunning]] two cartoons at once. There was a second season, but it only consisted of four episodes. ''Con Carne'' characters were rolled into the ''Billy and Mandy'' universe over time.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyDog'' - 13 episodes, only 10 were aired. Probably due to how mean spirited this show is.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFamilyNess''
* ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum''
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangbone}}'' - According to creator Michael Rex, the series got good ratings, but executives didn't find them high enough to warrant ordering a second season, ending the show on a cliffhanger.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantomcat}}''
* ''WesternAnimation/FatherOfThePride'' - 13 episodes of this show starring Siegfried and Roy's big cats were aired, but due to the mauling of Roy before the show began, it had no chance. Two more episodes are known to exist, but never aired.

* ''WesternAnimation/FraidyCat'' - The show got it worse than other shows on this list - it was slated for an 18-episode run, but due to the immense negative reception it had on ''WesternAnimation/UncleCrocsBlock'', it got canned and taken off of the block after the 12th episode.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' - Two seasons of 24 episodes total. It gained quite a cult following.
* ''WesternAnimation/FreakShow''

* ''WesternAnimation/MaryKateAndAshleyInAction''
* ''WesternAnimation/MaryokuYummy''
* ''WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears'' - Despite high ratings, it was canceled after the second season largely due to poor toy sales. 27 episodes in all.
* ''WesternAnimation/MegaManFullyCharged'' - A poor time slot and being left to die by Cartoon Network meant 52 episodes was all we got.
* ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'' - Another high ratings show and managed to gain two seasons, but cancelled due to a CEO change at Cartoon Network who didn't "get it" (though the showrunners at least kept the ending open-ended).
* ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB''
* ''WesternAnimation/MightyDucksTheAnimatedSeries'' - 26 episodes were made before it got a game misconduct.
* ''WesternAnimation/MikeLuAndOg''
* ''WesternAnimation/MinaAndTheCount'' - Technically, it was a series of shorts that aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork's ''WesternAnimation/WhatACartoonShow'' and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' rather than its own series proper.

* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens2013''
* ''WesternAnimation/MoonbeamCity''

* ''WesternAnimation/MyGoldfishIsEvil''
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeMe'' - On top of being given [[ScrewedByTheNetwork no promotion and an abysmal timeslot]], Creator/{{Teletoon}} burned off every episode of the series in a single month before taking it off the air permanently not long afterwards
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTales''
* ''WesternAnimation/MyPetMonster''

* ''WesternAnimation/NapoleonDynamite''

* ''WesternAnimation/PraisePetey''

* ''WesternAnimation/TheRocketeer''
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rollbots}}''
* ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'' - Spanned 40 episodes in 2 seasons.

* ''WesternAnimation/SoulQuestOverdrive''
* ''WesternAnimation/SpacedOut''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpaghettiFamily''
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' - Two full seasons, but one of the few cases where it wasn't cancelled because of low ratings or executive decision (heck, if anything fans loved the show and it was critically acclaimed to boot), but rather rights issues. At the time, Disney had bought up Marvel and began the Marvel Cinematic Universe, taking up the copyrights of superheroes. Spider-Man was still in Sony's hands, however, and they refused to give up the film rights, but agreed to give away the TV rights instead. This unfortunately meant ''Spectacular Spider-Man'' had to be cancelled since, if Disney wanted to continue it, they would have to ''pay'' Sony to keep doing so since the cartoon was made in-house at Sony and technically their property. Naturally, Disney refused on that front much to the dismay of fans. If that wasn't bad enough, the series ended on a major DownerEnding which was meant to lead into the third season.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekProdigy ''
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsResistance''
* ''WesternAnimation/StationZero''
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Stoked}}'' - While Creator/{{Teletoon}} aired both seasons in Canada, Creator/CartoonNetwork cancelled the show after only 22 episodes. This meant that none of the episodes from season 2 aired in the United States, nor the remaining episodes of season 1.

* ''WesternAnimation/SwampThing'' - The show had 5 episodes which aired sporadically on Fox Kids in the early 90's.
