Classic tv series that were bigger than they really were.

Some classic tv series ended up bigger and better remembered than they actually were. Take the classic Fwalty Towers.. everybody of a certain age remembers the series and everybody has a favorite quote or episode (mine is the kipper and the corpse) However the series ran to just 12 episodes. Other series like the Sweeny and Professionals are both well remembered and frequently shown on tv, again both of these had a little over 50 episodes each. Incidently if you watch the Sweeny watch how little night shooting takes place, it was due to costs. The professionals on the other had had car trouble, starting the BL cars they quickly switched to Fords are reliability issues with BL (well known to any BL owner) plus the stunt driving caused a few headaches with damaged vehicles.
