Freaks and Geeks
I'm assuming this is supposed to exclude mini-series shows like Chernobyl and Band of Brothers that were built for one season. There are a lot of those.

I can't say favorite but I was disappointed when Amazon canceled The Peripheral after the first season. It was really interesting.

Firefly - Didn't even get all the episodes until home video release
Manimal - Have such strong memories of this show as a kid and it only had 8 episodes.

Gotta be Firefly. If that show was made today we would have 10 seasons and multiple spinoffs.
"Police Squad!"
"The Ben Stiller Show"
--> It's possible either/both would have been no better with multiple seasons, but no way to know.

It doesn't qualify but Mindhunter (2 seasons)... man that still chaps me as I loved it!

At least give Stiller more than 9 episodes. That was crazy.
Here's a throwback for you: Square Pegs.
I was shocked when years later I saw a hot SJP in Sex in the City as she was just a cute nerdy girl in Square Pegs. I kind of chuckled when the guy who always wore headphones and sunglasses was in that Star Trek movie as Kirk's long lost son.
It was also one of Jami Gertz' first roles.

Freaks and Geeks is obviously a great one. But there was another show in the mid-80s that I loved and think has always been very underrated... It's Your Move. Starred a young Jason Bateman and David Garrison.
Bateman's character was a teenage scam artist, and Garrison's character started dating Bateman's single mom, played by Caren Kaye. Some pretty funny stuff with the kid and his mom's new boyfriend battling wits.
