It only had one season in 1999-2000, and got cancelled way too soon.

Created by Paul Feig and produced by Judd Apatow. It had the best young cast who all went on to become stars: Linda Cardellini, John Francis Daly, James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segal, Martin Starr, Busy Philips, Sam Levine. It was smart and funny. Damn!
