There are plenty of American shows that should have been cancelled after a single season, but weren't because they were popular.
Stuff like Prison Break, Heroes. In fact Prison Break's season 1 had a very clear, obvious conclusion (they broke out) - so there was no clear path for the story to take after that. In Britain it would not have been picked up for a second series.
