I have stopped watching new shows, as I do not think it's fair that they air 3 or 4 episodes, get us all hooked into the story line, and then cancel them before they have a chance to gain a faithful audience and leave us, the viewers hanging. Firefly ring a bell for anyone? Les Moonves cancelled Joan of Arcadia, saying that ghosts skewed better than God for younger viewers and replaced it with Ghost Whisperer. Well duh, Joan of Arcadia's main demographic was 13 - 25 year olds, so of course when they switched it from Sunday nights to Friday nights, their ratings went down. Could it be that Friday night is when their main demographic went out after a week of school? I've now decided I will just rent DVD seasons of shows that have survived longer than 3 or 4 years. Oh Yeah, Fox also seems to love leaving shows with cliff hanger endings, never to be answered. Dark Angel, anyone?

I empathize with you all too well. Firefly was one of the biggest mistakes that a network has ever made. They didn't even give it a full season or a good time slot. There are so many shows that I only got to enjoy for a short time, many shorter than others, lying in the graveyard of cancelled shows. They air more and more ridiculous reality shows and deprive us of quality television viewing. If these networks gave a new show a real chance, who knows what kind of hit they would have had? X-Files being the foremost to come to mind. Fox and the former WB have been the worst practitioners of the quick axe in the past but the other networks are quickly following suit. I have learned to not get too attached to any new show as getting to episode 13 has become some sort of accomplishment.

a million. Fox is extremely undesirable at that. see the 1st episode of the relaunch of kin guy for evidence. 2. penal complex ruin isn't finished, it extremely is pre-empted for baseball and could return 3. Joan of Arcadia became consistently on Fridays and had 2 seasons and Ghost whisperer has the best comparable time slot 4. Invasion additionally became given an entire season to run its direction. 5. for the checklist, as much as i admire Serenity/Firefly, even Joss Whedon admits that the movie has yet to make back production expenditures. 6. 80% of all new shows fail to get an entire 22 episode order., that's a million/5 shows that survives to ascertain a generic season so of course the opportunities are against the followers. on an identical time as Fox is DeeDeeDee, we additionally ought to comprehend that funds is king in television and if in basic terms a small cult watches we don't generate the funds they community needs

No. I'm angry that all tv shows aren't cancel. Period. What with their drawn-out bland story lines, horrendous laugh-tracks, the "hey-look-at-me I am a doctor/policeman/lawyer just like everyone else in every other tv show" no originality script-writers have these days, and commercials every five minutes.......I can't believe anyone still watches tv at all these days!
You are a brave person!

Yeah! I'm angry. I was upset when they dropped Sons and Daughters. Everyone I knew watched that show. It was the funniest thing I've seen on TV in the longest time, and it was cancelled out of nowhere. Shenanigans!!

Yeah, I dislike the fact that NBC cancelled Fear Factor, and I think they're already talking about cancelling Kidnapped because it isn't getting the numbers that they want.

They just want to earn profits, they don't care much about the viewers' feelings. To them, all the characters are their money-spinning machinese, but they are nearly our friends!
