Who else thinks that great shows that are really good do not get enough credit and attention after their first

Question

and second seasons? They are considered to be 'buzz' shows for the networks new season and then when something better comes along they are shafted into less attractive timeslots and subsequently, due to the lower ratings, which is the networks fault in the first place, they get lower budgets and therefore are not as good as they once were. As a result, loyal viewers get dissapointed with their outcome once they finally come to a conclusion or subsequent seasons, this is not satisfying, not fair and sometimes ruins great shows which were so ingenious, exciting and enjoyable. I am speaking about shows like Alias, Veronica Mars and the like. I know Veronica Mars and the OC have not been cancelled, but they are only picked up for a certain number of episodes, if they do not get the good ratings then they will be scrapped, with an unfinished ending, this leaves loyal fans demoralized. And people who watch shows for one season to be cool are still the ones being catered to, all for money

Answer 1

I know what you're saying. I'm so, so worried they will cancel Veronica Mars. Meanwhile crap like 7th Heaven has run for close to a decade.... what a shame....

Where have all the good shows gone?

Further examples of brilliant shows canceled after just one season: Firefly, Undeclared, Freaks and Geeks

Such a shame...

Answer 2

I agree. There are a lot of great shows out there that I liked too but were prematurely cancelled. Maybe there should be a network where all the "cancelleds" are adopted. I'll definitely be a loyal viewer of that network if they have Firefly, Tru Calling, Joan of Arcadia, etc. in their lineup.

Answer 3

generally, new shows like veronica mars and the oc are considered to be "fresh" on the networks, unlike major ones like CSI. each time a new show comes along, networks pick them up like a gamble, and naturally, if a more favoured show comes along, these new ones have to be sidelined. if you're an executive, would you put on a show that you know more than a million viewers will watch definitely? or will you put on a show that you don't even know if the cats are watching and yet you still call it "potential"?

Answer 4

Adding to this concern is that sometimes the person who wrote the pilot episode does not write any subsequent show, so the series gets a great first outing, then hits the skids.

Case in Point is "Family Dog", a very funny animated series that was first seen on Steven Speilberg's "Amazing Stories" (it was the whole episode.

Spielberg so dragged his feet in getting the talent lined up, he lost them all to another animated show (perhaps you heard of it. "The Simpsons"?)

So when the show eventually aired, the crisp writing talent from the pilot was gone and the show limped through one pathetic season

Then, artistic differences drive others away, so you get a wild inconsistancy in everything ("Commander in Chief" is another excellent example of too much loss and shuffling)

Answer 5

I agree. i do no longer think of the individuals who latest television shows unavoidably have an obligation to be the main sophisticated and suitable people. they are purely human like us, and that they take exhilaration in a snigger. it particularly is in comparison to Jeremey Clarkson harm anyone, is it? i do no longer think of they must be allowed to declare in spite of they like approximately anyone else: on no account - they must safeguard a point of appreciate yet i think of that as quickly as something is obviously a comedian tale, it would be taken that way. some distance too many each and every physique is rapid to whinge approximately it. Who cares if type and Ross made an unfunny comedian tale approximately some non-well-liked tart? the only offensive subject, in my eyes, is that Ross gets paid greater a week than some people make in a year £16k).

Answer 6

I agree there were a couple of shows i liked that got cancelled.
