Ah, sweet TV-death, first you take away Angel into the dark abyss of cancellation and now your new child Wonderfalls. Curse you TV-death! Ok, but seriously, what ever happened to networks giving a show the chance to mature and find their audience and voice? It's funny, because by today's standards shows like X-Files and Star Trek The Next Generation would have been cancelled mid-season. But now TV execs (or at least FOX execs it seems) demand instant audiences even when under-promoting and placing a show on a death-watch night like Friday. I shouldn't be surprised. This was the same network that cancelled Firefly after 11 or so episodes, a show that was so successful in DVD release that a movie is now being made with the same cast and crew taking place six months after the last episode of the show). Also the same network that cancelled Family Guy, which did so well on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and on DVD that it has been resurrected with new eps coming this fall over two years after cancellation. Maybe FOX should get the hint. So sorry fans of interesting TV, there will be less of it here on out. Hope you enjoy The Bachelor 38: Mega-Bachelor Battle Challenge! |
