we haven't really had time to see whether the new booth-bones-baby relationship is going to work out. i'd
have waited to see how the audience reacts after the never-ending hiatus before renewing - but clearly i'm
not them.
yeah i'm very happy to see it renewed and i would have like to see terra nova continue a bit more too
but hey, don't give any new series a break just cancel them, it's easier right ? and as someone already
stated the breaks between the shows appearing are so darn long. when was the last bones was on air
feels like forever, by the way same thing with the finder. how can you expect ratings when the people
who do want to watch it have to do a 3 hour search just to see if it is on this week or not. then its two to
three weeks before we get to see another episode. too much time in between we knd of lose interest.
they might want to try to handle the shows properly, rather than cancel them when the audience can't
figure out when they're on. it's gotten to where, with some of the new shows, i've started waiting
to see if they're renewed, before watching the first season. who starts reading a novel, if the odds
are that the second through last chapter will be missing?
well, the way the show just disappears for months then returns for a few eps only to disappear for a few
weeks etc etc i figured fox were fed up with it.
as for all the shows they cancelled or are dragging their heels with. it would serve them right not to have
any established shows for next season.
terra nova was coming along nicely and a second season would have been interesting to see.
fringe has been fantastic right from the word go (but it keeps appearing and disappearing with
monotonous regularity as well).
then there's alcatraz, which i have enjoyed so far. not happy if they cancel that either.
it's unreasonable of networks to expect shows to take the world by ratings storm and win a huge fan base
when you can never be sure when they're going to be on or not.
once upon a time a show had a 5 or 6 month season, it played every week except major holidays, then
was replaced by another "off-season" show for the next 5 or 6 months. you had your favourite shows you
looked forward to each week and the show had a spectacular cliff-hanger at the end of each season.
now, you can't plan your viewing because shows are only on 2 or 3 weeks out of every 5, and sometimes
they start late, depending upon what lame reality or game crap was on before it.
...and out of all this, a show has to grab healthy ratings or it's summarily cancelled. the networks and
programming bods are total crap!
