Amen!

It's currently 3am, I just got home from the airport a little while ago, I couldn't sleep, so I turned on the tv. The only good show that's on.. L&O. It's so awesome, that between L&O and SVU, I'm pretty sure you could find at least one episode playing every hour of every day.

I love this show! One of my friends introduced me to it in college. At that point, it had probably been off the air for about a year. But I'm not surprised it was cancelled.. I don't think anyone has even heard of it! I know I hadn't until my friend told me about it.


John Dark: Forget Cleo. She’s a skanky ho. Why, you’d be better off with someone like… Joan of Arc!
Abe: Are you serious, John Dark? Joan of Arc?
John: Sure! That Joan of Arc is one tasty piece of bitch!
Abe: Well, she’s smart, loyal, pretty, and I delight in her caustic wit, but…
John: But nothing! You should date the crap out of her!

My biggest pet peeve with networks is that they 'know' whether they are going to cancel a show or not and they then allow the show to do a "season" finale, which then the show leaves you (the viewer) with SOOOO many questions that then never get answered! The least these stupid networks can do is with the newbie shows tell them "hey you don't know if you will be renewed, make sure that all the big questions get answered by the end of the season and just leave little minor questions that could continue on if you are renewed for season 2". You are left with so many unanswered questions and then find out AFTER the "season" finale that "oh by the way the show isn't being renewed".

Plus, I wish networks gave shows a chance. I'm sorry most shows take more than one season to really find their footing and to gain an audience. Why can't you give shows a chance? It just sucks trying to "get involved" in a tv show and then it being cancelled.

Then the shows get replaced with stupid bs reality tv shows.

I agree with everything you’ve said! J

To use GCB as an example, by the time the season finale aired, the decision had been made. But let’s say even when they were filming the episode, it was still up in the air. Maybe they could have filmed 2 different endings- one to be used as a cliffhanger in case there would be a season 2, and the other that would wrap up the various plotlines, even if it was in a voiceover/scene-montage style, sort of like the end of Desperate Housewives (“Carlene never did build her Condos for Christian Living, but she did {blah blah blah}” Or whatever).

I really liked Glory Daze which was shown on TBS. It only lasted one season, but I thought it was pretty funny.

Veronica Mars! I thought the first two seasons were two of the best written seasons I've still seen to this day. The third was .. okay. But it was still far better than most. I love Veronica's character.. Smart and sassy! Still watch the show over and over again on Netflix. So good!

I'm super sad about GCB. I NEVER watch a show every week/keep up with it and I watched every episode of that.

I watched the last episode of Harry's Law last Sunday. It was so well-written and acted--great, current plot lines and Kathy Bates never failed to delight. The ensemble cast worked so well together; it was one of the best episodes of the season.

As least it goes out on a high note, but I still can't believe it did not find an audience.
