![]() Just saw the early predictions for shows to be cancelled shortly and Journeyman is on the list. This comes after years when Arrested Development, Rome, and other great shows were cancelled. Of course the ratings winners are shows like Dancing with the Stars, Survivor, Big Brother and other shows that take no intellect to watch.
TV continues to head down the shitter. Probably replace Journeyman with another fucking reality show. ![]() |

I gave up on tv a long time ago.
The sitcoms are the worse. It's like you have to be seriously stupid to watch them these days.

It's called mindless entertainment. They want us to watch that crap to keep from thinking too much. When we start thinking too much, then the government has issues. Crazy thing is my woman loves that stuff. That in itself is scary.

I doubt it. It's cheap to produce and it caters to people who are dumb. The biggest show on TV is Dancing with the Stars. Anything that requires any intellect to watch is cancelled for low ratings.

Yeah... I haven't bothered watching a single new series so far this season because I'm tired of vesting myself in a program only to see it taken away.
I'm not that excited about television right now... not even Heroes is doing it for me like it used to.

Journeyman is an awesome show...I hope it makes it.
Sucks that these new shows come out every year and you get hooked on them, and they get pulled. I'm still crying over Studio 60 and Jericho from last year. ![]()

As long as Lost sticks around, I'll be happy. That's the only show I really watch, everything else is filler. Although, I can't help but like those shows like America's Funniest Home Videos that show dudes taking large or fast moving objects right to the onions. Pretty sure that won't get old as long as I live.

I don't think I watch any primetime stuff. Mostly I enjoy Drawn Together, Top Gear, Good Eats, Mythbusters, and those kickass BBC shows like "You are what you eat" and "Justin and (someone) on the Estate" and the show with the cleaning ladies.

Jericho is back I believe. I think it's only a half a season but still better than nothing.

I really enjoy Big Brother, but it also is only on during the summer when its repeat season and doesn't take away from quality shows. I do also enjoy the Amazing race for reality programming.
Having Studio 60 from last year get canceled pissed me off.

Televison programing is and always has been produced to entertain simpletons. Every "reality" show on tv goes through HEAVY editing and many scenes are shot 3-4 times until the producers get the reactions they want. The majority of the scenes are planned out and stocked with extras. (Next time the cast members walk into a bar or building figure out why there are already cameras inside waiting and filming them walking in??)
The "good" shows, (programs with a plot, strong cast, inelligence,...) are cancelled because the audiences of higher iq viewers are opting to do work, build small businesses, or spending time with the family instead of vegitating in front of the "boob tube" like a pile of shit. |

I think it's tough to put HBO and Showtime in the mix. They almost always put out intelligent original programming. Their target market is someone who will pay for quality television. |

So, you're saying that only idiots are willing to watch bad TV.
Who knew? ![]() I agree. I turned off the tube when Survivor was on the FIRST time. When reruns of my favorite shows were over, I switched to CourtTV and BBC America. My TV's been unplugged for nearly a year, now. I don't miss it at all. Good (dead) Shows: NewsRadio, Action!, Profit, Animaniacs ![]()

I think a lot of it simply that many people work all day at a job they aren't overjoyed with then they get home and deal with kids, families, whatever and by the end of the night they are just tired and want to be mindlessly entertained for a few hours before they go to bed and they don't really want to have to put too much effort into the show. I think there are enough people out there that would be willing to give shows a chance, but the studios basically kill them before they have a chance. look at Jericho. It was doing okay and starting to build an audience then they took it off the air for 2 months and brought it back. By then many people had moved on or just lost interest.

Jericho was one of my favorite shows last season (thank God it's coming back later this year). Having Skeet Ulrich in your cast though seems to be bad karma. I was soooo mad when ABC canned 'Miracles' in 2003. Was the only time I have ever written a letter to a television network. I vowed to never watch another minute of programing on ABC again and to this date I still haven't. Thank God Monday Night Football is on ESPN now.

Reality TV targets dumb people. Dumb people are easier to pursued. TV is all about selling advertising. Advertisers prefer to sell to people that will believe and buy their bullshit. You can figure out the rest.
On Rome, it was never meant to be more then one season. They only made the second season because of how well the first one did and the out cry from fans. There really isn't much more to tell in that story line.

A perfect example is CSI. A fairly smart show, it has always been top 10 material. However, when Grey's Anatomy moved into the same timeslot last season, ratings dropped. People prefered the almost mental soap opera to the procedural drama of CSI. The reply? CSI started a huge story arc about a personal relationship between two of the members of the cast and spun it hard as hell, pure soap. The end result? Ratings to start this season are above those of Grey's. People prefered the soapy aspects of the show over the intelligent parts of the show, apparently. You will never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. The networks know it. |
