Is anything on US TV safe anymore?
It seems that when a programme becomes successful not only in the States, but around the world, it suddenly gets cancelled.
Why? Just because its lost half a million viewers, that isn't a reason to cancel something! You're forgetting the billions around the world are watching it.
The latest victim to get the snip is ABC's Ugly Betty. This is a show I didn't expect to the get the chop at all.
But there are other shows that I believe have had unfair early exits.
Shows like "Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicals", "Firefly", "Dollhouse", and "Knight Rider". All big shows with a huge fan base, but cancelled after one or two seasons.
US stations aren't giving these programmes enough time to thrive.
Family Guy was cancelled three times by different stations before Fox bought the rights and gave it the boost it needed. Now its bigger than The Simpsons!
Take note, ABC, CBS and CW, give shows a chance. If its failing then bringing in new writers for the next season until you get it right!
By the way, what is your problem with Joss Wheldon??? That guy has brought fantastic shows to the small screen yet the network's sack him off after the first season (except Buffy and Angel). Give him a break!
