Why do good shows get canceled?
 

I find it hugely irritating:mad:

Same reason Larry the Cable guy makes so much money. Majority of people don't like smart, witty shows.

Its almost always due to ratings, even when a show is fucked around in the schedule the tv execs expect high ratings. Hell The Wire has been threatened with cancellation after every season and its probably the best, most well crafted tv drama ever produced.

Then I guess I have become pretty smart...because the other day my friend let me borrow the new Larry The Cable Guy DVD and I had to turn it off less than ten minutes into it because it was so bad.

Most people are stupid and have horrible taste.

I am so pissed about carnivale getting cancelled that I could kill an oak tree.

I want to know who John Doe is.

Is that too much to ask damn it:rant:

Veronica Mars :'(

Seriously the second season finale of carnivale had me hooked so bad.

just watch sports.

I wanted The Black Donnellys to stick around. But that didn't last long. Neither did that comedy show that took it's place either.

Sports Night
Firefly
Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip

Yeah, my heart's been broken a time or two (or... I guess... three) in the last few years. It's always the sharp, character- and dialogue-driven series that go. Clears up more room on the schedule for more spin-offs, reality shows, and fat-guy-with-hot-wife sitcoms.

Thank God that there are actually people who watch Heroes, Lost, and 24 (although this past season was bad) or else I'd be in pretty bad shape.

The OC :(

24 is gonna be the tits this year. They have already scrapped the start of production twice cause they are not happy with what has been thrown forward. He truly wants the show to get back to it's ways

That's not even ratings, the Wire draws huge numbers. It's not "The Sopranos" Huge, but little is.

Sometimes, cancellations are based entirely on stupidity. Look at the Sci Fi channel. Battlestar Galactica's ratings slip, so they cancelled Stargate. :wtf:

But yeah, often enough, it's ratings. I love how they put "Drive" up against some of the biggest shows on TV and bounced it around in the schedule, but expected it to draw huge ratings.

This man is bang on.

Studio 60 deserved to get canceled. It went from one of the most awesome shows to a terrible fucking show in about half a season.

And as for Larry the Cable Guy, he himself is actually a smart guy. He was doing stand up for some time not doing well just as plane old guy. Went with his new dumb downed gimmick and became a hit. Got to respect that, nothing like making millions off of stupid people thinking you are stupid.

Also Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn was one of my favorite shows. Still so upset that it is gone. Although Colbert Report is pretty pimp. I'd drop daily show and have colbert/tough crowd combo. A man can dream.

Downloaded the show Drive. Excellent show that died too quick. Just like Firefly.

Remember when Family Guy got cancelled...holy shit.

Because you touch yourself at night. :shifty:

R.I.P Arrested Development.

<font color=white>Day Break
Playmakers
Off Centre

:( </font>

Probably the best thing to happen to them.

Same with Futurama.

Angel

Why did they cancel this show, it was excellent.

Firefly
Drive
Freakylinks
Greg The Bunny
Dark Angel

Is that sad that four out of those five are named in the first episode of Family Guy when it returned from being canceled?

Grounded For Life
Still Standing

Family Guy is the goods.

And anyone bashing the show is dead to me.

I liked Smith, but it was only canceled after 3 episodes.

:heart:

The thing that really gets me in all this, is that Will and Grace was allowed to run for 10 years :(

Oh, and how could I forget Freaks And Geeks?

That truly is :wtf: worthy. 10 fucking yrs?

I'm gonna upset KK by saying this but meh, Stargate should never have gone on for as long as it did, Enterprise was just getting really good around the time SG1 was getting far too tiresome, not to mention Firefly > everything.

ct2k you have lost the plot massively lately, shut yo yap.

Although Enterprise was very enjoyable.

I loved Enterprise. :(

Enterprise? Good?

Now I know you're high.

Though Firefly>All.

Star Trek's gay.

Avenger is now dead to me

yeah I didn't mind Enterprise, although I didn't watch it regularly.

Scratch that. What I liked about it was it's concept. The show tended to be lacking in passion. Also, not to geek out, but it didn't follow it's own created timeline. Kinda silly, OH WELL



Hopefull Heroes sticks around.
