yes yes it's a rant again .... this time against tv executives who are more concerned with the ratings numbers then actual quality content of the show.
Tis the time of the year when some shows wind down, and reach the end of their respective journeys, while some need to be actually pushed out the proverbial studio doors. Some however, get the rug pulled out from under them, get shoved into a small packing box, and get shipped to some smaller channel for syndication!
We've seen some great shows run it's course :
ER - 15 seasons,
Boston Legal - 5 seasons,
My Name is Earl - 4 seasons,
Without A Trace - 7 seasons
Prison Break had a good run of 4 seasons,
while Terminator : Sarah Connor Chronicles was done after 2 seasons.
But the biggest shockers were some of the shows i actually enjoyed watching cos they were damn good!
> Eleventh Hour (1season!)
> Reaper (2 seasons! but this one i saw coming...)
> Life (2 seasons!)
> Life on Mars (1 bloody good season!!)
sigh.... when will these idiots realise that Nielsen ratings is not the only way to judge the shows they have....
now we look towards the fall lineup to see what kind of replacements they have.

Industry insiders confirm Hollywood Reporter's article that ABC Studios is actively trying to sell Reaper. Syndication is a very real possiblity right now, but EVERYONE is recommending writing your affiliates! Help out! All details here: http://community.livejournal.com/reaperdmv/46875.html
