TV Rants thread (Show deaths, ratings, anger at networks etc.)

[Dr.Zoidberg]

I need to cancel my cable since any show I even half way watch gets cancelled quickly or only last a season or two:
Firefly (going back aways)
More recent and I know most weren't great and should have been canned but some were just fun:
Pushing Daisies
Reaper
Better Off Ted
My own worst enemy
Happy town
Flashfoward
Mr Sunshine
Breaking in
Mad Love
Outsourced
Dollhouse

Pushing Daisies and Better Off Ted were great shows, PD got killed by the writers strike(lost any momentum it had) and BOT was bounced around too much....

I really think the pay channel model is the best one. They run their shows for 12 straight weeks. No hiatus, no repeats. Then they move on to the next show. It allows them to write a better quality product. Trying to write 22 weeks and spread those over eight months leads to weak and/or filler eps and endless opportunity for the audience to lose interest.
