So who thinks what show will be cancelled first?
My pick: The Mindy Project

And another astronaut!"RunnerFL" said:That's definitely what makes the show better. We talk about it at work a lot and how they get things right. So far only one thing we've caught has been wrong and that was on the iPhone app episode a couple of years ago.
Miracles do happen!mreposter said:It seems like the networks haven't been as aggressive with their cancellations this year, compared to the prior couple of years. It's nice to see most new shows given at least their initial half season orders to find an audience.
And - surprise, surprise - NBC is doing fairly well in the ratings.
The only surprise there is that it lasted this long.mreposter said:CBS has axed Monday comedy Partners. Next week will feature a 2 1/2 Men rerun in the 8:30 slot.

Ditto on both.RunnerFL said:Good thing I never started watching 666 Park Avenue. I'll delete the recordings and Series Link now.
As for Last Resort, Frak!
I really dont understand this mindset, i have enjoyed 666 Park Avenue and if it is only one season it was still enjoyableRunnerFL said:Good thing I never started watching 666 Park Avenue. I'll delete the recordings and Series Link now.
I don't want waste my time on a story that has no end. Why start watching something you know not enough people liked to keep it from being cancelled?longrider said:I really dont understand this mindset, i have enjoyed 666 Park Avenue and if it is only one season it was still enjoyable
I watched the first episode of "Last Resort" and liked it but had serious concerns that it appealed to too small an audience. I have recorded every episode in hope that it would make it or at least be given an opportunity to tie up loose ends and make a graceful exit. Unfortunately that doesnt look to be the case so I will probably delete them all before I can get interested and even more disappointed."lparsons21" said:Because you like the show?
I don't plan on stopping watching shows just because I know they won't run long.
That's what we need -- more laws!!! :nono:Too bad a law couldn't be passed that forced producers and broadcasters to guarantee a series finale that tied up all the loose ends when a show was cancelled.
Only if you are a Neilsen household"Nick" said:Not watching a program because it might not garner sufficient viewership is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Dumping a season's recorded but unwatched episodes, or even half a season's worth is crazy.
That was intended to be tounge-in-cheek.That's what we need -- more laws!!! :nono:
Exactly.RunnerFL said:I don't want waste my time on a story that has no end. Why start watching something you know not enough people liked to keep it from being cancelled?
If you don't start watching it, which I haven't, it's impossible for you to "like the show". That's the whole point. Why start if you know it's a loser and was cancelled?lparsons21 said:Because you like the show?

Starting to watch a show you know has been cancelled is comparable to going on a vacation with no destination. You just drive around and never go anywhere.pablo said:I too don't get this notion of not watching a season of a series just because it was cancelled.
And I'll continue watching it since I've already started. I haven't even started watching "666 Park Avenue" so why start?pablo said:Last Resort will still air all its 13 episodes.
It's not a standard, it's a choice that I've made.pablo said:Adhering to this standard means missing out on a lot of one-season wonders that were cancelled way before their time (see Freaks and Geeks, my own personal Top-10 series of all time).

From IMDB Mr. Ed trivia: The horse that played Mr. Ed is said to have died in 1979 at the age of 30, 33 or 34 (depending on the source). Other, equally reputable, sources give the horse's date of death as 1968, 1973 and 1974.mreposter said:The show was on before my time, but I still have sleepless nights wondering what happened to Mr. Ed.
We found out a little about Tabitha Stevens, but nothing about Wednesday Addams.mreposter said:The show was on before my time, but I still have sleepless nights wondering what happened to Mr. Ed.
