So I’ve recently found out that NBC has canceled Andy Barker PI after four episodes. FOUR EPISODES!!!!! They have also pulled The Black Donnellys after six episodes, and numerous other shows. It is ridiculous. NBC seems to have become the new Fox, canceling shows left, right and center. They don’t even give a show time to become popular. If it doesn’t have good ratings right away, it’s gone. It took Seinfeld four seasons before it broke into Nielson’s Top 30.
I just think that they can’t judge how a show is going to do why the ratings, viewing of four episodes. What makes it even worse is that they replace these shows with crap, like The Real Wedding Crashers, another stupid reality show. I hate reality shows, I wish they would stop making them. Or with that new comedy one with the really dumb name. I watched part of it last night, and it was retarded. It was not funny at all. I watched CSI Miami instead, which bugs me too.
What gets me about CSI Miami is that it seems like Horaito has a personal connection with every single case. And his stupid one liners, and the glasses and how he stands when he talks to people, and how he talks to people. Yet I watch it anyways. I rarely watch new ones, yet I always seem to watch the ones on A&E or Showtime.
Well, that got off topic pretty quick. Well, NBC sucks.

You know what sucks even more about NBC? I can’t even watch the online episodes of the Black Donelleys because they have blocked them in Canada. And whatever happened to Studio 60?

It was supposed to come back on, but it isn’t going to any more. It looks like it will be like The Black Donnellys on NBC.com. That time slot, which was TBD as well, is going to the Real Wedding Crashers. Grrrrrrrr.

All network TV blows. It appeals to the masses, and the masses aren’t really that intelligent – hence reality programming (and George W.). The new Fox – ha ha, very funny. It’s crappy, but good shows get canceled all the time. You should sign some useless online petition – those seem to be effective…
So totally unrelated, but something very cool about your blog – the automatic spell check in the comments! Loving that – I am a terrible speller!
