VERY often it's just low ratings, not because a show isn't good or even great, it just didn't have time to find its audience. That would be like saying all movies that did poorly at the box office are bad movies. Programs that don't generate ratings suck. It's that plain and simple. If it doesn't suck, then it usually grabs the attention of the masses, thus making it a success. You see? You're joking right? Not at all, I only deal in facts. THEN you mean that every show eventually ends up sucking since EVERYTHING is cancelled at some point? And every show that has high ratings doesn't suck? Does your theory only apply to tv shows or does it include film and music? I could probably light my balls on fire, film it, put it on youtube, and generate a lot of attention from the masses as a result. But I wouldn't call that a success or not sucking. ...oh, what a thrill ! Goodness, gracious... Well....it's late and I've been pounding liquor all evening, so I couldn't possibly articulate a response. But I'll get back to ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softfilter Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (goose @ Nov 9 2009, 02:11 AM) The Night Stalker. Man, loved the Night Stalker had some genuine scary suspenseful moments and humor! Darren McGavin the Christmas Story dad played his role perfect Anyone remember Rod Serling's Night Gallery? Nowhere near as good as Sterling's classic The Twilight Zone. Was rather goofy lower budget reminded me of Batman tv series at times. But every once in awhile had some episodes worth watching.

workingcinderellaman Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 QUOTE (ReRushed @ Nov 7 2009, 12:20 AM) The Dana Carvey Show Yep, I agree. Networks don't give comedy shows enough time to build an audience. I think this one could have done well. This was done well before Steve Carell or Stephen Colbert was famous. http://www.hulu.com/watch/57772/the-dana-c...rt-1#s-p1-sr-i1 Notice the EH desk.

Del_Duio Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 QUOTE (GeddyRulz @ Nov 5 2009, 09:16 PM) Ah, the Ben Stiller Show! Another great one! And Square Pegs! Just remembered: the bizarre and unique Chris Elliot sitcom Get a Life. He's a thirty-year-old who still lives with his parents and works as a paperboy. Truly surreal plotlines each week, and sometimes he'll be killed (once or even multiple times) in an episode only to continue in the next scene or episode. (Pre-Kenny from South Park.) It lasted two or three seasons, and yes, they slipped in quality the last year, but it was still a hysterical show for people with a weird sense-of-humor. Entertainment Weekly lists it as one of the "25 Greatest Cult TV Shows Ever." http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/060315/92428__chris_l.jpg Get A Life was SO AWESOME!! I still remember WALLET BOY! And the one where he built a submarine in his bathtub or something. But the best was the time travel one. He went back and met his kid self who then asked the older Chris a bunch of stupid questions like "Will I go back in time and meet myself?" I don't know exactly but it was hillarious!

Andrew1 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I'm not 100% positive that this show has been cancelled but I thought 'Breaking Bad' on A&E was excellent. Does anyone know what happened to this show? I've looked online but can't seem to get any straight answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arndrake Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 A recent one that got my interest as a summer fill-in was Defying Gravity. It appears the show is still being played in Canada as a production company there was one of the producers, but ABC decided to dump it once the fall schedule started (bastards). I heard rumors another network might pick it up, SyFy being the most likely candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
