Ahem.Avaholic03 said:All those shows follow the same formula. They tweak the details a bit, but there aren't really any original story ideas in any of them. Entirely too predictable and cliché for me. The worst is CSI Miami with that tool in the sunglasses always acting like everything he says is profound in some way. Give me a break.scotth266 said:Oi. Mock Law and Order all you want (most of the spinoffs do stink, and the newer episodes did too) but CSI? The only season of that you'll get away with mocking on my watch is NY. That one... it's just not interesting.Avaholic03 said:What really perplexes me is that some crap shows like CSI and Law & Order get tons of spin-offs and stay on forever. Do that many people really watch that crap, or did they just get a lucky time slot?
I have to say I was a fan of Pushing Daisies.
The show was great and Fox gave it one season because nobody watched it on Friday night. Maybe if, as high_castle said, they actually advertised it, and seriously, why do they air new shows on Friday night, when most people actually do something other than sit around watching TV? I don't know, I just really hate Fox for things like this.Frybird said:*Insert the usual rant about Firefly being cancelled despite being good enough to be an everlasting classic*high_castle said:So, Escapist fans, any shows these season or past years you feel were unjustly canceled (yes, I'm expecting waves of browncoats in this reply)? Or anyone want to take the networks' side?
That's another reason I hate these networks, and also the general population. My cousin and one of my bet friends put it very well:high_castle said:Great. So some of the best shows on TV won't be coming back at all, while another truly unique show is getting a reduced season. Yet somehow all these cheap reality knockoffs keep going on like the Energizer bunny.
Hell yes, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is fucking hilarious. I watched a video in my Sci-Fi class at my school, ah, memory lane has never been so awsomegriever0311 said:Shows we needed to keep: Futurama, Firefly, Stargate SG-1, and MYSTERY F***ING SCIENCE THEATER 3000 - FULL STOP
