I now have two shows I'm pretty obsessed with. And I have a problem here.

See, the two shows I've gotten obsessed with are Community and Fringe. The first, I'm a relatively new viewer of. The latter, I've loved since day one.

Needless to say, both shows are in serious danger of being cancelled. Although, I'm expecting Community back (what else does NBC have, really? I've heard Parks and Recreation is good, but 30 Rock and The Office are old and stale.) I'll be surprised if Fringe gets renewed (although I will dance around if I find it is.)

Is it my taste in shows? Are my taste of shows just bad?

See, the shows that keep getting renewed over and over again are getting old and stale. I used to love Supernatural and How I Met Your Mother. I've left Supernatural behind--only have seen one episode this season (although I do plan on watching "Time After Time" online on Tuesday. Jensen Ackles in 1940s clothes? Although I'm scared that the time traveling story will make me mad. If Elliot Ness was in Chicago in 1944 in this episode, I will be mad. If this is true, the show no longer has researchers apparently.) I've seen every episode of HIMYM, but I think I'm going to leave it. I'm not enjoying it. I might finish up these season (maybe just to see Barney's wedding.) But, they're dragging Ted meeting the Mother too much for me. It's getting to be where I don't care anymore.

And I don't understand it...

Friday's Fringe episode was amazing! And I don't understand why more people don't watch the show. I personally think this season has rocked, and I want the story to keep going. Is it just my taste? Is it bad, and I just can't see it? I don't understand.

Maybe somewhere in another universe or another timeline, Fringe is the hit it should be.

Community. How can you not love this show? It's the funniest show (in my opinion) airing. And NBC benched it for the mid-season. It will be back in the spring, but it will probably be cancelled. It is one of the most original shows airing today. Is it because it can't actually decide on a genre? Is that why more people don't watch it? It's a sitcom, but it constantly does parodies. And it's creative. "Remedial Chaos Theory" was the best thing on TV for quite a while.

Why is it that tired shows, like How I Met Your Mother, Supernatural, any reality show just keep getting renewed over and over and over again. Yet some extremely creative, quality shows are going to be cancelled?

Or is it that I just have weird taste in shows and can't tell what's good or not?
