It was a sad day last week when ABC announced it would not be ordering additional episodes of Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money. I knew they were not big in the ratings with the exception of Daisies but when ABC renewed them for a second season I hate great hope in networks once again. I know the writer's strike hurt these shows immensely but I believed they would prevail. But that was all a pipe dream and now I must start to pick and choose what new shows I get into carefully once again. I dreamed that networks would choose quality programming over ratings (like the CW and FX) but that is never going to happen. And the biggest quarrel I have is that so many questions go unanswered when the networks do this. Will Chuck and Ned ever be able to touch? Who killed Dutch? Will Eli and Maggie ever be together? These questions will burn in my mind for years to come with the exception of who killed Dutch because word is they will tell us in the final episode of DSM, but still it makes me want to scream. I am currently very much into ABCs new show Life on Mars but now with this major axe falling, I worry about a good show like that falling victim to the money hungry bosses at ABC. I will remain a devoted watcher to the final episodes of these shows and remain a fan for a longtime after, but networks need to seriously start thinking about the viewers that watch these shows no matter how many there are. Since did 3,000,000 million viewers become a small number. I don't even think I've met that many people in my 25 years of existence. I prolly won't even meet that many people in my lifetime, but I do know it's a lot of people and should warrent shows to stay on the air. Share with me what you think on this topic by leaving some comments. Til next post, goodbye.
