Anyone who has watched the FOX network in the last few years has been burned numerous times by their cancellation policy. FOX seems to work on the idea of “If we make it, we must cancel”. Last year they spent about six months advertising a new show starring Nathan Fillion called Drive. Six months of ads lead to three aired episodes. I”m sure there are many blogs out there who still can’t get over the cancellation of Firefly, and many other. FOX is famous for launching a dozen new shows, and canceling all of them by seasons end. In the last few years I think the only shows that have made it are House, and 24. As I sit here I’m watching a show that met a similar fate, so I thought I’d talk about a few that I liked that never made it.

Posts Tagged “sci fi”For the uninitiated, Mystery Science Theater 3000 was probably one of the most inventive shows ever conceived by man. I’m not going to go into a whole lot of detail about it (since I’m assuming most people have heard of Google by now), but suffice to say, it is missed. The show itself gained major popularity at the same time the internet was taking off in the typical suburban home. Add to that the little fact that people who were fans of the series were also the only people really using the internet (well, that and early porn addicts), and it means that many of the earliest fan sites were dedicated to the show! Funny thing is, though, I really think it came about in the wrong time frame. Tags: Barbwire, comedy central, Google, IPTV, merchandising, Mr B Natural, MST, mtv, RSS, sci fi |
