bastard tv execs

Here, here!

I can never decide which is worse, when they out right cancel a show or when they muck about with it and destroy it anyway since it's not the show you knew and loved before

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I think I'd rather my show go out with a bang instead of die a slow, painful death.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

good point. Then there are shows that are moving along happily and the writers destroy in the finale by killing off your favorite characters

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

And this season, there are SO MANY OF THEM.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I repeat *bastards*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

All of the shows kind of went out with a bang this season and, oddly enough, only one or two really shocked me.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

most went out on more of a whimper for me, even *if* they were supposed to be a bang

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I think the only one that really ended up being a bang (so far) was Numb3rs. I really wasn't expecting the ending they gave us. I would've preferred a death, I think.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I don't watch that. I thought House was powerful. Bones, NCIS, Supernatural all king of lame (and I know i've seen other finales but can't even come up with them, which says something I think)

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

For Numb3rs, they basically destroyed the whole premise of the show. Completely. I'm really interested to see how they work this one out.

Supernatural really disappointed me. Seriously, I saw that one coming from a mile away. I know they were kind of pressed to end the season with a bang, but I think they should've spent some more time on it.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Supernatural went out with a whimper, thats for sure.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Dean certainly deserved a better death than that.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it was just kind of... blah and lame and ho hum, he's dead

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And then there was that little "oh, by the way, the creepy-ass demon child is suddenly powerless again Sam".

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I had difficulty caring about that

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

They didn't give us much incentive to care.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

which leads back to the *sigh* bastards

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'm beginning to think everything about TV inevitably leads back to that.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

but at least they give us a little of this too

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. So true.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and thank heavens for that!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Otherwise, we'd really have no reason to stick around. Well, no excuse, at least.

It's possible to watch shows without amazingly cute or hot actors, but by no means as fun!
