Slow night

by Staff Writer

Last night was my Lost night, so I really don’t have anything to discuss CrimeDrama wise. I could talk about Lost or South Park, but neither are truly CrimeDrama related. Instead I’m going to talk about something that has always ticked me off.

Years ago, I was thoroughly hooked in a show called John Doe. (The star of that show, whatever his name is, stars in Prison Break now.) The season ended with an amazing cliffhanger that I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. What happened next is that Fox canceled the show over the summer and we’ll never know! Why they couldn’t do one more episode and tie up all loose ends is beyond me. It would be like Lost being cancelled tomorrow and never airing again.

Fox did the same thing with Dark Angel, much to my husband’s chagrin, and then Tru Calling. Tru Calling was a great show, possibly less impressive once Luke Perry showed up, but then they could have dumped Luke Perry and let the show go on. Either way, I still enjoyed it. The problem was that they had Tru Calling pitted against, if I remember it correctly, CSI. Nothing stands a chance against CSI. So they cancelled the show. Oddly enough there is a show, DAY BREAK, starting very soon that has the same premise. If Tru Calling was cancelled, I’m going to assume this show will as well no matter who is in it.

My advice: instead of dumping a show that is pulling in some ratings, TRY moving it to another time slot. Wednesday from 8 to 9 there is NOTHING on that I want to bother with. Same with Monday and Thursday. Try moving schedules around and see if ratings pick up before just dumping a show. Verdict is the only show I have ever seen that has actually moved to a different time slot and I hope it helps save that show, I kind of like it. (Even though they’ve moved it to a time slot that doesn’t work for me.)

    I wish they’d sum up some things and get on with it. I’m getting tired of the others being enemies for whatever reason.

    What I really want is Sawyer freed… I don’t like them being held captive.
