Cancelled Television Shows
October 31st, 2003 at 12:00 amThey have gone too far…
I was surfing the web a few days ago when I came across a site of recently cancelled TV shows. I was interested to see if the lastest NBC bombs Couplings and Watching Ellie had finally been given the axe and low and behold, they are no more!! Thank God.
But then I read the whole list and I noticed that Mister Sterling was on this list. I was actually a little stunned when I saw this because I personally thought it was a good show. Alas, nobody else did though and NBC gave it the boot and banished it off to TV wasteland.
Then I saw that Whose Line Is It Anyway? is on hiatus. I read a few of the press releases that ABC has released about the show and let me say, it sounds as if Whose Line is already in the bar and pretty drunk, flirting with Destruction and one shot of bad Russian Vokda away from going home with her.
I didn’t think it could get any worse and then I saw John Doe on the list. Alright, what the hell is going on? This show was awesome. It had suspense, it had mystery, it had love, and it had a main character who could kick ass. What’s missing? Why did FOX decide to cancel this? My brothers and I watched this every week and I think the main thing that I am pissed off over is we didn’t find out WHO THE HELL JOHN DOE REALLY WAS!!! You bastards….
And then I saw it. Hidden Hills is no more. How could TV do this to me? This show was GREAT! Anybody who was in a relationship and somehow couldn’t relate to this show should have gone out and shot themselves. Plus the wife was hot! These (minus WLIIA, which had been on for years) were the only new shows last year that were even halfway decent and instead of keeping them, we are stuck with “Joe Millionaire 2, Return of the Retards,” Slut…er, Paradise Hotel, and Fear Factor? Forget not giving money to schools, forget all the people addicted to drugs and in jail and who are living out on the street. THIS is what’s wrong with America. Mark my words, it will be the downfall of this nation.
And then this reminded me of who is running the networks. Brilliant my friends, just brilliant.

November 1st, 2003 at 12:03 pmWhy can’t I remember the show “Hidden Hills”? Wow, I can’t believe NBC pulled the plug on Coupling so quickly. That show’s promos lasted longer than the show itself. I’ve never seen a channel hype one show so much before. They probably would’ve had better luck just playing the BBC version I guess.
Who needs “Who’s Line” anyway, just watch the Wayne Brady show. Lordy, is that man funny. I don’t know how my days would go if I didn’t have him in the mornings.
