Re: Friday Night Lights show

Don't get me started on Reunion. First they cancel it, 2nd I read where the writers didn't even know how to end it! UGH!

Do you mean they didn't know how to end it from the start, or what to do when Fox pulled the plug?

I always thought Carla was going to be the murderer myself.

From the start, they had no clue how they were going to end it, and had it planned out for 15 ep's, the final 5 they were going to wing it, but weren't even written at time of cancellation.

Re: Friday Night Lights show

Wow, that makes me blame Fox a little less. How do you even pitch that show without knowing how you will end it?

I didn't watch Reunion, but the producers mentioned who they thought would be the killer. They said it was probably going to be Sam's daughter.

That would've been messed up since they kept saying it was one of the 5 friends.

Re: Friday Night Lights show

Figures. The only two new shows I'm watching this fall are going to get sh*t-canned.

Oh, well, just proves that America is becoming the land of the lowest common denominator. We don't want to think; we just want stupid sh*t like reality TV and "Dancing with the Stars" thrown at us.

Take care,

Couldn't agree more. Reality TV used to be the News or Sports. Now it's Jerry Springer dancing or Cheech singing.
Survivor is the stupidest show around. Each year they put together the exact same personalities who have the exact same arguments and squabbles and the ratings never go away.
I bet, for the next Survivor, you could put actors on the island and have them say exact dialogue from Survivor 2 and nobody would notice. Not one. It could have the exact same outcome and nobody would notice or blink an eye.
Man do I hate reality TV.

Re: Friday Night Lights show

I agree whole heartedly. Last year I loved Reunion on Fox, which was cancelled because of its weak lead in. Call it a hunch, FNL could thrive on the CW.

wasn't reunion on right after the OC? I don't know where else you coud have put it

I really liked Reunion and those bozos at FOX cancel it just like they have with many shows before it.

Re: Friday Night Lights show

I'm not sure about Studio 60 being canned. I think it will make it through its first season just because of the great reviews and because NBC doesnt have anything good to replace it.

Well if the ratings are low and declining they will.There will be a significant drop in advertising dollars making it expensive for NBC to keep paying for the show.It is cheaper for the networks to run a repeat or a reality show then to keep paying for a show that isn't bringing in money.

Re: Friday Night Lights show

Reunion getting canned last year really pissed me off, I thought that was a good show and for it never to resolve the murder sucked.

That was stupid as I was really enjoying this show. There were many young faces on this show that we had seen on other shows. I just wish they would have ended the series the right way.

If their going to cancel a show, don't cancel it with a few episodes left. FOX has a very bad habit of stringing us along the entire season only to wait till the final episodes of the season to cancel a show. That pisses me off.

FOX has cancelled shows in the last few years that my wife and I enjoyed, and we're very reluctant to watch shows on FOX for the fear that they will also be cancelled. Those shows were, Tru Calling, Reunion, Firefly, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr, and Point Pleasant.

It just irks me that we never got to see the ending to Point Pleasant or Reunion.

Back on topic, how is Friday Night Lights? I have missed the first 2 weeks and have to find a way to catch this show if it's good.

Good point but when have you seen a TV network cancel 3 of its 4 highest rated promoted new tv shows? Kidnapped, FNL, Heroes and Studio 60 were advertised all over the place and they already cancelled Kidnapped. Also, NBC is less ratings driven then before. Its the reason, the Office was able to hang around for a second season. Scrubs and Las Vegas are shows that never had killer ratings but are still around. Also, NBC doesnt have anything midseason except for the Black Donnelys that could improve its ratings.

With that said, I could see NBC moving Studio 60 to another night or timeslot. As for FNL, that could definetly be cannceled in the next few weeks.

At least Tru Calling aired till it's end. Like I said before, Reunion had no ending, so while it bothered me the show was cancelled, it was a train wreck from the beginning.

Is FNL on the verge of being cancelled? Is it any good?

It's good, but I give it 3 weeks tops till bye bye time.

If you liked the movie, you'll like this.

Re: Friday Night Lights show

Well Smith head a heavy dose of promotions and was canned after three weeks.CBS has the best shows and generates the most advertising dollars and was in a position to give it a chance, but they didn't.

NBC has finished third the past couple of years and have the least profit of the big four networks, so in reality they are in no position to give a struggling show a chance if it doesn't perform.They already panicked and moved Studio from Thursday's to Monday's before the fall season started.

Tuesday's at 10 might be a good choice since ABC is the only network airing original programming at this time.

That's why Smith wasn't on this week.
