NUTS to you CBS for canceling Jericho!

Television No Comments »

I’m not a huge fan of television in general. But I tend to really enjoy the few shows that I watch. Heroes, House, Battlestar Galactica, Lost, CSI and Jericho were my faves of the 06-07 season.

All of which will return next season… except for Jericho. I get so tired of the networks canceling quality television. All too often the shows I enjoy are the ones that get the boot. Why? Because the shows aren’t brainless. Because the shows ask something of the viewers. We remember though. We don’t let the networks get away with continuing to cancel our shows. Each time a great show is cancelled we’re less and less likely to allow the next great show to hold our attention.. I’ve been burned so often I expect to be disappointed and I’m less likely to tune in to a new show that I hear about. Eventually, these networks will realize they’re really screwing themselves over.

So what is CBS replacing Jericho with? Some silly reality show for pedo-voyeurs– 40 kids camping out in the desert without adult supervision. Nuts to you, CBS!

Showing CBS the same respect they’ve shown the fans– I’ll not be watching CSI, CSI: New York or any other CBS shows next season. That is, unless Jericho is renewed. Will my little protest matter? Perhaps not. But then again..

It’s My Turn To Be Somebody

Television No Comments »

Many different pilots from the new fall season have been “leaked”. One such pilot is from NBC’s Heroes. It’s an hour long sci-fi drama about ordinary people who discover they have superpowers. I watched the pilot and wow, it’s dangerously addictive. And I don’t necessarily mean that in a good way. It was great, truly fantastic even, but some people already have a hard enough time trying to be ordinary; this show is only going to drive that point home to them even more. Yeah, yeah.. it’s just a TV show.

Claire, after jumping from an 80ft tower:
“This is Claire Bennet and that was attempt number six.”

Hiro, regular Japanese worker, with a friend:
- “Why do you want to be different?!”
+ “Why do you want to be the same?!”
- “Because that’s what I am.”
- “The same.”
+ “It’s what we are.”
+ “Homogenous.”
+ “Yogurt.”
- “Yogurt?”
+ “You don’t understand. I want to be special.”
- “We are not special.”

Claire, to her mother at dinner:
“I walked through fire and I didn’t get burned.”

Heroes premieres Monday, September 25, at 8pm central.
