Why do television networks take risks on TV shows that are unlike anything else out there and then they refuse to promote it at all, they put it at a time slot that no one will watch it and then cancel it blaming the show for lack of support? I realize that was a massive run on sentence but I'm pissed. My favorite show, Legend of the Seeker has been canceled. They put it on in the middle of the night and never promoted it. Don't networks realize that if you put something on at a decent time and promote it, you will have fans?
Die hard fans who will stick with you through it all, think Buffy. There are so many shows that are exactly like everything else out there that it is disappointing. I loved the fact that there was something different on TV for a change.
I am one of those people who only likes shows with good characters. People who care about others and try to help. Kahlan, Richard and Zedd were like that. Cara too, though she would kick your ass for saying she cared. They all put their lives on the line every show for other people. They have risked death countless times in order to save one person. Kahlan and Richard are deeply in love and have had three chances to be together forever but each time they give up that chance to help someone else. They are the type of people we want as role models for our children and the next generation.
So instead of keeping wonderful role models and strong, independent women, we will cancel that for yet another reality show. Sometimes you really have to wonder what the fuck people are thinking. Too many people only care about lining their pockets instead of doing what is right and being a role model.
I am pissed as you can tell and will get off my soap box now, but just think about it. What is popular on TV is showing the next generation what is important to us. What message do you want your kids to have?
