Default Hope you weren't into "Zero Hour" too much

Canceled after just 3 shows!

I actually had these 3 shows queued up on DVR. Sigh. Guess I can save time now.

I watched it once and liked it but at the same time I just knew it would not last so did not watch it again.

Glad I did not put more time into it.

A few years ago after having several of my shows get canceled while reality shows and other you-can-be-a-star-not-really shows continue on, I decided to not watch shows during their first season.

I made an exception for Last Resort but only after I found out they were going to actually end the show, rather than cancel it. No one likes to see shows they like get canceled, but the networks should at least have the decency to "end" the show or its story rather than simply leave everyone hanging.

I think that's what is leading to viewers' resistance to follow new shows. I know others I have talked to have said the same thing. They will not watch new shows at all until the second season starts. The networks don't realize that most viewers can accept shows being canceled, but canceling them without closure leads to mistrust and resentment.

That is why I am very glad to see cable networks starting to flourish in prime time. Let the networks have their reality shows 4 nights out of the week and help the cable networks continue to become bigger players! It's the worst strategy the major networks can follow, but as a viewer I am very glad they are doing it! Now if the music industry (record labels) would do something just as stupid, we could finally see an evolution that benefits the people there as well!

I remember this happening to Odyssey 5 on Showtime years ago too. LOVED that show. Then BOOM, canceled. Or maybe that was the Earth still being blown to bits

Well I am waiting for the new SyFy show Defiance as it looks like it might be a decent show...

I don't know why they even still attempt new shows these days. They should have to show a full season, no matter what. If the show is in question, don't produce it at all.

Good shows like zero hour, Alcatraz, Prime suspect, etc can't make it but Honey-Boo-Boo does?
