Ok so no story tonight. Sorry but I didn’t have the time or mental power to come up with exactly what I want to do in the next part of the story, and since writing out the story ahead of time is against the rules you will all have to wait another day or two.
I did however come up with something to blog about, television shows that canceled too soon. Over the years there have been many television shows that I grew attached to because of their great stories and then before the story can continue the show gets canceled. This, to me, is a huge peeve. Although I’d have to say that the network most responsible for canceling shows way too soon is NBC. In just recent years shows like Journeyman, My Own Worst Enemy, and maybe even Knight Rider have been canceled by NBC. This pisses me off to the extreme because what do they put on instead of intelligent shows that actually require acting? Reality shows and Game shows.
It seems like every time I turn around one of the networks is putting on another reality show. The worst part is the fact that most of these reality shows are carbon copies of other reality shows but sometimes with celebrities instead of nobodies. It seems like ever since Survivor became a hit the networks have decided that they should pollute the airwaves with any kind of reality show they can think of. What the hell happened to TV that was enjoyable? Now don’t get me wrong there are a few reality shows that are actually good, shows like the juggernaut that is American Idol. The thing that gets me the most is I hear about all kinds of people that enjoy these shows and yet they still get canceled. The networks complain about ratings but yet they put these shows on at the same time as other shows that are guaranteed to win ratings.
The funny thing is this was all inspired by a show on Fox that is returning that is just the type of show I’m talking about. The show I am happy about the renewal of is Joss Weldon’s show Dollhouse with my favorite actress Eliza Dushku staring in it. However there is one show I’ve not heard anything about yet and I’m starting to think that it might not be coming back. That show is Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles. I have a little bit of hope though now that Dollhouse has been renewed. These two shows were Fox’s Friday night lineup and if one was picked up then the other one hopefully will follow right along with it.
Today’s Random Bachelor Card Dare of the Day is: “Convince two guys to slow dance together while you sing “Take My Breath Away.”
Considering some of the guys in our group I don’t think that finding two guys to slow dance with each other would be a big problem, however the singing part I’m not so sure of only because I can’t think of how that song goes right now. While I’m at it the Knight said that the next time we go to Ybor we are going to act the fool, well I think the next time we go I’ll bring my deck of cards and we can do some dares as a friendly little competition.
