Disbelief. Yes, that's EXACTLY what the groans were....

My dear Mr Wolf, were the experience to kill me, I would consider it a fine end and a life well-lived!

There was a classsic response in a old sci-fi book, when the hero was asked how would he like to die, by sword or by rope, the reply " I would perfer to die of old age and exhaustion after a night with a trio of young doxies!"

Oh my....

I do believe there's some more moaning in order!

I haven't been able to wean myself from Revolution. Looks like it pays off next week with the "big reveal" episode featuring a Led Zeppelin soundtrack. So ... there's that.

Thanks to you pervs, this thread is no longer safe for me to peruse at work.

On a side-note, ABC is not going to renew Last Resort. I watched the second episode and DVR'ed the rest. I had a feeling this would happen so I'm kind of glad I didn't get into it.

So, classroom issues huh?

I stopped watching both Last Resort and Revolution. I hear Resort got cancelled and Revolution is doing well. Glad I checked this thread at home!

Typical. The more realistic and better show gets cancelled. That's lowest-common-denominator programming for you. The theory that if you want the widest possible audience you have to dumb programs down as much as possible.

One of the problems with those really good and interesting shows is that they too often don't build up those huge fan bases until the shows have gone off the air and the fans don't see what they missed until the show enters syndication. Sometimes years after they are in syndication. Almost always, it's too late then.

True, but some of the smaller cable networks can produce niche shows that do quite well in the ratings- or at least well enough not to get cancelled after six episodes. AMC's got Mad Men and Breaking Bad and Walking Dead. FX has Sons of Anarchy. These aren't necessarily low-budget shows either. The major networks must need massive advertising revenues to stay afloat. Maybe they literally can't afford to be patient. I don't know.
