- Kill Kittens
- Stop watching NBC for the rest of my Life.
- Kill More Kittens
Whoever is in charge of making these decisions...I want their job. I would be so much better at it.
Canceling shows is a necessary evil for all TV shows. From M*A*S*H to ER, it happens eventually. Even Monday Night Football was canceled on ABC in order to move to it's sister network, ESPN.
However, if I was a network, I would be much more transparent with the whole process. Just because a show has ONLY 6.3 million weekly viewers, that doesn't mean that it only has 6.3 million fans. Most of the television I watch is online, and I would love to see more of the ratings system accommodate the millions of people that use recorded TV like Tivo, and online TV like Hulu.
I was reading an article the other day about ER and how "big" their finale wasn't. Who gives a crap if it ONLY had 15 million viewers. There's probably double that amount that watched it online sometime that week.
ugh.
