If I regularly watch a show, it will be canceled.
It's not a question of if, but when.
It could be a show about cops who moonlight as naval lawyers who like to go dancing with the stars on the Jersey shore after proving they've got talent, and it would still get the axe the instant I start watching.
Is it because my taste in entertainment is 180 degrees off of what everyone else seems to like? Or perhaps I have a bizarre X-Men-like ability to affect TV ratings with the power of my eyes? For some reason I'm guessing the former, but I still wonder what my mutant name might be ("Cancellation Chick"? "Neilsonetta"? "Something a lot Cooler than the Lame Things I'm Coming Up with Right Now"?).
I may have stumbled upon an unexpected source of income, however - if you have a TV show on the air, and you want to pay me not to watch your show, it would probably be in your best interests.
If you decide to just take your chances, be warned: I have my Remote Control of Doom...and I'm not afraid to use it.
