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.

You watched Firefly, didn't you? Or Dark Angel? or Eureka? (Okay, well, the last one had kind of run its course.) I hope you don't watch Once Upon a Time or Doctor Who. They're the only fandoms I have left!
ReplyDeleteI'm Leigh from over at the AQC, by the by. Nice to meet you. I'm really enjoying your blog. :-)
Sorry about the late reply (very busy week). Thanks so much for the kind words - and for checking out my random posts! :-)
ReplyDeleteI do watch Doctor Who, but fear not! The longest-running sci-fi show in television history is about the only program I feel is safe from my Viewer Gaze of Annihilation :-)
Yes, I watched Firefly. And Dark Angel. And Eureka - but I only watched the first season on Netflix, which is what allowed it to continue for several more years ;-)
The other two are completely my fault.
