Fans of The Event and Hawaii 5 0

[ManMythLegend]

Both have been picked up for a full season, good news!

 

[bicker]

All I'll say about The Event is that "FlashForward also got picked up for a full season, last year."

ABC vs. NBC

Persons Unknown, Crusoe, Kings, Knight Rider, The Listener, Bionic Woman, Journeyman, Surface - all shows favored by fans of genre television - all shows killed within or just after their first season.

Fox, ABC and NBC are all the same in this regard.

I haven't watchd The Event yet (then again, I didn't watch Lost until after the first season!) but I'm having fun with Hawaii 5-0. But, I keep calling them Jin and Boomer. It's just habit, I think. I actually don't know if I even know what their real names are

The Event is really a good show. I'm becoming a real fan of it.

Knight Rider was really only a year???? Seemed a lot longer when I was a kid

I think the event is trying to hard to be another lost. If it lasts more than a couple seasons I may play catch up. Personally I hate getting invested in that sort of show then have it get cancelled, Jericho really annoyed me with that.

The knight rider when you were a kid, was a lot longer...the one a few years ago only last 1/2 a season or so.

Knight Rider lasted 17 episodes: September 24, 2008 – March 4, 2009.

But why are you bringing up shows that had basically no viewer? Persons Unknowns? LMAO.. that had less than no viewers.

The Event is one of NBC's highest rated shows right and NBC needs viewers, their programming is terrible.

The Event has only middling ratings. Some of the shows I listed did better in their time-slots than The Event is doing. It is getting soundly beaten by DWTS and Two and a Half Men. People shouldn't be happy about how few viewers The Event has. That leads to people being unhappy when their misunderstanding of the situation ends up with the surprise of the show being canceled.

The Event is expensive as compared to the other NBC programs. Yes, NBC's other drama programming is doing poorly, but that doesn't mean an expensive show like the Event is immune from cancellation.

If you read what I initially posted, I said it was good news for the fans of The Event and Hawaii 5 0. Then you hijack the thread and act like the grim reaper. How can you argue that getting a full season is not good news?

 

[bicker]

I'm not. I simply am warning against unbridled optimism, and provided balance to guard against that.

Trust me, I realize most network executives are idiots so I would never let my optimism get out of control. Trust me on that.

 

[bicker]

Actually, the reason to be concerned is that most network executives are brilliant, and responsible, both of which are bad news for us viewers, sometimes. Most network executives realize that what's enjoyable to some viewers may still be a bad financial investment, and they couldn't care less that viewers "should" be watching - if they're not watching, and there is a better investment for the money being spent on that programming, then they're quick to redirect that investment.

You should be a comedian.

No, I'm not very funny. I'm much too factual and rational to make up jokes. And I don't brook with silliness from others very well, so it would be very ugly when there are hecklers.
