Episode Three: Addendum

This is just an addendum to Episode Three. I didn't actually proof that at all before posting.  It was a Facebook post done in a fit of passion and a great deal of worry that NBC would once again cancel a show that I thought should stay.  I know that it sounds self centered but I have very good taste and usually soon after I decide I like something it becomes popular.  I am waiting for a 1920's / 1950's fashion and home decor surge to prove my point.  It happened with the 1960's / 1970's style so I am hopeful. Anyway what I was saying in my post wasn't that television programs should be predictable, I was saying that the programing needed to be more regular.  That might not be a big difference to most people but the distinction is an important one.  In my humble opinion recent formula for programing is "lets keep all the garbage, reality, talent and game shows and get rid of anything scripted or even halfway entertaining usually without even allowing the program an entire season.  13 episodes is not enough to make a show a success and sometimes the "suits" will yank the show and replace it with dreck within a few weeks of the pilot.  If you gave NBC the chance they would cancel Dr. Who.
