yeah, jacob, that's troo... iwasn't too impressed with the last season of the Buffster. Actually, it started sliding a little after the end of season 3 - probably because there was more focus on Angel. Oh well.
I just wish they'd air the show when it's supposed to be aired! Stoopid UPN! That's not the only show they've done that to, either. They bastardize every show they buy. As if good shows don't have enough competition, now they have to fight for their own timeslot on the very network that owns them??? What is UPN thinking???
Sadly, i see a trend appearing.
1: lots and lots of reality shows - cheap and they make the networks money, easy to sensationalize, and by the time you realize you've wasted your time watching it, it's over and they're on to the next flavor of the week reality show.
2: lots of new shows cancelled during their first season. It's cheaper to buy a fledgling show and cancel it in the first season than to support a popular show which earns more money with longevity. And they still get their viewership, because they can promote the hell out of these new shows, and people will give them a chance. So they still get watched.
Now some shows deserve to be cancelled - like Birds of Prey (sorry to anyone who liked it, but man i just had a severe distaste for that show!) Or anything by Spelling Television. (I have to admit i've watched a few eps of Charmed and kinda liked them, but it wasn't clever TV...)
hmm.. guess i'm done ranting now...
