The good shows get canceled

Everytime I get interested in a show it get's canceled. This is precisely why I stopped watching television. The Nowhere Man (UPN 1994) was canceled after it's season cliffhanger. Drew Carey's Green Screen (FOX 2005) canceled after 5 episodes. Nightmare Cafe (ABC 1995 ?) ran 6 episodes. When I found out that the "air headed" British actor Hugh Laurie had been staring in an American based television show I had to watch it (NBC 2005 - Current). So my T.V. was on one time a week. Later I fell in with Jericho (CBS 2006-2007), my T.V. was on 2 days a week. I guess it's back to the Discovery Science Channel for me.

Where is the off the wall Monty Python style of humor when the world needs it!

This series was make for overly analytical person's like myself. Somehow believeing that everything can be explained logically. In entertainment the laws of the universe never have to apply and seldom do. Stories have one of 5 common elements, Man VS Man, Man VS God, Man VS Nature, Man VS Self, and Man VS Society. Here not only do you have all 5, but it attemps to create an element of it's own, perhaps Man vs Logic. Twin peaks was quite a good show. I first saw the prequel movie "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me". It wasn't until about 10 years later I rented the series from Netflix. After I watched the first episode I was hooked. Follwing my completion of the first season I couldn't believe that such a surreal and infiniate series could have been canceled, that's where the second season came into play. The second season was extremely overplayed, more forced, and less surreal. Revealing one more piece of the puzzle after the other nothing was left to the imagination and the earlier feelings of association and intense agrivation withered. I can see why it was canceled durring it's second season.

If you want to see Twin Peaks at it's best don't watch the second season it ruins the series.

I guess a show that is nothing to the extreme, would continue to be nothing to the extreme. Billing itself as a 3D episode it would have made some sense to make some attempt to make sense of nonsense. I guess rationality would not have been really justified...really!

After Boo plays one too many pranks the group decided to teach him a lesson and all pretend to be zombies. Not realising he's been set up, Boo attemps to use Mac to escape this zombie filled mansion. His engenious plan requires candy feeding Mac. Quickly Mac, in a sugar fueled rampage, ends up whiping out all the zombies. To Boo's horror he finds they were not zombies after all...ooops!

This show was great! The show went promptly along going forward at breakneck speed and then stopped dead in it's tracks after FOX introduced a format change in episode 3.

At this juncture the shows slow speed may ruin it, if it hasn't already. The current idea of eliminating one person each week is boring, this could have been done in an entire episode thus allowing more time to see the creativity of the contestants.

Unfortunately I am hooked on it and will be forced to endure this latest elimination phase. Hopefully their's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
