Yeah, I don't get this whole rating thing.0 How do they get their numbers? Because I sure as hell never got a box in my house telling them my viewings habits.
Studio 60 got canned. That was brilliant. A few years ago, that show called Now and Again, that was a gem. Beautiful writing. But not enough swearing, I think. 
do.

I think Studio 60 got canned because they advertised it too much. I loved it, and it's a shame NBC decided to take it off the air instead of giving it a chance. Bastards. *shakes fist*

Invasion:
ABC President Steve McPherson answers
"What happened with it, it was up to the TV gods. Shaun continued to improve that show there were some brilliant performances in it. But we just couldn't get people to watch it. It was really down to the wire and it was a difficult decision."
Studio 60:
Studio 60 returns May 24
Posted Apr 27th 2007 4:02PM by Bob Sassone
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip returns to the NBC schedule on May 24, presumably to just run the rest of the episodes they have filmed. Hopefully they knew they were ending early while filming so they can end the show in a good way.
From this article:
The series, about the behind-the-scenes machinations of a television sketch show not unlike "Saturday Night Live," was pulled a week earlier than expected after its season-worst ratings performance. It's unlikely to be renewed for a second season. And if "Studio 60" comes back to finish its six remaining episodes, it will have everything to do with the respect accorded Sorkin and nothing to do with a last-ditch effort to save it.
What to think of Dark Skies, Odyssee 5? Wonderfalls, I love that show  Dead like me, also a promising show, two seasons.

And Firefly.
If I were clever, I wouldn't even watch a show in its first season, just in case the execs decided to nix it. However, Heroes drew me in. I don't think they'll cancel it anytime soon, but if they did I'd be just devestated.
What was this thread about originally? Huh. |

Thanks for the interview link though.

Or if you just use a proxy in the states - ahem.
But they'll be available eventually. Mini-DVD set that will either be available here or, if they're stupid and don't actually sell in Australia, then we'll find it.

I don't know why they're doing this but the first site I came across way back when that decided to put up 'borders' was Showtime. So anything to do with Brotherhood, if you want to check out their site for info, you can't unless you can hide where your ISP is based and fake a US one. It's totally ridiculous and goes against the whole concept of the WORLD WIDE web but there you go. Now, obviously Fox has joined in and I think there's one in the UK that does the same.
What purpose it serves? Probably keeping secrets and spoilers away from people in countries that aren't showing the show yet. But I doubt that since a wide ban. And anyway, if you want to see the thing you'll find it on torrent anyway.
do.
