I'm tired of network television canceling my shows
Another one bites the dust...so ABC canceled Ugly Betty...I've been a loyal fan for years now and now they're canceling another show I've enjoyed quite a bit...the forgotten. I'm really glad the forgotten had enough notice to be able to wrap up their ongoing story line about Alex's missing daughter in last night's episode though...it really sucks when they cancel shows mid season and there's no time to wrap up any story lines and it keeps you hanging...wondering what happened to that favorite character of yours or where would the writers have taken this story line...that happened with Studio 60 a few years ago. I'm not sure where I'm going with this blog post, except that I'm putting networks on notice...I am a 36 year old woman and I do not watch reality television but I do watch the majority of my shows on network television...if you're going to continue canceling the shows I do watch you're going to lose my viewership, end of story. I tend to follow through on using my consumerism to make my point--for example...I received atrocious service at a Denny's restaurant in 1997 and haven't set foot in another Denny's since then. I know it seems like a drop in the bucket...I mean Denny's doesn't know who I am...but they're also losing out on my business...I won't meet friends there, I won't suggest going there, and I certainly won't recommend them to anyone else. I guess my point is, I choose how to spend my time and money by being a conscious consumer and I hope others will join me. I also have hope for the future...that reality television will be a bygone fad along with wearing your pants around your knees...seriously? I don't want to see your boxers, pull up your pants!
