Oh my lord dudes. I just watched the season finale of Flash Forward. it is hands down some of the best and most exciting TV that I have seen all year! And you know what? Flashforward got canceled. if it wasn’t canceled then I would recommend that anyone buy/rent/acquire the DVD’s and watch them. The show ends on one of the BEST cliffhangers ever. This cliffhanger made me WANT more so badly!!! it wasn’t like one of those cliffhangers where you’re just pissed off that you have to wait 3 months, it was good basic satisfaction of a lot of the issues that came up during the first season while setting up a hell of a story for season 2. When I tried to look up season 2 air dates and found out that this season finale was actually a SERIES finale I was crushed. I actually shed a tear.

As that tear was slowly rolling off of my extremely long and well formed eyelashes I thought “You know what? I think I am done with TV.” along the lines of that thought I think am going to watch the last season of Smallville and then Stargate Universe, until it gets canceled, because seemingly every show I like gets cancelled, and then I am done.

Here is a nice list of shows that I LOVED that got canceled too early

• Crusade
• Farscape (at least the eventually finished the story with a movie, even though scorpius’s makeup looked like crap)
• Firefly
• Sarah Connor Chronicles
• Defying Gravity
• Heroes (although it became sort of crappy but then they canceled it right when it was getting good again! go figure.)
• Flashforward
• V (seems like it is getting canceled so I am adding it!) As it turns out this one was not canceled
• I’m sure there’s more but I don’t feel like thinking anymore

I don’t understand how basically crap shows like Smallville, it is crap that I love, are still on air but the truly amazing shows with complex story lines that make you think and really look at things in a different way always get canceled. in the case of Smallville there were at least 4 seasons of just crap, pure and utter crap before things finally started to improve in season 8, and now season 9 is, compared to the other seasons, amazingly amazing. But even Smallville’s amazing season 9 doesn’t compare to any of the canceled shows on my list, except for V maybe. Gah I’m so sick of it!  Forget TV, from now on I will wait until everything gets to netflix, then I’ll know for sure that I am not gonna get screwed over with a cliffhangar.

eh I am so pissed off, I seriously feel like starting a TV boycott. I just don’t want to get excited about anymore TV shows that seem amazing because I don’t want to risk getting into a story only to have it be canceled.  So maybe just a boycot of NEW TV shows. We shall see how I feel tomorrow, maybe I’ll just go get an iPad and start buying books and reading them for 10 hours at a time.

And you know what? I wish I could just blame everything on greedy TV producers, but the reality of it is that if people were watching these shows would still be going strong. But the American Public doesn’t seem to like interesting shows, or maybe my tastes are weird, but either way these shows are canceled because nobody is watching them on TV even though I bet the more recent shows had the highest number of seeders on torrentreactor or piratebay. come on guys watch it on Hulu. And come on TV producers get more creative with your advertising, have you heard of product placement??? that works no matter where viewers get the content from.

Don’t think I didn’t notice all those Windows 7 product placements in the season finale of Smallville. And that, my friends, is why Smallville is still around. Eh Flashforward only had Palm product placements. Palm???

I’m so PISSED!!!! And yes I did create another level of the gripes category just for this post. Canceled TV shows are my GREATEST pet peeve. Maybe I’ll feel better about it tomorrow, doubt it.
