The fucktards at Fox cancelled John Doe while I was away and confirmed that Firefly is dead and buried. I hope the Fox execs don’t ever bring out another science fiction-ish series that is serial rather than episodic because I sure as hell won’t be watching and will be suggesting to others they avoid it as well because I’m sick and tired of getting caught up in a cool mythologies, stories and characters only to have them disappear far too soon. The way studios are handling series these days, I can just wait for the third or fourth season and some cable network will let me catch up once I know there’ll be enough to make it worth my while.
The new show Jake 2.0 coming on UPN in the Fall is a good example. Certainly sounds like the kind of series that I’d enjoy but also seems aas likely to succeed as, say, Seven Days and so I’ll just wait. Maybe Jake will get renewed and I’ll catch up over the Summer repeats, maybe I’ll wait and see. But I don’t expect to be watching when it first comes on.
