It’s called business. Reality shows are cheap to produce and people watch it. It’s a simply measure of profits.

Personally I think Rome is the best tv series I’ve ever watched and that only lasted 2 seasons… It also looked like one of the most expensive series I’ve ever watched. It’s not a coincidence that it didn’t last. If the networks got paid by the quality of their shows, then yes, we will have nothing but great shows. But until advertisers start paying based on quality instead of quantity, we will keep losing good shows for shows that still get viewers but cost less to make.

House is a great show too, Dr. House is hilarious.

I just started watching Monk and House last year and now I hear Monk’s last season is this summer. How long has Monk been on? And why is quality programming getting the axe while junk like American Idol continues?

ash ali,

i agree that they shouldnt show any emotion.

thats why Halibel and Ulquiorra are my favorite of the espada…well Grimmjow as well, but that b/c his behavior reminds me of my favorite character,Zaraki.

I’ve heard that in the next episode of Smallville

SPOILER

Lois shows everyone how honest and generous she is by making up a story (ie deliberately putting lies in the newspaper she works for) to advance her own career. I hate Lois episodes.

I, for one, am glad there isn’t a lot of anime on mainstream tv. But then again, I rarely watch any tv other than Discovery, History, TruTv, and stuff like that…

agreed on the anime front, damn shame that there isn’t more of it on mainstream TV and you have to go raid other sites for fansubs to get the latest and greatest.

while Bleach is good (despite the two TV related side story diversions) I still gotta say it’s hard to surpass what Cowboy BeBop did for the genre.

@ Matt K

Yeah, the fruity Arrancar was a tad disturbing. Not because of being fruity or whatever, it’s because he’s an Arrancar. I thought they were all super serious and emotionless. It was just weird. But I love Bleach, one of the best anime around.

Star Trek is either going to be huge and crush Terminator like a hydraulic press, or its going to be a mediocre bomb. I can’t wait to see what happens.

Big Doc Who fan, I have to watch the show on dvd however, I’m in the middle of season 3 of the new series.
^
Where were all you Fringe fans when “The Lone Gunmen” was burning in friday night FOX hell? Fringe is just a meh,total lift of X-Files/Lone Gunman.
^
So is Nimoy pulling off a Travolta comeback or what thanks to JJ. Lol
“Remember”.
^
And yep “24″ is kicking ars this season, and you can thank Brannon Braga (co exec producer Voyager) for that. Also Manny Coto from the prematurely cancelled “Enterprise”.

@ Manowar

“Was just pondering this one day. Has a movie ever hit #1 weekend box office, then slip down, and come back up to #1 again on another weekend?”

It hasn’t happened much in the last 10-15 years but it was commplace before movies were given these supersaturated and ultrasaturation theater counts.

E.T was number 1 for it’s first 7 weeks and then fell to #2 for a week then back to # 1 for 2 weeks then back to #2 for a weeks and then back to #1 for 2 weeks…cripers I’m getting dizzy..This type of thing was not common in the 70′s and 80′s but it wasn’t rare either..but you are also talking about a time when films played in far fewer theaters and a weekend gross of 6-11 million could win a weekend even in the middle of the summer season..

Cheers

I second that Castle is pretty great, I like Nathan Fillion, I didn’t like the girl at first but shes already grown on me, and his daughter is like the good balance to his bad side.

JMONEY, theres an example of something i want to know WTF happened. Haha. Your right there are bigger things that arent explained such as that. I was just sayin that i kinda just let go the little things, i mean its a fantasy world that we have no experience in. But with the bigger things, like the irish chick, yea they def drop the ball once in a while. And i think during that time period it happened alot more.

Psyko, i agree. The broken heroes thing is getting old, however, with Hiro, i think works because he isnt just bouncing through time making everything confusing. They found an escape hatch to get away from the confusion with that one. I do want to see peter get back to his roots. Sylar needs his “equal and opposite”. Im hoping we see it head towards this next week.

claire,

i watch “doctor who” every now and then

By: Claire

Claire — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 20:48:48 +0000

Does anyone watch Doctor Who on this site?

Also, what do you think is the likelihood of Dollhouse being cancelled? I’m a big Joss Whedon fan, he’s one of the best writers for TV in America. I say that because I watch mostly British TV.

ash ali,

i dont know, i was just trying to make a conversation lol, i was mostly just wondering what people thought about it, personally i was a little annoyed by the “fruity” arrancar and cant wait for the Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra fight.

I wanted to apologize to everyone for the spoilers. I really did say to much to soon and I will be more careful in the future. It just freaked me out about the centurion thing.
Heroes has improved the one writer returned(I can’t remember his name). Plus does anyone on this site watch Chuck? In my opinion it has better writing than Heroes. Hope they don’t move it to Friday nights!

@ Matt K

I’ve seen the most up-to-date episode of Bleach, 216. What about it?
