Why Do Network Execs Cancel Shows And Dub Themselves As A-Holes?!

Apr 29, 2010 21:01

I generally watch a fair amount of television. Usually shows that are still on the air. Of course I do have a soft spot for old British series ('Blackadder', 'Monty Python's Flying Circus', 'Fawlty Towers') but then again, who doesn't? I have been having a ST TNG marathon and have been very excited about it, but also found out about a show called ' ( Read more... )

They brought the original Star Trek back after the fans threw a huge fit back in the 60s. It was epic. :)

Are you serious?! I had no idea! After what season did they supposedly cancel it, do you know??

I have never seen any reactions from execs, at least nowadays to bring back shows which is quite disheartening...

Roswell. There was a fan campaign and it got another season because of that. I'm sure there are other examples.

Just when I decided to watch it because of Mr Spiner, they cancelled it. :(

He has the best singing voice! Did you watch "Out To Sea"?

Spiner is AMAZING! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!

I watched 'Out to Sea'! I bought it initialy because of the 'Odd Couple' pairing and was ecstating when I saw him in it! His voice is angelic! *sigh* *does squeeing fangirlie sounds*

I am ashamed to say that I noticed his voice in that movie, LOL.

Hahahaha! I actually bought that movie while I was living in the UK (I had/have an addiction of buying any crappy dvd I find) and when I watched it on my own was jumping up and down like an idiot screaming "OMG IT'S DATA! OMG IT'S DATA!". The man should really be cast into better movies as he is superb with accents and impersonations.
