TV Show Rant Part 1
Considering one of my favorite tv shows may be canceled after this season, I think its time to talk about some issues. The Sarah Connor Chronicles, for those who don't know, is a contitnuation of the Terminator series (ignoring Terminator 3). Gracing some good reviews in its first season, it was granted a second season of 22 episodes but ever since the series premiered this fall, its been on the roller coaster ride to cancelation hell. First, the network wasn't going to order the last 10 episodes in the series and then once it did, it moved the series to Friday nights (which is apperently where old shows go to die). I know ther ratings might be slipping, but these networks have to remember one thing and that is with showss like this, you have to watch every episode or otherwise you are left out of the loop and lost forever. That is why many people either wait for reruns, watch episodes online (legally or otherwise), or just wait for the DVD release. Unfortunatly it seems like the networks don't really give a damn and sometimes good shows die (like Family Guy and Futurama did originally). Sometimes the networks just anger me to no end. They order more episodes of shows like The Simpsons (which I stopped watching 10 years ago, but cancel shows that are actually fascinating and that still have stories to give. Oh well, just have to hope otherwise.

I must admit that I have not seen the Terminator TV show before I get into saying anything here. I loved all three of the movies, but I do not anticipate the show being as good. I think the major flaw that is with this show, and my also befall the new film is the fact that you essentially do not have the Terminator in... the Terminator. What made those movies so great was the crazy terrible acting of the governator Arnold. I'm not sure, I may be wrong, but I did not hear anything about that show at all. Sometimes no news is good news, but in this case I can't believe that the principle still applies. Let It Be Known.
