Friday the 13th Killing Spree

On Friday the 13th many shows got canceled.

NBC kills, The Event,Law & Order: Los Angeles, Outsourced.
ABC kills ,Brothers & Sisters, V, No Ordinary Family, Detroit 1-8-7, Off the Map,Mr. Sunshine.

A few days ago Fox canceled,Lie To Me,The Chicago Code,Human Target,Traffic Light, and Breaking In.

OK lets start with Fox. The Chicago Code and Breaking In, will hurt to see these 2 shows go. There is one report that says Fox might be changing it mind about Breaking In, and might bring it back. I hope so. The Chicago Code was an excellent drama ,Jennifer Beals and the rest of the cast were great. I hope another network picks it up. It was time for Lie To Me to go. The show did not have any real direction. But I love Kelli Williams, well watch anything she is end. In a perfect world another network would pick up The Chicago Code and add Kelli Williams to the cast. Not sure what to say about Human Target, maybe it was time for the show to go. Most of the new shows coming to Fox sound like they are going to suck. Exit Strategy sounds like it might be good. After she was such a big hit on 24 as Renee Walker. I thought we would be seeing Annie Wersching in her own show on Fox. Still waiting for that to happen. Annie Wersching was in the pilot for Partners, but ABC said Friday that it would not pick up the show.

OK now ABC. Season 1 and 2 of V was just awful.  The season final of V was good. Everyone happy about the death of Tyler. I do not think there has ever been so much joy in the death of a person on a show. It looked like the show was going in a new direction. But I guess it was too little too late. No Ordinary Family, happy that it is gone. Never saw Brothers & Sisters, but everyone says it was a good show. I never saw Detroit 1-8-7, Off the Map,Mr. Sunshine.


OK now NBC. Was so much in love with The Event when it first started , but not so much now. It just moved along too slowly not enough information. Chase was always good. Hate to see it go. NBC should have gave Chase a second season. I don't watch any of the other shows on NBC.

Stargate Universe The New Coke

Stargate Universe Cancelled:
The series has 10 episodes remaining in its second season and Syfy will air these episodes as planned next Spring.

The fault lies not in our stars but in ourselves. -William Shakespeare

       Brad Wright would like people to believe SGU was cancelled due to some kind of conspiracy. By SG-1 fans, Stargate Atlantis fans, or maybe the C.I.A. . Executive producer and co-creator Brad Wright said - “I think getting moved on the schedule has hurt us. And the fact that some of the fans that liked SG-1 and Atlantis were so angry that they have deliberately hurt us, which is unfortunate.”


      It had nothing to do with a conspiracy by the fans. It had to do with one thing and one thing only. The fact that Brad Wright has his head stuck so far up his rear end, he is unable to see when he has made a mistake. Do you guys remember New Coke? Back in 1985 Coca-Cola changed the formula of Coke.  And everyone hated New Coke.  So what did the company do.  They admitted they made a mistake and returned to the original formula.

      Brad Wright changed the formula of Stargate, and the fans did not like the new  formula.  So what did Brad Wright do? Did he say OK I made a mistake and will change it back? No, he said the fans need to just shut up and watch  it.  He said , I do not need you guys, you are the wrong demographic .

      Not Stargate and not a good show .

      Stargate SG1 and Atlantis were both family friendly shows, SGU  is not. Many people were sitting with their kids to watch the first episode and got shocked by what they saw. SGU was less Sci-Fi  and more soap opera. With too much whose the baby 's daddy  drama. And Destiny’s true mission? Well it's just true far out there.

  The show being cancelled is no reflection on the cast and crew.

      Myself and many others  disliked some of the characters  of the show.  But not the actors  they played them. No love for Camille Wrayor or Chloe Armstrong. But great respect for the actors that played them. Both actors did a great job. But the storyline for there characters was just not there. And the people who created the Destiny ship did a great job.  And there are many cast and crew members whose name I do not know. All you guys did your job well.

       And if I my I would like to give a shout out.

      To Julia Benson aka 2nd Lt. Vanessa James and Jennifer Spence aka Dr. Lisa Park. You both have many fans out there. The  sex scenes  were too  too graphic for the show. But I know as actors you have no say in that.Vanessa James and Lisa Park are very welcome new members to the Stargate Family and hope to see you both again in the future.
