Jericho Cancelled

[paulxcook]

At least they gave it a chance. The Black Donnelleys was offed before it even got off the ground.

Yeah, I talked about this with a couple guys at work. It seems like they are pulling shows way too quickly. Many good shows in the past didn't pick up steam for a season or two.

SEARCH for JERICHO

Did you try to do that. Do it, come back here, apologize. Realize that the search function sucks here.

I just searched to make you happy. This is the search link I used. It is readily available to you at the top of this (OT) forum. You should enter the word 'Jericho' in the 'All of these words' box and leave everything else the same. Don't use the little quote thingies because it might confuse you. Then hit the Enter key or click on the 'Search!' button. Your results will be in front of you.

It's like magic!

Too many people blame the search being broken as an excuse to not search at all. And you are obviously one of those lazy ones.

Funny, because I did exactly what you said and it doesn't work. Pictars to follow, since I know you need them.

Now obviously, it doesn't work for me. It doesn't work for a lot of people. Perhaps it only works for you, because you are special.

I must be special.

Congrats. Perhaps, in your infinite specialness, you should realize that you should stop just blindly going around bashing people for not searching, because not everybody is as cool as you for some reason. We apologize for our laziness in not getting the search engine to work for us. Perhaps we should appeal to your higher power and PM you whenever we need a search performed and we cannot get the results ourselves.

In fact, that's what I will start doing now. Every time I need to find something, I'll PM you. Thanks in advance.

You're very welcome.

I don't always answer my PMs in a very timely manner so you should only PM me as a last resort.

CBS cancelled Jericho after one season, with so many questions left unanswered. It was an awesome show. I can't believe it. What fools!

Too close to Bush,s actual plan for USA breakup. Just to prevent impeachment.

Motherf*ckers :|

I am so sick of how the majority of good shows i start watching always get cancelled partway into their first season, at after it.

Ridiculousness...

Uhhh...yeah they do. They're called ratings. If a lot of people like a show, they watch it and it shows up in the ratings. If not a lot of people like a show, they don't watch it and that shows up in the ratings.

:roll:

Yet anecdotal evidence would indicate that many here have had one or several shows they enjoyed cancelled. Is this market group anomolous? Should it not be considered because of this?

I'm sorry, but the sample of the 500 or so people that read this forum at any given moment is not a real sample of popularity. Everyone has had a show that they've liked canceled at one time or another. Some of them have probably been really, really good shows.

The fact that a show is canceled sometimes has little to do with the quality of the show. Look at Arrested Development. It was winning Emmy's for best comedy and no one was watching it. Everyone was talking about what a great show it was, but still, no one watched it. Should they just keep making shows and losing money to please the few people that were actually watching the show?

Whoa, whoa... what are we talking about here? Quality of shows or the nielsen rating system?
I posit that the Nielsen rating system is an inaccurate measure of quality.
Advertisers look to the ratings as a measure of VIEWERS which equals, in thier eyes, income. Nielsens are no measure of quality, and are debatably meaningful as a measure of viewers, if you read into it. Television execs, do not care what people like, which was my original point, they care what generates income. Nielsen ratings as a measure of income are debatably accurate, but not n any way a meausre of what is likeable.

You're running in circles.

You didn't post that the Nielsen rating system is an inaccurate measure of quality. You said that TV execs have no idea what people like. My response was that they do and the Nielsen rating system for better or worse measures how many people are watching which shows.

TV execs don't care what people like, and I agree with that for the most part, but it was not what you said in your original point. You said that they don't know what people like. There's a big difference.

Nielsen ratings do not also measure income. They simply measure how many people are watching a particular show at a particular time. The more people who watch, the more they can charge for advertising.

If you don't want to be misunderstood in the future, maybe you should say what you mean the first time.

The moment I read someone's post a while ago saying what a great show it was, I checked out the synopsis and concluded it wouldn't last more than a season. The premise, while intriguing just has no mass market appeal.

Were you upset because I used the rolly-eye icon, or were you just having a bad day?

Stop over-analyzing, and being confrontational if you don't want to leave a sour impression. I can't help your inferences, and considering your attitude, don't entirely care if I'm understood by you.

From what I remember, the Nielson ratings only measure what particular families watch at a particular time. These are called "Nielson families" if I remember correctly. I have no idea how diverse this is, but that's where your ratings come from.

Also, I agree with the concept that TV execs aren't brainless. They know the shows they cancel will leave people disappointed. The point of cancelling a show isn't because 0 people are watching it, it's because not enough people are watching it to take up a time slot that could be used for a more popular show that'll bring in more advertising revenue.

My mom used to watch Jericho too, I guess just not enough people really watched it. Now what would be crazy, if shows like Heroes or House got cancelled.

WHAT THE HELL THEY CANCELED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF I LOVED THAT SHOW IT WAS WELL WRITTEN WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FSC&K YOU CBS!!!!

 

[Double Trouble]

TV execs know what people like from looking at the ratings. People who do watch Jericho seemed to hold the show in high regard, but the fact is that very few were watching it.

Bottom line, shows get cancelled because people are not watching them. It's really a perfect democracy where you vote with your remote. The shows people watch most are the ones that stay on TV.

I was just pointing out that you said one thing, which was completely ridiculous, and then you claimed that you said something else. Why don't you understand that?

Of course it was ridiculous, it was an off-hand comment, an edit of someone elses post.

I have understood that your literalist interpretation of a farcical 'comment' has created a misunderstanding, but it's not worth defending.
For the record:
Exec's don't care what people like, and the Nielsen's are not that great of a system for determining either what people like or what people are watching.

 

[Genx87]

Ratings for the most part were 5.0-5.5 with a 2.0-3.0 share.

/shrug

The season finale left so much out, it is a shame they didnt at least make a 2 hour finale to wrap it up. I am very intrigued at what unit is at Camp liberty and why the flag had 21 stars instead of 50, and why the stripes were vertical instead of horizontal.

CBS sucks anyways, this gives me another reason to steer clear of them.

Exactly. The networks aren't in business to provide quality entertainment anymore... they're in business to provide advertisers 30 second time slots with as many viewers as possible. That's why popular crap like American Idol gets 2 or 3 shows a week, and good shows with lower viewership like Jericho get canned.

I'm getting to the point where I'm going to stop watching new shows until they get to their 2nd or 3rd season. I'm sick of getting hooked on a series and then having it get canceled and never knowing how it was supposed to end. :|
