Television is the bane of my existence. I was hooked on it as a small child and managed to break that horrible habit (for the most part) even to the point of only using my TV for Netflix and movies. Though even if I was hooked up into the idiot-network, there would be no point. Every damn show that I like seems to get cancelled.
While pop-culture shows, bad sitcoms and reality shows proliferate, the works that are truly original crash and burn. Those shows with the most originality tend to get the boot more often than not, leading to the cancellation of such greats as Firefly, Dollhouse and Carnivale. These shows were works of art, with complex characters, intriguing storylines and writing that didn’t look like it came from the mind of a drunken 4-year-old.
