At the risk of sounding like Vito Corleone, it wasn't personal. It's just business. I think the premise scared a lot of people off, even though the show was fun and entertaining.
I know one or two out there will scream why Chuck and Community got pickups, but think of what they have to compete against: American Idol and Dancing With The Stars. To say nothing about CBS having some of their heavy hitters in those timeslots, too. (The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother) If you're pulling the same ratings, but your competition is a women-oriented soap and an older-skewing procedural, you need to do better numbers.
The cancellation bear caught up with a lot of shows this year, many of them I really enjoyed. Why isn't it full yet?! It's like some crazy radioactive superbear!
The only problem is, those shows did poorly even without the competition and Outsourced did just as well (just as poorly?) as Parks & Rec is doing in the post-Office slot.
Oh well, it got undeserved hate before it even premiered, then was shuttled off to the later timeslot. Things just didn't work in its favor despite being fun, fresh, and charming.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
FUCK YOU, NBC, and fuck the crappy new sitcoms with crappy synopses you picked up (Whitney, Vodka and such). THEY WILL FAIL.

ReplyDeleteAs sad as I am about it, a lot of the pilots look good, so yeah.
