Coffee Table Declarations
Friday, March 05, 2004
One of my favorite tv shows is Boston Public. I enjoy coming home on Friday evening and relaxing with my line up of shows (Joan of Arcadia and Boston Public). However, BP hasn't been on in several weeks and I have felt so lost and confused. Last night, my mother (a fellow fan) told me some troubling news. She heard that BP has been cancelled.
What is wrong with tv decision makers that they would just cancel a show right in the middle of the season like that with no closure? Oh were the ratings not good enough? So, what, the people that do watch and like the show don't matter? They just let us become involved with these characters, enmeshed in these plot twists, and then... nothing. What, do they want to clear the way for more stupid reality shows? What is happening to the quality of entertainment in our society? Is it so much to ask to have my Friday night Boston Public? I work hard all week. I'm from Boston for goodness sake. Why can't I have this one show I like more than all others? It's just not fair.
