Do You Think That Television Shows Are Beieng Canceled Too Soon?

Over the years there have been many shows that I thought were cancelled too soon. I really don't think the Internet has affected this much one way or the other. I am a Bones fan but never got into watching Finder; I only saw the partial one that was when it was started in a Bones episode. I really missed Bones while it was off because Emily Deshanel was on maternity leave. Shows that I thought were cancelled too soon were Fastforward, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Tru Calling, Wonderfalls, Stargate: Universe, Dark Angel and many more.

Actually, internet watching counts for the ratings if you watch within a few days after the show airs like my daughter and I do when we can't watch the live airing. She works in the evening on Tuesdays, so we tape the shows to see later.

I'm not sure how I missed this discussion for so long since I was a big fan of "The Finder" and I'm STILL disgusted they canceled it so soon without giving it a fair chance. To begin with, they gave it a decent time slot but then within a few weeks they moved it to the Friday night "graveyard"; I had a feeling then it was doomed. I really like Geoff Stults a lot and I can't figure out why he's had such bad luck with TV series. He's not 0-3 with "October Road", "Happy Town" and now "The Finder". I'm still burning about them canceling "October Road" without even giving it an ending! The last episode that ran left EVERYTHING totally up in the air and unsolved. I don't understand why ABC canceled that show since it seemed like everyone I knew watched it and loved it. There have been too many shows I've liked a lot that have gotten canceled too soon for me to list on one discussion! I already mentioned the three Geoff Stults series, then there was "Mercy", which ended on a HUGE cliffhanger, "The Event", "V", "Jericho" and "Flashforward". It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid to get interested in regular network shows since every one I get hooked on seems to get canceled. The cable channels seem to give shows more time to gain an audience, which is how it should be. Lots of past HUGE hits started out slowly but gained popularity as time went on. With today's attitude "Seinfeld" wouldn't have made it through one season. I don't know how they get their ratings numbers in this day and age, what with the internet and DVRs. I know I almost never watch a show when it's aired because I wait so I can fast-forward through the commercials, which I know is probably one reason the powers that be really don't much give a crap what I like, right?

A lot of shows that i watched got canceled too soon, i think one reason is the internet, since some viewers just watch it there.. I think that was the reason "10 things i hate about you" was canceled- that was a really cool show.
