I was reading a review of Star Trek that quoted
and it made me think, how many great series that aired years ago didn't start out so great, and in fact, borderline sucked, but TV back then allowed some shows a chance to find its legs and now a days many series w good potential fail or get cancelled because they fail to dazzle right out of the gate. Do people not understand that some of the best stories and series took time to properly develop and then peak into the great programmes they were remembered as. This rings esp true when <insert new show here> thread is peppered with 'this show sucks!' 'the last series was so much better!' 'how come they aren't showing <this> or <that>, its so boring!'
Am I the only one who thinks most of our current TV watching audience, esp of the younger generations have crap for attn span and if a show fails to impress right away, they write it off as garbage?
My favorite series is ?The Next Generation? but, had it been launched in today?s television climate it would have been cancelled mid season. End of story. It was during the second season that TNG found it?s footing.
