| Control of Viewing
one of my all time pet peeves is shows being cancelled just when i'm starting to enjoy them. so many have fallen by the wayside, good sci-fi, while total rubish seems to be able t keep going for years...till recently that is. it seems that now viewers are taking more control over what they want to see, and are starting to make things happen, i can think of two examples off the top of my head:
firefly - now a motion piture
jericho - extended to a half season past it's cancellation date
because of fan interest and online pressure groups. does this mean that viewers are finally starting to have a say in what goes on out there (if so about damn time)? How much influence should viewers, not 'ratings' have on program making? |
