Did you guys ever touch on whether the show is succeeding? Is it doing well enough, or is it not getting the ratings?
EDIT:
Also, can you think of any other shows that "destroyed the fence" as it were, and then went on to become popular series after starting out with four or five weaker episodes?
Did any two firefly episodes get released in order? There were issues with them releasing the fist several episodes out of order as well. The pilot episode where the main characters all meet up on the ship aired as the third episode or something. That would have been confusing. And then there was another episode in there that was basically a recap of how the previous crew got on there...
It's no wonder audiences were confused as hell at that show.
Let's not reopen old wounds.
What has always amazed me is how often in TV retrospectives the cast and crew say they had no idea the show was canceled until it was reported in the news.
That's so cowardly, I can't conceive of it.
As a big fan of Studio 60, the back nine are almost stunning. It goes full retard wacky there for a little while, then Sorkin kind of whimpers, farts in his chair, and starts writing hostage situations again.
I like it too.
Other then Zoey Bartlette when did he go crazy with the hostage plot lines?
There were a couple other hostagey scenarios involving non-characters on The West Wing. Folks in Qatar and stuff.
*shrug* I really liked the Zoey plot, and the Tom's brother plot, so I'm not complaining. It's just like if Seth Macfarlane started up another new show, didn't know what to do after a while, and added Stewie. I like Stewie, so it works for me, but awwwwwwwwwww. *pinches cheek*
Ah fair enough. I know a couple of people who feel dislike the last few for being very Sorkin by numbers and yeah Danny says the same thing about Matt as Toby says about Sam in s4 of West Wing.
I kinda feel the same about this news show he's doing, It's a retreat but I like those things!
I watched an episode last night for the first time since the show started. What immediately jumped out was how awful the acting was. Not a single person in that family gave a good performance.
The A-plot involved the daughter meeting her anthropologist hero, who is NOT WHO HE APPEARS TO BE. The twist is so blatantly obvious that it pissed me off a little. They didn't even try to hide it. The daughter character gave the worst performance, but the writing was partially to blame. They had to stretch her realization out over days, when a normal person would have taken an hour to figure it out. Also, she uses technology that you need clearance for in broad daylight during the facility's work hours. GAH.
The B-plot is about the son being stupid and getting medicine for Sixers. Did I miss something? Why do the Sixers want to live outside Terra Nova? They're barely surviving! And the C-plot is about Stephen Lang going fishing and saving some guy from a Komodo dragon dinosaur.
I can't believe that this show actually has defenders.
He did say it was his first episode since the pilot. See, that's the problem with having continuity: casual viewers can't jump in unless you basically restate the premiss every episode (which some shows actually manage to do rather well).
My sister does that all the time at home, only half watching something then demanding to know what's up
