I wouldn’t say Bojack Horseman ended on a cliffhanger. It just ended on a bittersweet note that left a lot of discourse among the audience, but that’s the whole point. I’d wish for the best for Bojack as a character, but let’s be honest, he’s done enough unforgivable shit to deserve the worst.
True. The second season actually felt like the Tick, but the tonal clash of the first season might have driven too many long-time fans away, unfortunately
I like quirky shows. Usually when I’m watching something and it’s particularly odd, I’ll think “well this won’t last another season”. And I’m
usually right.
Me every time they make another season of young justice, I loved that show and they just can’t seem to give it an end without teasing that will be a season that might not ever happen
A lesson to never start a show when it’s new - which sadly and ironically leads to a lack of new shows - so just watch original Star Trek - it’s got everything you need anyways :)
"There were comics afterwards"
"Okay!"
"Multiple runs. No one can agree which are and which aren't canon."
"Which do you think?"
"Looking back, they were all bad. . ."
Horrible idea and I can prove it. Stargate Universe - Season 1 was really good. It got cancelled but they gave it a second season first. It took a planned out, long term story, and changed and compressed it into a season of crappy episodes trying to tell a large story in a few episodes.
With no season 2, I would have been disappointed, by the lack of quality episodes instead of the number of bad ones. I think that's preferable to me, but maybe not. Is it better if your dog runs away than if it gets run over in front of your house?
I think your memory is a little foggy. Season 1 was awful; full of long drawn out scenarios with nothing happening. Season 2 was when it actually started feeling like something was happening.
Week after week watching thre latest episode of Sarah Connor Chronicles, my husband and I would say, "This was supposed to suck!" That show was 10 times better than we ever expected it to be.
Probably not. Congress and the President are supposed to wrote the tax code together, and I doubt Congress would approve of me taking swings at billionaire donors.
But we also don't want studios getting in the habit of making films then immediately declaring some legally carved-out variant of "technically public domain" so they can avoid paying residuals.
True, though it would be hard to make money then. I'd make it so they have to turn over a copy to the Library of Congress who then puts it out for anyone to take. At least then no one is making anything at that point.
Any intellectual property that is written off should be considered legally worthless and released, or else the company has to pay double its profits from that IP in taxes if they ever do release it.
I hate when a show I'm into suddenly gets canceled. This show called The Mick had the oldest daughter get struck by lightning and LITERALLY left the poor kid in a coma forever because it didn't get renewed. Yeah, the girl was a little snot rag but she didn't deserve that, man!
the sad fact of a lot of tv shows, no plan to wrap things up before they get canned because they don't think that far ahead, instead leaving people with unresolved stories. Personally i think that if your going to write a long running story you should have a plan for if you get canned
That doesn't work, especially if you want a coherent story, depending on what the story is, or were planning for 2 seasons but get cancelled after only 1.
it depends, if they get canned after the season wraps thats understandable they didn't know but when you know the end is coming then there is a need to wrap things up and make things die up in some way, a lot of shows know its coming and do nothing which is what that comic is saying
Oh heck this hits way too close to home for me. Darkwing Duck, Infinity Train, Hailey's On It - there's just too many examples of stuff I loved that never got a proper conclusion or the full story they'd planned to tell!
Anyone remember Lie to Me? Yeah this was me. They just ended it without the two main characters getting together, just the daughter asking her dad "do you love her?" "so why don't you go to her?"
once you understand this kind of behavior, you see it absolutely everywhere. Dating, taxes, retail. might make you want to be a communist, until you realize people do it within family units as well; it's base human nature that cannot be eliminated, only worked around.
I'll never forgive Fox, but also, Joss Whedon's writing it turns out is kind of very not good? Like I think the Firefly could have been will always be better than what would have been, and I'm glad, in retrospect, the show never let us find that out first hand.
Big shout out to Brandon Sanderson for completing the "Wheel of Time" 14 book series after Robert Jordan died. Let's hope Prime doesn't cancel the live action version!
This is interesting because I always heard that LOST was the one show that they already knew when it would end and they had it all planned out, and was renewed up to that point because of its success. So this feels more like “bonus content didn’t happen” than a true cancellation.
It was years ago I honestly can't remember. The clips were mostly filmed along side the show, during other dharma scenes, with most of them being from the last season. They also had uncut versions of each of the stations training tapes as the intro to the episodes.
It was done with the intention of it being an DVD exclusive(HD or blu ray?) But then when the final season didn't do well the studio didn't wanna put the money into editing the last season together. The creators said that they still have the footage and might do an anniversary one day

Also good business: a complete saga is much more attractive to viewers and thus more saleable to other markets.
Interesting case anyway, in that the Stargate movie was garbage, but the spin-off shows were great fun.
Shounen yo shinwa ni nare
I need to know!
Because if the public paid for it, the public should own it.
You can't even find it on Disney+ anymore
networks cancel 80% of shows prematurely because they only want to invest in the most lucrative ones.
television writers use cliffhangers to Astroturf fan campaigns to renew shows, because they understand networks.

What we *do* know is horrific and would've ruined what the show built.
Fuck Joss Whedon with a pile of pinecones
The former of which was the one I was directly referencing.

The rest, not so much.
Fuck, I only ever knew the guy's weirdness abstractly since I'm not too big on celebrities.
Made me happy that Firefly ended when it did, at the least. I'll take the closure, at least :/
And damn if that ain't a fair description

I also NEED answers about the teen show, Twisted. I wonder if @avanjogia.bsky.social knows what was gonna happen.
Now I wait until a Season Two is announced.
