Fuck you FOX

[lodessa]

FOX was actually starting to get on my good side recently. They didn't cancel Bones when we expected them to. Then there was the announcement of the Dollhouse deal. I was feeling their reform. But now they have announced that they are moving Bones to Friday. FRIDAY! Seriously. They just lost all of the points they might have gained over the last few years.

Wow... that's neat. But on the bright side, Heroes may be ending early due to the writers strike, they may be ending for the season at the end of this year.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Honestly a lot of shows may be doing that. I don't much mind because I have enough already aired tv stockpiled to last me a lifetime.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but most of them have scripts written out and are just hoping that it will end before they run out of scripts (from what I can tell), Heroes is the first on I have heard about actually ending the season early.

I know what you mean about backed up shows, I have been busy the last two tuesdays and so I have been watching House and Bones on the website and House had been a week behind, but now it is two weeks behind, very annoying there. But at least I get to watch this weeks Bones today ^__^

Basically when the midseason break should be ending is when the networks will start to feel the pressure. If they were smart they'd negotiate before then but probably they will wait till it starts to hurt.

I have whole series stockpiled.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably, and this means things like Dollhouse will be on hold until the settle, which is worrying, because I am looking forward to hearing what is going to happen with that.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it's honestly in a better position that shows which have already started that are new this season and have iffy ratings, which will probably never come back.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly, Moonlight has yet to get a full season pick up, and I was sure there was another new show that hadn't gotten it yet, that I watch, but they are ABC shows, so I am not sure whether they got them or not. But some shows have so much stuff written already, like ABC's Men In Tress, which has 19 out of 27 shows already scripted.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Why the hell does it have 27 episodes in the first place?

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Because they never did five of the episodes from last season, the season just ended early, SO this season is those last five episodes, followed by this seasons 22 episodes.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

ABC is weird. I know they did that with GA but I thought that was because it was such a surprising success.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Really? I thought it was just that since it was a mid-season replacement it only got 13 episodes? As far as I know Men In Tress was on from the beginning and then they just stopped airing it, I never figured out why they did that, but since they added the episodes to season 2, I don't mind at all.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

GA was a midseason replacement, but it only got 9 episodes aired in season 1 not 12 for some reason.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Huh, wierd.

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Yeah. And then the second season was like 29 episodes long.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, then, at least they made up for the short season one

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

You do? I thought you watched Bones live??

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean Bones (which I do watch live or Tivoed and the Thursday following).

I meant I have whole series I want to watch but haven't (The X-Files, Farscape, Babylon 5, Sports Night, Spaced, Deadwood, The Wire... to name a few)

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Wow.... Babylon 5 was great, I am still meaning to watch Deadwood, and I want to re-watch Sports Night, because my mom and I used to watch it when I was little, but that was so long ago I don't really remember it

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Yeah I've heard that Babylon 5 wins for actually being a preplanned story from the beginning to end and the DVDs are sitting in my living room but I haven't had time to watch them.

There's also a lot of shows I am a season behind on, like Big Love and I still haven't watched Rome Season 2 or any Torchwood.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

I really really want to see Big Love, but I haven't been able to yet, that's a bit annoying. I haven't seen B5 since it ended, so I don't remember it as well as I should, but I do remember it was great ^__^

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

I have season 1 of Big Love and thought it was really good, but have yet to see season 2. It's sort of weird how many VM cast members are in it.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they got Cassidy, Mac, and Lilly. Lilly was half the reason I wanted to see it, Mac was what convinced me I had to see it ^__^

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

Also the fact that the two of them are totally in love.

[silver-fic.livejournal.com]

I need to see more of them ^__^ I have only seen clips of the two of them interacting from their first three episodes together (I tihnk) I need to see more

[lodessa.livejournal.com]

It's totally cute.
