[QUOTE="Look_a_Unicorn, post: 1026431, member: 11886"] <mild rant!> It seems that that it is just far more productive to churn out mindless reality TV shows and teenie dramas that titillate the most common denominator than it does to create truly interesting, new TV- or even continue old favourites with an enthusiastic fanbase. (by that I mean MY old favourites :) ) I know I'm simplifying hugely, but from my POV: Farscape has been axed. Futurama has been axed. Family Guy has been axed. Scrubs is axed. Buffy & Angel aren't on until 10pm & I have to work mornings. Firefly wasn't even shown. Stargate was going to be axed, but now isn't YAY. That means that on Oz TV, the only good things shown at a decent hour coming over from the US are the Simpsons & South Park Is there some conspiracy out there to either a) make me watch television or b) (much more evilly) make me sit down & watch Big Brother to get my hour of vegetating per week *vomits, looks at tv guide, vomits again*. <end rant> And I am terribly sorry if Eric Noah's grandmother is offended by mention of Big Brother.
