Those bastards!
ABC has apparently canceled Day Break (see the Zap2It story), giving me yet another free hour per week.
This makes the third show that I’ve enjoyed to get canceled this season without completing (the other two were Smith and Vanished). There really weren’t enough episodes of Smith that were shown to provide any indication whether it would be good or not. As for Vanished, that was the largest collection of horrible acting I have ever seen. Wooden actors delivering equally wooden dialog. Yet for some reason, I was hooked by the plot, which up until they killed off Agent Shelton, was rather predictable.
Apparently, Entertainment Weekly was right in their Fall TV Preview issue, when they proposed the question “Are TV audiences ready for this many serialized shows?” (OK, since I can’t find the article online, I’ll have to approximate the quote.) In case you haven’t guessed yet, the answer to that is “no”.
