.... must be because it's a summer show. I want to like it, I really do but it comes off as being made up as it goes along. I know it's a paycheck but aren't the actors concerned about doing irreparable damage to their careers? I wonder how a 3rd-grade production goes on while a quality show like 'Revolution' gets the ax.
(Ok domers.... let me have it.)
Dome gets more downloads at Amazon than any other series on that service.
shareUmm...wow. It has a cult-like following...for sure. They do have a good cast and, I admit, like a train wreck... I tune in occasionally.
shareIt's like Barney for pre-teens...people are using it to babysit their 10 year olds.
There is no mind...the body just has built-in delusions of grandeur.
Cheap.
No costs for writers or actors.
Everyone are probably unpaid interns.
Perhaps they got tons of old typewriters for a song, and monkeys from circuses that closed down.
I think you're probably very accurate on your comment.
shareThey have some kind of overseas deal plus amazon. There are other reasons,just can't remember them but I do remember it's profitable for CBS
Grands...Glad to see you come and glad to see you go
Yeah Amazon basically owns this show, and even by itself it still gets decent viewership for a summer show.
If you don't want to be spoiled, you shouldn't be here in the first place.
How does crap like this get renewed, but the following gets cancelled? This better recieve thr same fate. If this gets a fourth season, i will be irate
shareBecause The Following is even crappier than this.
shareSurely you must be kidding. The following isnt great or anything, but the first season alone is by far better than the entire series run of this garbage. May i have some of what your smoking?
shareI think you're smoking enough for the both of us.
shareFine then, enjoy watching your make believe science fiction vomit. Since you love to defend under tge dome so much. Im sorry i made fun of your favorite show.

I've only seen a few scenes from both shows and they seem to suck equally to me so I turn them off.
shareThat may be true, but no two shows really suck equally. At least the following has a recognizable movie star in it. Under the dome just has a bunch of actors no ones heard of. I take pity on packersfan for enjoying UTD more.
shareI take pity on you for liking The Following.
My above post was written without me seeing any second of The Following.
If someone can argue that Under The Dome was a better show than The Following then The Following must have sukked hairy ba//s as well..... Because Under The Dome stunk like a frat dudes shh/t after eating $25 worth of Taco Bell after doing 12 keg stands and 10 shots of jaeger bombs.
Have an enjoyable day.

A whole town full of people I don't like (practically) I just want to know what happens, what is the dome? I'll watch
until I know.
in a nut shell... i keep watching because i want to actually know what the dome is. but everybody on the show is either hella irritating or just plain dumb.
sharewhat is the dome? I'll watch until I know.
Admire the optimism of viewers expecting an real explanation from a Steven King fantasy/ supernatural story line, good luck with that one. More chance of getting a comprehensive explanation for lost.
Anyone who still has faith in humanity has never been to the imdb boards.
Some people seem to have strong feelings about this show. I always thought it was folly to argue taste.
shareActually, I read something that said that Stephen King was upset with the "writers" of the show because they changed the story from his book. I wouldn't know since I haven't read it and most likely never will, but I would say that anyone who likes the idea of the show, but is sick of the bad acting and dragging storyline should just read the book. That's how they'll get you, by dragging out the mystery. If you want to know, read the book, since I'm sure it's written much better. I don't see how it could be any worse.

With the good ratings, Under The Dome was renewed again and again.
You might question the audience's intelligence. But no doubt the viewers love it!
As I've said before, I don't give a damn about the story not following that of the book. I read the book and I know the story. This was never meant to be 100% true to the story and Mr. King has said that himself. No one ruined his book. If you don't like the show, don't watch it. If the show is renewed, then it's profitable enough to keep it going. I will take anything, even remotely related to King, good or bad, just because I don't care. I can sit and watch meaningful and deep films 24/7 but from time to time I need to relax. I dislike so many series and films, but I don't find it productive to come on these boards and give my opinion about them. No one cares and it's simply a waste of everyone's time.
SGU was cancelled and it was a damn good show. Why hard-core sci-fi fans disliked it? Because it wasn't happy and relaxing. Go figure.
Hard core sci fi fan here and I was highly annoyed when 'Universe' was cancelled for any one of a number of reasons. UTD simply leaves one in jaw dropping amazement in its stupidity and poor execution.

Since the beginning of the 3rd season, that was its only quality - topping up the stupidity from the previous episode, which was done brilliantly... and of course I will always like Big Jim. I didn't mind watching show, I knew it wasn't going to win awards anytime soon and my expectations were low. Maybe that's why I found it relaxing to watch.
