No wonder this has been canceled...


With episodes being postponed/rescheduled, and the show being on only every other week (at least lately), how did they expect it to gain an audience??? The scheduling for this show baffles me. And now they are planning the two-hour finale for Saturday night? Some people who have stuck with the show this long are bound to miss it because they've changed the night at the last minute...

You have 6 days to set up your TiVo, or of course you can watch it on line.

With On Demand and DVR's you can set to record it. I won't be home either so i'll watch On Demand.

I'll be home and can watch as it airs, but I'm just saying that some folks won't realize it aired on Saturday until they are looking for it on Sunday and don't find it... Hope they have On Demand.

The first 8 episodes aired on 8 successive weeks, by the time NBC started messing with the schedule the decision to cancel the show was likely made already.

I am fortunate enough to have numerous ways to watch it. The point I was making is that showing it so intermittently is likely to make regular viewers forget about it or miss it from time to time. As in, "Oh gee, is that show actually ON this week for a change? I totally forgot because it is scheduled so irregularly".

Many people do not bother with DVR, etc, and will actually just turn on their television at the appointed time each week expecting to see the show that is usually in that time slot. Old-fashioned, yes, but some people still do that.

if you are one of those cheap or poor people who watch OTA that is your loss not finding a way not to miss a episode

As for people who are too poor to find alternate viewing methods, how would that be their fault??? What, should they skip groceries or rent in order to pay for some alternate method to catch "Crisis"?

Really? So it can't be simply common sense that keeps some of us from wasting $2-4 an episode to watch a poorly scheduled TV show?!

it had "canceled" written all all his "face". that´s why i didnt even saw the episode 2.

reply

Well it surely did not help when they had people texting back to unknown/withheld numbers either. They did it in at least two episodes, going over the top in the season finale (with Amber and that kid Martinez constantly texting back to number "Unknown")

I think it has more to do with a horribly unbelievable story.

I agree NBC did the same thing with the shows Kings they kept changing the air date of the show and said they had to cancel it because it didn't have enough viewers to keep it on the air. Well my response to them is how is a show supposed to get viewers if you keep changing the air date
