Cancelled

[deleted]

Soooo...they're not airing the last two episodes, for some dumb reason. TWO. Uggh, come on, just air as much of it as you made, for corn's sake. Now we'll have to see them through Netflix or Amazon or Hulu, or whichever service gets the whole show first. Maybe it'll be the ABC site itself.

"If you don't have anything nice to say...come sit by me!"

The original trailer for the show billed it as 8 weeks - 8 women.

I liked Killer Women! Was it perfect, no; but it sure started with a heck of a lot more potential then a lot of other scripted shows eventually build to. If it is in fact cancelled, I’m really bummed.

I liked that Killer Women had a female lead, and the idea that every episode highlighted a female killer made it even a more intriguing concept. I enjoyed the chemistry between Ranger Molly and FBI Agent Dan, the brother-sister relationship, and the swirling energy of the kids that occasionally got thrown in was fun. Adding to my delight of the show, is that most of every episode was shot on location, rather then some stiff interior, or back lot that “looks” like the south. I think this show has room to grow, and the actors to pull it off. It just needs time to build ratings.

If the major networks want a strong, committed audience, it takes time to build that. It takes time for an audience to fall in love with a show, spread the word, and ratings to grow. It’s the rare show to have huge ratings numbers out of the gate. If a show is lucky to have strong numbers, great; but don’t kill a show after a tiny number of airings because you don’t have a “committed audience”. Look at how ABC handled Mind Games, with Christian Slater and Steve Zahn. Ten episodes were shot, and ABC cancelled the show after airing only two episodes. Two episodes! Who the heck becomes a die-hard fan after two episodes?

Why the heck should an audience commit to a show if a network has a reputation of killing scripted shows after one, two, or three airings? Why should I spend my time getting involved in the characters, fall in love with a show, and watch the show when it airs (rather then On Demand), if all that will eventually happen is that the show gets cancelled?

Insulting the audience all the more is the way networks choose to cancel shows. Rarely – if ever – is a reality show cancelled. Why?

Look at Donald Trump’s The Apprentice; it had awful ratings in its last season, but NBC committed to air all of the shows that were already shot. Why? Sure you don’t have to pay as much for a reality show – even a reality show with third-tier “celebrities”. However, if a scripted and reality show has been shot, why not air all of the episodes that you’ve already paid to shoot?

I’m just airing my frustration that it’s a rare that a reality show gets cancelled before all of the shot episodes air, but it’s sadly become the norm to hear that a scripted show gets cancelled before all of the shot episodes air. Grrr…sorry for venting…

Darn ABC for killing a show that has a strong female lead, and a huge potential to grow!! What the heck?

ABC kills a scripted show that had some interesting characters, and instead of trying to help the show grow, ABC pulls it! On top of that, ABC wants us to watch pathetic shows like The Bachelor.

Who gets the gig of having the privilege to make these decisions, and then screw up so badly? With some of the shows that networks choose to air, or keep on their schedules, I often wonder what's their definition of success. I know, I know...ratings, ratings, ratings...but, come on!!

Grrr...I'm so frustrated, because I really liked the journey this show was taking us on. In my fantasy world of network programming, I wish another network like USA or Lifetime would pickup Killer Women.
