I dont get into shows anymore on big networks, especially NBC and all that. There is rearly a good show that stays on it gets crazy. I mean "Heoroes"... cancelled because of ratings even though there was a strike or whatever ( by the way the new heroes is most likely cancelled to..) then you had "The returned"... what ever happened to that show?.. i can go on and on these networks don't give a show a chance they want reality shows only it seems its stupid..I do not understand either why these selfish networks cant at least give us a finale show to kind of wrap things up.. quit worrying about nothing but money cause you are getting to the point ( like i am at now where I quit watching certain stations) where people say screw you and just go watch things on netflicks and stuff.. if you are going to cancel a show based on ratings start caring about the thousands that are into it and at least let us get an ending to the story... look at how "the whisperers ended.. if you (the producer or owner of the stations) were into a show would you like it to end like that no... you wouldn't so think of the viewers that do like the show even though there aren't as many of us as you would like we are still here.

You got it on the first guess. The networks are greedy, selfish, and disrespectful. A finale won't increase ratings or draw in new viewers. They leech all they can out of us, as long as it benefits them, and the second it stops benefitting them, the show is ended.

Even if they could easily make a finale, they say, why? People already watched, we have their ratings. People already paid, we have their money. And the show is gone so people can't retaliate by not watching.

It's a giant FU to their show supporters and I agree. This is why it's very rare for me to start a new show. I will wait until it's had enough seasons to prove they won't yank it away from me. I've fallen prey to the network traps over and over and OVER. No more!
