I think the textbook example of that would have to be Prison Break.Skyquake87 wrote:There's a lot of concept telly around at the moment - Homeland is a good example - which has a fantastic premise, but does all it needs to in one series, but end up getting strung out beyond their shelf life because of ratings and blah.
Nah, none of them are wearing anything that is particularly restrictive-looking. The one on the far right maybe. And for "modesty's sake", it's easy enough to slip a pair of yoga shorts or whatever underneath a skirt, too.Warcry wrote:What kills me about the "interns" story is that they must have known what the job entails but everyone in the picture showed up to work wearing skirts.

Honestly don't watch a whole lot of TV nowadays, but I agree with the first part of that. It was good. But I never really thought it lived up to its hype, and the hype has just served to annoy the shit out of me on various occasions. Three years in? Yeah, okay. But not twelve, come on.I mean, Firefly was an entertaining show, but based on the handful of episodes that actually got produced it wasn't anything special. Better shows than it get cancelled almost every year and nobody remembers or cares about them.
The odd thing is, 24 should be exactly the same. It's such a blatant one season format (even more so than Prison Break and Heroes), the fact that it not only ran for 8 years plus revival with a general level of quality (there are poor seasons, but they're spread out evenly across the run) is actually pretty amazing.Warcry wrote:I think the textbook example of that would have to be Prison Break.
Season 1: Breaking out of a prison.
Season 2: On the run after said breakout. Which was actually pretty cool and made sense.
Season 3: Contrived spy bullshit puts them back in another, badder prison! What could possibly happen next?
Season 4: More contrived bullshit completely unrelated to the original premise. Nobody cares anymore and the show dies a shadow of its former self.
If the show had ended after either of the first two seasons, it would have had a fantastic run.
Eh, at least the leads are getting to ham it up together as supervillains on Flash now.

Yuppers. That too.Hound wrote:I don't wish it would come back, though I understand the sentiment behind wishing it had gotten a longer run.
That is pretty much me. I would much rather see a new Farscape series produced the original series was the most imaginative sci-fi TV series made in the last 25 years and was a lot of fun to watch.Warcry wrote:What kills me about the "interns" story is that they must have known what the job entails but everyone in the picture showed up to work wearing skirts.
