I was gonna say, there were like 100 different episodes of Gilligan's Island and multiple movies.  I used to watch that all the time as a kid.

Another recent show I really liked that only aired a couple episodes before getting cancelled (luckily the entire first season went to dvd) is the show Wonderfalls.  The critics loved it, but they changed the time and day the show was on 3 times...and they only aired 4 episodes.  No wonder its ratings were bad, no one knew when it was on.

The biggest difference is that back then,  a season was 30-35 episodes whereas we are lucky to get 20-25 episodes per season in todays market.

Agreed, I think there were something like 70 episodes of Munsters in just those two seasons, but they were both cancelled way too early.  Every other show at that time also had 30-35 shows per season, yet most of the popular ones went for 5 or more seasons.  I'm just saying that cancelling good shows has been happening for a long time and isn't something new (although it does seem to happen more often in recent years then in the past)

The Black Donnellys is a horrible show...

The key word, my friend, is "WAS"...not "IS".

I thought that the Black Donnellys really had a lot of potential.  I'm sad to see it go, but am not at all surprised since they wanted to build an audience from the Heroes audience.... but then only aired it after 2 new Heroes episodes.   :banghead:   Gee... I wonder why no one watched it then heh.

I unfortunately figured this was coming, but it still sucks.  Especially since it's being replaced with some idiotic reality show... THAT is what has destroyed television... reality shows.
