The Television Show Graveyard For The 2006 Season

Television Show Graveyard

With the new fall season underway on all the networks, it will become apparent soon which shows will continue and which shows will be executed by poor ratings. I watched the “Daily Buzz” this morning on the local CW affiliate and saw a segment they did about a website giving odds and taking bets on which shows would be cancelled. I was immediately suspicious of the objectivity when I saw the banner ads for NBC shows and then confirmed it when at the very bottom of the site were the following words:

©2006 NBC Universal, Inc. All rights reserved

So much for any objectivity. No wonder only one NBC show, “Friday Night Lights” was listed as one of the shows given odds for cancellation. Plus it obviously was no coincidence that the banner ads on the page were for the very same show. This was something the “Daily Buzz” failed to mention. The site’s terms of service is a lawyer’s desire full of legalese. Check the site out if you must but be aware that it’s owned and operated by NBC/Universal so expect the information and “news” to be heavily biased in favor of NBC/Universal properties.
