Cancelled TV shows

So far, 3 of the shows I watch regularly are being cancelled: Almost Human, Intelligence, and Revolution. Why do they always cancel the good shows and keep the crap like Duck Dynasty???!!!

The only show I'm upset that they cancelled so far is The Crazy Ones. Duck Dynasty sells a lot of merchandise and gets really good ratings. Its cheap to film and makes a lot of money. Simple as that.

I think Gene Roddenberry said it best:

"TV only exists to sell things."

If it isn't making someone money, it isn't getting airtime. (Also - sorry your fav shows are getting axed. )

I think it also goes along with the dumbing down of America

I can't say I'm too broken up about "Almost Human".
When I saw the trailer I was really impressed and looking forward to this show. While it had some good effects, a cool future setting and starred Karl Urban who I generally like...I just never found it engaging at all past the first episode. I actually gave up about 3 eps in.

Intelligence...well, I wanted to see that. I'd been collecting it. Now I won't even bother watching.
I can kind of understand why, it was more or less "Chuck" with a darker tone, from what I can understand.

Revolution, I am disappointed by - did it actually "end" or get resolved?
I'd been saving up this last season, but probably (again) won't even watch if it's ends on some stupid cliffhanger shit.

Duck Dynasty...I have never, nor will I ever, watch...the name alone just tells me it's a dumbshit of a show.

Revolution hasn't aired their finale yet. I believe it's next week.

That is true and agree with the idea that there is a general dumbing down of America. That's why shows like Jersey Shore, Duck Dynasty, and the Kardashian show (whatever it's called) became so popular. As for Duck Dynasty, I heard it took a big hit when it came back on. Maybe they might end up cancelling it. As for your shows, I am not familiar with those shows, but it is unfortunate, for you, they are cancelling them. Luckily, they have not cancelled any of the shows I watch yet.

Sorry, and thank you. I thought about that after I clicked "Submit New Thread". But, of course, it was too late.
