So What, I watch Stupid TV and Like it….
It happens every year. One of the major broadcast networks airs a stirring new prime time drama. Billboards are purchased. Promos are run. City buses are papered. Critics cream themselves.
And then when the stirring new prime time drama debuts, it tanks. Gets whipped in the ratings by some cheap, fluffy excrement on another channel. Network execs freak out. People get fired. Show gets canned. Critics claim that America wasn’t ready for something so edgy, so unusual, so real.
Smith the CBS drama about some high stakes theives starring everyone’s favorite bad guy Ray Liotta has been cancelled after 3 episodes. I don’t know if this means they will be showing the remainder of the shows they have taped or if they will just show reruns of CSI but either way I am not happy. Apparently me and 8.4 million are as well but CBS doesn’t care.
Smith comes on Tuesday nights after The Unit (starring the AllState guy), another show which I am a big fan of, and I thought Smith’s would be a perfect fit seeing as they probably capture the same demographic. But seeing as how Smith has failed I’m wondering how long it will be until they take Mr Hayesbert off the air as well? I guess the frugle, 27 year old beer drinking demographic isn’t doing it for CBS, or could it be they gave it the most boring name in TV history? hmmmm

Friday Night Lights, Tuesdays at 8 PM is way better and where my DVR is set. Absolutely awesome show and will get the lion’s share of the 27 year old beer drinking demographic for sure. Check it out.
i like it too, but the problem is the 28yr olds playing 18 year olds. that and the fact that we are on football overload, they should have put it on in the spring or summer when there is no ball.
