Round and Round, then Down... in the 'Ratings Game'.......

 



3.2 lbs of disks......that's a lot of 're-watching'.....a TV Series that, I thought, ended....prematurely......damn those 'ratings'.....Yet, Law & Order goes on and on and on......Do No Harm, Weeds, Dexter, 24 and United States of Tara....even Shameless.....had inevitable closures......with little fanfare....With the exception of Shows like Mr. Robot, for example, that had...originally....a Plan....to End.....My issue with 'Series'......their survival depends upon 'the numbers'......Even I LOVE LUCY! At least, I was spared the possible idiotically desperate screenwriting of another Gotham season, wherein Bruce opens a batburger joint with Enigma working the register; James and Harvey checking for Covid masks; Oswald and Barbara running the back office; Butch and Leslie in charge of TV advertising.....perhaps, 4...and a bit more....was enough.....and only the dog would drink from the toilet of another season......
