I've only gotten into Supernatural recently, so I should go back and watch all the episodes (we have them on dvd, I am just lazy), I'm just pissed at the general state of programming on Australian television. Shows are given 2-3 weeks in order to start pulling in big numbers otherwise they're out the door. Every other night there's repeats of The Simpsons and NCIS, there's no good reason to remove first run shows for not rating high enough in the non ratings period and exspecially over the 2 weeks around Christmas when everyone is on holiday, travelling and spending time with their families.
White Collar finishes this week also, so I am now left with absolutely no original programming to watch. *sigh* (what was the point of all those new channels if they're just going to air old shows?)
Oh, I agree with all of that. Have given up TV for that exact reason. It's so unreliable it's just not worth it. Downloads and DVDs are the way to go! *nods*
White Collar.. Oh, I didn't know you watch that! :) Sucks it's finishing. Think it's getting a second season though, isn't it? I read a thing not too long ago with renewed shows and am fairly certain I read that.. *ponders*
Well I choose not to download and the dvd release dates are quite horrid compared with the US/UK etc.
I'm glad White Collar has recieved an order to season 2, but that doesn't help our predicament here, taking the show off after only 5 episodes. People will lose interest, and if they try to put them back on in the ratings period up against shows with a proven high rating then they will just suffer again and be removed from programming once more.
