Scrubs RIP

As much as I hate to see it go, I am glad they didn't decide to try and keep it going after Zach leaves. It just wouldn't be the same at all, and I prefer that shows die with some dignity and respect instead of trying to milk out every penny they can before it entirely croaks.

On a related note, I also hate it when networks kill a go show because ratings aren't high enough. If they are actually loosing money I can understand it, but most low rated shows are canned because they don't make enough profit. What happened to artistic merit?

Then there are the shows that are never even really given a chance. How many shows get canned after one or two epsidoes? You made 13, why not air them all, you have got to have some dead time to put them in. Also, maybe if you thought about the time slot befire dropping a show there. Case in point, Dark Angel on ABC, they put it up against Angel on the WB or UPN or whatever it was called. Now, the whole sci-fi/fantasy market is small anyways, why divide it even more. Put it against some crappy sitcom and then you get the whole geek audience instead of forcing us to choose one show or the other.

Also, when you choose a time slot, leave the show there. Don't bump it around, and for goodness sake don't air a pilot and then preempt the show the very next week. Doing this crap drives viewers insane. The Tick series aired all over the place, you could never find when it was on, and then when you did, they canned it. Morons.
