Full Version: Greedy Producers

I, as all of you are, are upset that the show got cancelled without ending the Armaggeddon arc. And i am pissed off at USA Network for not letting the show finish properly.

That said, its also the freakin producers fault as well. They knew that they were on a short leash, i guess for a couple of seasons now becuse after every season there was a debate whether to renew the series and instead of wrapping it up, espeacially in season 6 they chose to keep the arc hanging, hoping that it will be renewed.

More over, they did not even make a back up plan just in case the show ended. Heroes made 2 season final episodes coming into the strick, 1 to continue the storyline if the strick was quick and then a season finale episode in case it was not quick. And they played the season finale episode to keep the fans happy.

Same with Jericho, knowing that their time might be up. But the fracken Dead Zone producers, also knowing that there time might be cut off at any point did not do anything. They did not make an alternate ending episode, they just sat back and wanted to see how it all unraveled.

And we have to suffer.

Fuke them as well

Hi Bubba here, I think they were ready for the show to end. That's JMO.

Take a chill pill, you know what suffering is, move to Africa and eat grass to survive, that is suffering. It's just a tv-show. Sure it's not nice that they ended it like this, but really you're over reacting.

Want to blame someone blame USA. They did the canceling.

While I understand your views, the writers and producers have a job and they have to do it. They can't just change everything just in case they are cancelled.

After season 7 of Charmed they had a series/season finale in case they don't come back. Problem there was season 8 was totally pointless. Things were pretty much wrapped up.

I think the actual finale was better, but season 7's finale ruled everything pointless.

But I don't see how the producers are greedy for doing their job, but ok

My point is about the "greedy producers" is that instead of them wrapping up the show while they still could because they new that they were on a tight leash after season 6 was almost not going to happen, they decided to add another twist at the end so to lead on if the dead zone comes bak for a 7th season.

Now i know, that they were "only doing there jobs" but if i were them i would finish the story and make the viewers happy, rather then pushing the limits to try to get some more $ in their bank account by hoping for another chance

Have you been there? Have you seen how USA has done things? For all you know USA let everyone belief there would be a season 7. And if the writers and producers didn't know that USA had already made up their mind, there was nothing they could do...unlike Johnny Smith they are not psychic, so if they have been let in the dark by USA about their true intentions there was nothing they could but write as if there would be a season 7.

Once again, want to point a finger, point it to USA for doing what they did.
