What the...seriously? The 4400 cancelled?

Seriously, this week sucks. TV sucks. First "Journeyman", which has been freakin' awesome the past few weeks (which has not officially been cancelled, but I have NO HOPE when it comes to the networks these days), but now Watch With Kristin is reporting that "The 4400" and "The Dead Zone" have been cancelled. What the hell????

I really do support the writer's strike- but I can't help feeling that they're starting to burn their own asses. Are all of these shows being cancelled because it's the AMPTP's subtle way of controlling the situation and hoping that it'll scare the writer's into settling? It seems a lot of these shows would've been given more of a cancel were they able to continue airing (esp. "Bionic Woman" which will probably be not coming back either).

So, I put this out there to all TV viewers, like me. DO NOT WATCH REALITY TV. No "Clash of the Craptastic Choirs" no "D-List Celebrity Apprentice". Just don't watch it. Eventually, the networks will have to start pushing the AMPTP to make a real deal, because if we don't watch, the advertisers will pull their ads, and they'll start losing money. Serious money. It's the only way they'll talk.

Afterworld

I've noticed some incoming searches wondering if "Afterworld" is cancelled. If youtube and myspace aren't airing new episodes daily, go to www.budtv.com. There you can watch up through episode 92 and they do indeed show a new episode every day (part of their deal with Budweiser). There are only 130 episodes slated- not 500 as some have reported. The 130 episodes were going to be broken into 3 seasons, and are on myspace and youtube, but there is no separation or lag between episodes on budtv.

So, obviously Russ makes it home (he's the narrator from 3 years in the future), but is his family going to be there? Is the Walker going to become the new world order that Russ has been hoping for- the group that embraces the new world and is grateful for the second chance?

Weigh in with your opinion/theories!

Save Journeyman

With any show that's introducing a mythology, it takes time. With "Journeyman" I've enjoyed this show from the get go- and even more so now that we're learning more about what might be driving our time travelers. If you enjoy this show as much as me (or if you haven't seen it, check it out!!), voice your support. Go to http://savejourneyman.net/ and see what you can do to support this show.
