: Universe really kicked off in the ass end of the first season and got even
: better in the second. Seems like more and more everyday networks aren't
: giving well-received and beloved shows a chance. Cult favorites like Chuck
: and Comnunity bring in amazing fans and excellent ratings, but need to
: rely on Subway or Toyota to keep the show going on NBC.

: Television is such bullshit nowadays. Both SG-1 and Atlantis took awhile for
: them to find their grove. Universe didn't even get a chance.

Ah, forgot there were SG fans here. Any of you read this? http://www.gateworld.net/news/2013/09/can-a-movie-reboot-save-stargate/

As for the issue of killing series "before their time"... I dunno, I think it might just be a sad fact that the luxury to do badly the first season or two doesn't exist any more. Star Trek: TOS couldn't have gotten to the second pilot these days; TNG would have been cancelled after its second season. Hell it's sort of a miracle Chuck got a second season considering its first one wasn't that great and it hit the writer's strike.

Until studios can better leverage metrics from the true entertainment-watching population rather than the statistically-useless Nielsen numbers and figure out how to monetize the people watching the shows for free without ads everywhere, I'm not sure it's going to get any better.

Maybe Microsoft has a plan to address that differently than Netflix's almost newspaper-like approach of subsidizing original content with churn and bad Korean romantic comedies. It'll be interesting to say the least.
