My Frustration with 'Eli Stone' and 'Kings' Cancellation Continues, 'Virtuality' on FOX one of Lowest Rated Premieres this Summer, 'Dexter' Teaser
How frustrating it is today watching Eli Stone that I DVR'd yesterday. If any show wasn't deserving of cancellation it was most definitely Eli Stone. What is particularly frustrating is that there is so much story there that will never be told. If any of you watch the show you'll remember that in the first season Eli had a vision of him and Maggie at a rally together as a couple with their child. Yet when we watch the series today they are not together, although we know that both of them want to be and just can't seem to get the timing right. It leaves you wanting more, wanting to watch their relationship unfold. Something we will never have the opportunity to do because the show is , well canceled. My only hope is that the last episode that airs will tie up some lose endings, but I highly doubt that. Again.. extremely frustrating.
And equally frustrating.. 'Kings'. As I blogged last week. So darned good. A Princess pledged to God but in love with David, a Prince who is gay and in love with a man who killed himself, and a 'King' with a secret second family out in the woods . A double life, as it is. A nephew who was once banished from the kingdom. Why? A Queen being blackmailed by someone with knowledge of both children's indiscretion being forced to chose either the downfall of the Prince or Princess. We don't know. But will we ever? So good, so juicy.. so canceled!
BTW. another good show people haven't been watching much of 'Harpers Island' is drawing to an end in two weeks with its final 2 hour episode. If this show was a series, it would have been canceled, but thank goodness it was meant to have an end and we get a conclusion. It really had you guessing and kept me on the edge of my seat.
'Virtuality' appeared on FOX on Friday, apparently. I didn't even know it was on and I missed it. Apparently not many people did either. It had one of the lowest summer premiere ratings, in the same category as 'The Goode Family'. How do they expect a show to do well when there is virtually (no pun intended) promotion for it. I don't remember seeing a commercial about it.
For Dexter Fans(myself included) , I found this promo teaser poster for the upcoming new season on thr.com . No worries, that is just sauce/ baby food on the little tike. It's definitely a witty teaser poster for sure and obviously hints to the fact that Dexter will be dealing with becoming a father in the new season.
In case you hadn't noticed, 'The Listener' wasn't actually on this week (or 'Chopping Block' also airing it's final recorded episodes). . It was supposed to be but was pre-empted with a tribute to Farah Fawcett. Found that out when I went to watch it on my DVR, only it wasn't 'The Listener'. Watching the tributes and Farah's Story with her battle with cancer is just sad, so I really do not want to watch it, so I didn't.
