Oh I know. It's the one accept of it that I think is ridiculous. Just don't do cliffhangers. I could not even stand being part of a show that did not have a complete story.

I prefer a better bookend to a season. Most of the time the season opener gets shown and the next episode has nothing to do with the events of what happened and starts a new story.

Gotta love how the comments about FOX are still relevant despite this being an 11-yr thread bump.

There was the initial title of Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place. They retooled it a bit, lost some main characters. I think David Ogden Stiers was a regular who always imagined he was a famous character from a movie, a different movie each week.
Then they added more characters (making the title of the show completely moot), until it was six 20-somethings living in Boston, three male three female. Basically, a Boston Friends.
Finally, none of the characters were particularly likeable (the Seinfeld influence)

But it was funny as hell. Ryan Reynolds had great comedic timing, and it was one of the first major roles for Nathan Fillion. Once it finally found its footing and direction, it was cancelled.

Shows get canceled midseason. If you don't want a show to do a cliffhanger you should never be watching it live. Wait for Netflix, DVD etc. They have to find ways for people to tune back in.

Why? Because Fox produces more of the Sci-Fi shows that members of this forum watch so they become the punching bag?

Fringe lasted 5 seasons. Dollhouse got a second (!). So did Touch, that Mark Valley show etc. Shit, The Mindy Project got a Third Season after being retooled three or four times.

I've been watching The Mindy Project since the beginning I wouldn't say it's been retooled even once. They've brought in new supporting characters throughout the run but a number of shows do that. The core of the show is the same though.

Yeah, I liked that one. The only real weak spot was the guy across that alley.

Adding insult to injury is that a cast member from Don't Trust... is now a regular on 2 Broke Girls, which only serves to remind me how much funnier Don't Trust was.

That show made me a fan of Brian Austin Green even.
