Do NOT watch The Nine !!
By fred | August 1, 2007
Remember The Nine, one of the new show this season that got canceled after only a few episodes ??
To refresh your memory, the show is about a bank robbery that lasted 72 hours, and what happened to the people took hostages on the bank and how this event got all those stranger together. The show had a pretty cool concept, and a quite great pilot.
To be honest though, I blame the show for its poor doing. Doesn’t mean I support its early cancellation, of course not, but as remaining unaired episodes are on their way to you… I’m asking you NOT to watch them.
Working as opposite as usual, on The Nine the story that grabbed all viewers interest and hold all the show’s mysteries was told through flashbacks, with most of the episodes took place weeks and months after the robbery.
Obviously, people wanted to see what took place in the bank, during the robbery, while seeing them struggle to move on with their lives after was of very less interest. Yet, we were only given seconds, really, only a few seconds of flashbacks each episode.
As expected, the show got boring.
I seem to remember things changing in the last aired episodes, and more of the robbery being revealed in each episode, but by then it was sadly too late already and the decision had already been made, ABC took the show off the air after no more than seven episodes.
Now ABC has decided to air the six remaining unaired episodes, and I am asking you, even if you liked the show, to NOT watch them.
Why? Because I can’t stand it when those fucking big network morons execs took great shows off the air after only a couple of episodes. It happens all the time, all year long, and I wish it would stop.
Just this year, on ABC as well, and after promoting it as a show that would run its full course, during Lost hiatus, and give viewers all answers by the season/series finale, those assholes took Daybreak, a great show, off the air after only six episodes !
And the worst part is, they even blame us, you and me viewers, for this. Because when a new show start, we don’t watch it and rather wait till it finishes its first season, and get picks up for a second one.
People (rightfully) lost faith in networks and are more and more to restraint themselves from watching new shows, in scare that they’ll get cancel too soon. And they use this behavior as why the show are getting canceled : no one watches them.
So let’s stop agreeing to all their non-sense actions, if you too are tired of being slapped in the face, if you can’t stand those network canceling great shows one after the other after only a few episodes, then stop watching the few remaining episodes they throw at you whenever they feel like it, to fill some holes in their schedule.
ABC President Stephen McPherson even admitted that the show wasn’t designed to end after only thirteen episodes, and therefore you will not get answers to questions & mysteries of the show. But he just don’t care, about that, you, or the show.
To stop them from treating us like shit, and to believe, as Fox chairman Peter Liguori does, that after canceling a show before the fifth episode can air, putting the few remaining episodes available on their website is “satisfying to the loyalists of the show“, we need to do something.
Let’s start by not watching the episodes of The Nine they’re throwing at us now, so hopefully they won’t have (that) many to throw next season….
