I am devastated at the cancellation of Lucifer

Word to the wise: Don't fall in love with a TV show.
It will never lead to anything good.

X-Files.

3. Fox kills everything it touches....

Except the Simpsons, but that one should have been put out of its misery a long time ago.

2. And this is why I pretty much only watch shows on Netflix

Although I’ve made the mistake of binge watching orphan series- you know, series that only last one season but for some reason are available to stream? Yeah, those are really not satisfying to watch. The last one I watched was totally by accident.

7. True

And then when you find out a series has been cancelled, you wonder why you bother to watch the rest of the season. That's the case for me with The Crossing and Deception. Sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy by the networks. See, viewership is down. Well, it's down because you decided to cancel it.

4. "Librarians" also cancelled.

Damn shame, it was great fun!

5. Aw boo! I liked that show as well.

*sigh*

6. Me too

You are so right.

Another cancellation I oppose, after only one season: Deception

I wonder - are the networks looking only at TV viewing, or do they factor in streaming? Granted, they probably don't make as much from streaming, but, still. . .

That said, by streaming via Hulu, etc., I don't really know what networks these shows are on, so the networks can't really factor in network loyalty. Very complicated world we live in, but surely they could have figured out a way to keep Lucifer going.

One more thing. I wish good British shows could manage more than 6 episodes per "series." By the time you're getting into a season, it's over.

8. I don't know about streaming, but they pick up DVR numbers within 24 hours.

Which I think is crazy.

It sometimes takes me a week or more to watch even my favorite shows.

Don't even get me started on this trend for tiny seasons.

Call me old fashioned (I plead guilty!) but I wish seasons would go back to when they were 26 episodes per season.

9. Have you ever seen "Miranda?" The guy who played Lucifer is the love interest.

It's extremely goofy, and you start by saying, "I can't believe how stupid this is," but by the end of the episode you are laughing out loud.

10. Join #savelucifer #pickuplucifer

There's a growing movement to have the show moved to another network, maybe the CW. The star of the show has been campaigning for it's return.

11. Will do! Where do I join?

Thanks!!

12. If you're on Twitter, just use those hashtags whenever you can

the star of the show's name is Tom Ellis, follow him he's giving updates on the movement to save the show

13. My husband and I have found if we say we like a show aloud that it soon gets canceled.

It isn't true, of course, but it does seem that way about a lot of shows.

We laugh about it now but we sure do miss "American Gothic". The 1995 series, that is. (w/ Gary Cole, Lucas Black, etc..)
