Shows That You Just Can’t Stand To See Cancelled

I watch TV quite a bit with my wife.  Over the years we have noticed more and more how a show just doesn’t make it more than 1 or 2 seasons if they are lucky.  Some of the ones that we liked a lot make it even longer, but end up being killed off by the producers.

The TV show LOST was a show that kept us hanging continuously each week.  The very ending was far from what we thought.  I personally didn’t like the ending, but after that many seasons they had to put it to bed.

Another show that we loved was Vegas.  They did a good job with the show in keeping it fresh.  I never did find out why they cancelled that one.

The other one that I thought would have made it far was the Playboy Club.  This show should have been a homerun in my opinion because it had crime, and women in sexy bunny costumes.

My wife was upset with how Heroes was ended.  I never watched it, so I can’t put my two cents in.

What is your take on how TV has become?

clip_image002This Summer, loyal fans and collectors can finally bring home one of the most enduring animated adventures from the 80’s when the long-awaited M.A.S.K.: The Complete Original Series DVD box set debuts nationwide on August 9, 2011 from Shout! Factory, in collaboration with FremantleMedia Enterprises.

A must-have for collectors to complete their pop culture video library, M.A.S.K.: The Complete Original Series is available for pre-order now from Amazon.com and major retailers.

Led by multimillionaire Matt Trakker, the Mobile Armored Strike Kommand — better known simply as M.A.S.K. — defends the world against Miles Mayhem and his nefarious international criminal organization V.E.N.O.M., the very same group responsible for the death of Trakker’s teenage brother. With his own son, Scott, and a secret strike force including his friends — engineer Bruce Sato, courageous historian Hondo MacLean, mechanic Buddy Hawks, rocker Brad Turner, computer expert Alex Sector, stunt driver Dusty Hayes and beautiful martial artist Gloria Baker — it’s up to Trakker, equipped with special power-granting masks and a garage of special militarized vehicles, to keep the world safe from Mayhem and the villainy of V.E.N.O.M (Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem).

Throughout the years, M.A.S.K. boasts a large fan following and spawned a series of toy line, comic books and video games. The complete original series of M.A.S.K. has been sub-licensed to home video distribution to Shout! Factory by FremantleMedia Enterprises.
