I thought I'd get this off my chest before it became too old. Well, I don't really need to get anything off my chest. I'm not crushed. I'm not distraught. I haven't lost any sleep over the news. But I was quite shocked to learn the other night while I was thinking of any shows I needed to catch up on and stumbled upon the news that NBC canceled Quarterlife after only airing one episode. The second episode, which was supposed to have aired this past Sunday, didn't even make it out the door. I was kinda down about that. I wasn't blown away by the series premiere or anything, but I thought there was potential. I thought there was something there. It's especially sad considering how many shit shows are still airing that are passing for entertainment these days. That's such a downer. I had hope for this one.... I mean c'mon, the creators of My So-Called Life and Thirtysomething!? I just know if it had time to grow it would've become something special. I hate seeing something snuffed out like that. Especially when I consider how right the timing was. The story focused on this female writer... and there was something about that and this and... well it just seemed perfect. I was looking forward to it. I don't think things like that are accidents. It had a mix of the things that are in my head right now... that catch my interest... the writing process, writers, self-publishing, social media, etc. It was a compelling brew. Something in there I needed and wanted. I was excited to see what might bloom.
DS333, disappointed.
