You'll never see them again

Apparently I have horrible taste because every show i like gets canceled in the first or second season

Back when you had TV on a specific schedule, you were forced to watch things as they were. If a show was clunky, well you didn't have much choice in the matter, it was watch that or change channel or go outside.
With on-demand stuff, you can just completely skip over stuff you might actually like because the first few episodes are clunky. Why should I watch something clunky when I have the choice to watch something I know is good from the start?
...I'm still not watching One Piece though, I don't care how good it gets later.
Every 100 episodes of one piece has 10 good episodes. Fans of the show will clip those 10 episodes and yell from the rooftops that it’s the best show.

TNG, Voyager... Rough first seasons leading to excellent series
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Also see Life on Mars, Journeyman, Freaks and Geeks, Pushing Daisies, and Freaking Firefly.
None of this is new.

Maybe I'm weird but sometimes I actually enjoy streaming one episode per week, especially if I like the show, it just forces me to spread it out.
Dude id be fine with like 3 per week... if they do 13-14 episodes then they guaranteed two months streaming income. As it is... yes im gonna just keep rotating streaming services.

Is there a television show that doesn't have a gun in it?
Tons of 'em! Comedies, in particular, tend not to have guns. I watch a lot of UK light ent, particularly panel shows, which fit the bill.Then there's sci-fi (if you're cool with space guns), and shows set before guns were invented (other weapons may make appearances).

I spread it out regardless, I just don’t want to pick up a show without a conclusion.

Also TV now:
Murder mystery.
"Comedy" that's all about murder mystery.
Depressing drama.
Drama about murder.
Murder comedy that's mostly just drama.
Documentary about murder.
Depressing documentary.I miss the good engineering docos, how it's made etc. And shows like Mythbusters.
There's nothing quite like that now.

There's so many shows that I watch one episode of something with the wife every night, and we haven’t run out of stuff to watch in years. We like to watch one show at a time till we finish the season before we move on to something else, so we just wait till the show or season is over

I love Freaking Firefly.

Which one was filler?
S03E10 - "Fly"

Orville best NuTrek.
...and yet the elevator pitch "Seth McFarlane wants to be Picard" sounds like it would be awful. But it works.

We don't talk about that.
I bought the OG McGyver on DVD a few years ago and I was all "I remember this being a lot better than this"

I'm reserving my judgement until I see the reboot of the Munsters.
Is this a real thing?

Also writers: We don’t give a shit about the source material the fans love. Fuck these nerds.
I was so disappointed by the ready player one film and was absolutely flabbergasted when I learned the author was actually actively involved in the film.

I used to hate the weekly model when streaming became popular, but I think people are better viewers when they watch weekly. It's easier to have ongoing water cooler conversations about each episode, so your show gets consistent buzz. Plus you don't have the extreme of a whole year+ to wait between seasons. If a classic show ended in May you could start a new season in September. By the time most modern shows have new seasons, I forgot 40% of what I saw last season.

If you want to know how the series would've been if it had stayed on, you can read the comics.
Graphic novels were sweet, especially the Shepherd's tale.

no one tell make them watch 10 seasons of stargate
I tell everyone I can to watch 10 seasons of SG-1 . The first show I actually watched every episode in order, though I am sure I saw many of those in syndication before Netflix became a thing. If you don't like Stargate there it's something wrong with you.

I much prefer one episode a week. However the wife doesn't. This is the main reason we never finished Flash. Also because she felt we had to watch all the arrow verse shows in order to watch Flash and she decided it wasn't worth it once to do that you'd have to watch one episode of Arrow than one of Flash, then one of DC's Legend of Tomarrow.

Is there a television show that doesn't have a gun in it?
I don't recall the last time I saw a gun on TV outside of an advertisement or the news, so I guess your mileage may vary.
