How did this get canceled? Talk about a failure in marketing.
It had a lot of things not going for it. It was original, which is enough for most TV executives to hate it. It had messages to make, which pissed off folks. And oh yea, it was about a bunch of anti-government criminals that at one point rebelled against the centralized authority, whom the show made look evil. Not so nice things to say about big business either (Blue Sun).
" 'em Independents shoulda been killed off every world spinnin', and replaced with American Idol ", I suppose was the prevailing attitude at FOX. Why have thought prevoking, original content, when you can insult folks for not measuring up to an inflated ego like that Brit guy? I never met a person yet that doesn't want to punch him in the face, myself included. (And no, I've never watched a single episode. Gorram piece of junk.)
Where's that puking icon when ya need one?
