Comments on: The CW is SMRT http://www.thejay.com/2007/05/01/the-cw-is-smrt/ The official site of Jason Matthews - Playwright, Blogger, Doer Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:10:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Kyle BB97 http://www.thejay.com/2007/05/01/the-cw-is-smrt/#comment-53340 Kyle BB97 Mon, 04 Jun 2007 08:41:58 +0000 http://www.thejay.com/2007/05/01/the-cw-is-smrt/#comment-53340 <p>It's a very sad time.....I'm still in so much shock about the cancellation. Veronica Mars is without a doubt, the wittiest show on television right now. Even Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy, said something along the same lines! The CW has made probably the biggest mistake they, or even the WB or UPN, has ever made. I'm positive with the loss of Gilmore Girls (which should have ended last season with Luke and Lorelei getting hitched and calling it a day) and the disasters coming to the network next season most viewers won't be returning. I'm sure that VM's loyal fan base WILL NOT ever watch this horrible network again if they choose to officially cancel this brilliant show. If there's one thing that 7th Heaven has taught us, it's that a show can be brought back for one final shitty season if the fan support is big enough. I think with last summer's support from fans, this summer's will only be bigger. I just hope that the CW (Cynical Weiners) realizes their HUGE mistake before all is lost.</p> It’s a very sad time…..I’m still in so much shock about the cancellation.

If the only way to bring in rating is to waste 10 minutes on relationships, including face cakes and fake angst, and to lose the noir tone which made the first season so outstanding, then it might be better to let the immensely talented Bell go do better work.

Well, to be honest, I’ve reserved my crushes for those of the male persuasion – not that I can’t admire a good female entertainer, I just don’t crush on them ;)

She's extremely talented, smart, funny, totally cute, and she plays the kick ass lead on one of my favorite TV shows. At what point did you think I was trying to push my objectivity? Frankly, I'm more surprised that everyone else DOESN'T have a crush on Kristen Bell? </p> <p>What's stopping you people? Is it how awesome she is? Are you intimidated by the awesome?

Jay, now you have a sense of how outraged and indignant some of us got when they pulled Serenity after just one amazing season… gets you right HERE, don’t it??

Why do they screw with these shows with hardcore fans and good initial ratings and critical approval?? Because the execs are 25, stoned from 10 years of allnight raves and have no sense of tv history beyond Saved by the Bell??!
