Avoiding Heartbreak with Careful Planning: A Fan's Guide to FOX

[sisabet]

I'm actually physically afraid of watching "Wonderfalls" tonight because I am pretty certain I will like it and if I like it and it develops into a show I love - well then FOX will kill it. One way or another, Fox will slice and dice it up.

However, if I don't watch it and I have no feelings for it, then maybe Fox will leave it alone (it is all about *me* you see. Really, it is. Here in this sacred holy LJ space it is all about me. And ME. And Angel, but he works for ME). If Fox leaves it alone, it might have a decent run, generating quality eps and a well-mannered and enthusiastic fan-base. I could then concievably be pimped to the show at a gathering with one of those same well-mannered fen and catch up to the show via the DVDs that are certain to be released and become rabid and rapt in the third season.

Yes. This will be my plan. Tonight I will watch "Invisible Man" and get all misty about poor Darien and his season 2 suffering. For I should *finally* have S2 by tonight. I hope. Oh, God - Do I ever hope.

an alternative approach

Or you could just ask your friends who watched it what they thought. If their opinions are of the "eh" variety, then you know you're not missing much. It's like Tru Calling, which has managed to survive a whole season, mostly because you avoided it.

You are so right. All these shows I don't watch - they stick around forever. Like Friends and that one with Kelsey Grammer. Children that were born when those shows premiered are attending high school now.
