I’m hoping to get more content up tonight (including this week’s TMQ watch) but I wanted to quickly note the first cancellation of the television season; the heavily hyped Lone Star.
There was some discussion of this at the SDC on Saturday, and it turns out we’re an elite group; two people had watched the first episode, while a third (your obedient servant) had recorded it, but not watched it yet. Frankly, I was somewhat shocked Fox didn’t cancel it after the first episode; a serialized show like this isn’t going to pick up viewers in the second and subsequent episodes.
Just for grins, and because this came up over sushi on Sunday, here’s the Wikipedia list of shows cancelled after one episode (more or less; there’s some special cases noted in the article).
