At this stage 52000 Lb's of Nuts have arrived at their Doorstep.

It's all that f..king reality TV that they are pumping out! Proper shows cost too much money to make compared to the reality sewage.

Can't the yanks do what the British do and condense a series into a couple of episodes, I mean seriously Lost and Desperate Housewives have gone on for too long.

What starts off as a interesting concept rapidly turns into a monster with too many stories to follow and so many episodes that start to fall away from the original story that contained the catalyst for its beginning!

Lost should of been over BY NOW!!

No, way!!...my name is merlin and i'm a lostaholic...

LOST has been confirmed for 6 seasons (they just finished season 3 in the US).

Jericho was a bit "meh" to me - good concept but just had a bit of a B grade feel to it - should have been set in the city instead of some boring hick town.

Firefly is another good example of shows wrongly cancelled.

The problem with Lost is i dont think they expected it to be so popular, so they ran out of ideas, but of course if its popular you gotta keep throwing out episodes no matter the quality! All these stories written by hack writers about killer alien smoke and evil polar bears...bah humbug!!

Jericho has just been brought back for at least an additional 7 episodes as a result of the fans campaign

It started slowly but the episodes in the 2nd half if the 1st season (most of which 10 are yet to air) lifted the bar considerably

So what your saying is that if Firefly is to ever return, people need to send $52,000 worth of dead fireflies to the offices of wherever?

Something like that, not to mention making the heads of the network change their email addresses multiple times to stop their inbox being filled with messages from irate fans, make enough phone calls to regularly fill up their voicemail boxes etc. Also helps to get the cast behind your cause and posting messages of support across internet forums....

it was a huge effort to get jericho back, and has a lot of networks questioning the way they gather their ratings
