[rant] So Girlpants and I have started to watch a few different series on the box, just to make a difference around the CSI, CSI Miami, CSI NY, Forensic Files and New Yankee Workshop that we have spilling out of our heads and onto the floor.

So we had a look and stared to watch

• Medical Investigation - cancelled after 1st season
• Threshold - cancelled after 1st season
• Killer Instinct - cancelled after 1st season
• Bones - still going....thank God!
• House - ditto
• Kitchen Confidential - cancelled after 1st season
• Green Wing - cancelled after 2nd season

Why, why, why? What is wrong with these people in the big seats!!? Have we started so now we can't finish? Can they not see that when something is critically acclaimed and has a cult following, then it's a good thing. Maybe even something to resurrect, like:

• Futurama - cancelled but rumoured to be returning 2008
• Family Guy - cancelled, then reinstated 
• Doctor Who - cancelled after the Americans tried to work it, now back!

It really drives me mad that you start to get onto a good thing and then it dies an early premature death. Fox cancelled Family Guy AND Futurama but kept The Simpson thing limping into the everleasting and deary sunset. Where's the next season of Black Books? The long promised Red Dwarf the movie? Or Futurama the movie?? And did you really have to quit on Green Wing? The least they could do is let people know when they cancel series instead of them sliding by the wayside and hoping no-one will notice.

Gah! It's enough to make your teeth ache.

Thank God for South Park, thats all I can say..!!
