NBC's craptastic new show Outlaw, which was one of the worst new shows in my opinion, has been dealt a death blow by the network, halting production after five episodes. The remaining two will still air according to NBC and then Poof it will be gone. As predicted, the remaining new series are acting out the play And Then There Were None, with Undercovers, The Defenders, The Whole Truth, Law and Order:LA, and Detroit 187 all on the chopping block. Recent reviews for the L & O spin off have been dismal at best, getting scathing reviews by critics and fanboys alike. Adding dead weight like Terrance Howard couldn't have helped. Moving CSI:NY to Friday also seems to be a bone headed move with ratings plummeting. In CBS's defense though this was one of the only mistakes the network has made, unlike the others who have yet to have a qualified hit such as Hawaii 5-0 or Mike and Molly. Most of the above shows mentioned have less than a week to improve, especially Undercovers and Detroit 187 which probably won't last until Halloween.
Old shows aren't doing much better. Fox's The Good Guys is on life support and the Biggest Loser, once a ratings darling, appears to be on its last legs as it's ratings have tanked thus year. Fox's new comedy Running Wilde isn't and appears to be headed for the scrap heap any day now. Glee hit a rare speed bump with a faith oriented episode which probably didn't sit too well with Glee's obvious gay following. Way to slap your main demographic, Fox. What next? How about introducing a homophobic football captain who bursts into songs celebrating gay bashing. The main objective of any show runner is know your audience. Don't do any more faith episodes. Your demographic gets a little punchy when it comes to the Catholic Church. Getting called a sub human will do that. Dumbasses. On a side note, coming after that awful suicide by a Rutgers student who jumped of the GW, I implore people to stop the gay bashing. People who are gay are just like you and me and deserve the same amount of respect. Now kids can be cruel. In the past month alone, five young teenagers took their own life, two only 13. Teachers need to step in and stop this torment. And let's be clear. Anybody who is anti-gay is no better than the KKK or a freaking Nazi and should be treated a such. Only by demonizing those who do these horrible things to innocent people will this kind of torture stop. And to anybody who is gay out there and reading this, just remember that life does get better, gay or not for most of us. Suffer through their comments like the rest of us had to when were in school. Or better yet, take some nasty form of martial arts like Akkido or Bando and if someone tries to pick a fight with you then, show them how you learned to break a nose. The added "insult" of this loser getting beat up by a gay man will be an endless source of amusement for his friends who will make fun of him until the day he dies. Priceless. So for anyone gay or straight getting bullied: don't kill yourself, don't bring an arsenal to school. But learn to stand up for yourself and the world is your oyster.
