The CW's vast wasteland
An excerpt from Newton Minnow's Vast Wasteland Speech to the National Association of Broadcasters on May 9, 1961: <
> <
>"When television is good, nothing--not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers--nothing is better. <
> <
>But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, profit and-loss sheet or rating book to distract you--and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland. <
> <
>You will see a procession of game shows, violence, audience-participation shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western badmen, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence and cartoons. And, endlessly, commercials--many screaming, cajoling and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you will see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, try it. .... <
> <
>Why is so much of television so bad? I have heard many answers: demands of your advertisers; competition for ever-higher ratings; the need always to attract a mass audience; the high cost of television programs; the insatiable appetite for programming material--these are some of them. Unquestionably these are tough problems not susceptible to easy answers. <
> <
>But I am not convinced that you have tried hard enough to solve them . . . and I am not convinced that the people's taste is as low as some of you assume." <
> <
> <
>My taste is certainly not that low. Goodbye CW, let the WB Rest In Peace. May the CW's grave be a million miles away from yours!

Veronica Mars Season Three (There should be more)
The CW has got to be the most pathetic TV network (next to FOX, where it seems no shows last any longer than 2 years, but we get TWO NIGHTS of AMERICAN IDIOT, I mean, IDOL!!, yet great shows on FOX such as Tru Calling, Dark Angel and Firefly bit the dust far too soon). <
> <
>The CW killed their best show, Veronica Mars, by halting it's third season by showing America a generic RockStar/American Dufus(oops!Idol) televised search for...THE NEXT PUSSYCAT DOLL????!!! <
> <
>When this happened, I was like, This is TRULY the end of new quality TV being aired. <
> <
>Veronica Mars was a breath of fresh air to the TV airwaves after losing BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and ANGEL (yet another show that was patheticly cancelled by the CW's former, WB, way too soon). Veronica Mars had great, young actors, clever dialogue and involved great twists and turns with it's crime solving/mystery story-telling..But, then again, maybe that's why the show didn't last: IT TOLD STORIES and INVOLVED ACTING!!! Unlike the irrational forms of "entertainment" fodder that, sadly, too many americans swallow and think they are getting quality TV.. <
> <
>The only show that is worth watching on the CW now is SUPERNATURAL (Some of you may say what about SMALLVILLE? Sorry, that kid who plays Clark Kent just isn't believable as the boy of still, I mean steel, my opinion). Let's hope SUPERNATURAL won't get the Third Season axe like Veronica Mars with the CW pre-empting the show with the likes of Searching for the new Boy Band! <
> <
>Glad there are the Discovery and Sci Fi Channels... <

The best show you've never seen
This show is why I turn on the television every week. If you've never seen this show, you should definitely check it out. It's not your typical teen show. It's smart, sassy, intriguing, and just plain genius. If you enjoy truly great tv, Veronica Mars is a must see. Although the 3rd season is its last, Veronica Mars is well worth getting into and loving.
