I wanted Tru Calling to get cancelled so I wouldn't have to watch it anymore.

I'm downloading the second season premiere right now. We'll see if they were really improving tomorrow.

I too prayed for The Swan and all of Fox's Surprise! He's Actually Gay! reality shows to die fiery deaths that took their creators with them. But as far as fiction goes, I don't think I've ever rooted that strongly for anything to be cancelled, figuring that they're not destroying real people's lives and someone somewhere must enjoy them.

Rather funny and kind of sad thread at Whedonesque that started off as "vote to save Point Pleasant!" then got derailed into "PP is godawful and totally needs to be cancelled," "I've voted for Veronica Mars instead," "Me, too!"

Yeah, I followed a "save PP" link from Buffy News, and voted for Veronica Mars instead. Other than the fact that I'm watching it, I can't understand why the ratings for VM suck the way they do. Even with a guest spot by Alyson Hannigan, the ratings still sucked. Great show, though.

I can't understand it either. for the past couple of weeks i've been pimping the hell out of it. if it gets canned it will be akin to the heartbreak i felt when Wonderfalls was cancelled.

I actually watched all but the last ep of PP. Or at least sat there while it was on. I thought that the marketing for it was great though- it made me really want it to be as good as the commercials.

I'll even flist her.

I'm guessing I'm the only one who first read this as Allyson offering to fist Marti.

Dude. So weird. The second season premiere of Tru Calling? Good!

There's good character conflict, it's less formulaic, there's less rewind filler, there's already the beginnings of an arc. It's such an improvement.

I was wishing for its demise before, but now I'm very interested in seeing the rest of the filmed episodes, and I probably would have watched the second season without feeling as dirty. I mean, it's no Wonderfalls, but I bet it's better than Point Pleasant.

Thank you, Cranberry. I'll get around to e-mailing selina eventually. Sorry to bug you about it here.

If Veronica Mars gets cancelled after this season, I'll be much sadder than when Wonderfalls was cancelled. Don't get me wrong, I loved and adored Wonderfalls, but VM has got me more interested than any show since Buffy. Even Firefly didn't grab me as much.
