I don't trust Fox. I will wait til it gets renewed for a second season before I even watch it.

Firefly Never Forget!

Again, Batman is a cash cow these days. I imagine even Fox will think twice about just flushing it down the toilet. And that's such a silly mentality. It basically says "If I knew they were going to cancel Firefly then I would have never watched it in the first place and would still to this day be completely ignorant of it." I've loved plenty of shows that got cancelled after the first season and I don't regret getting into them. Better to have loved and lost and all that.

Oh, and the new season of Louie. Still great.

Don't get too attached though, NBC just cancelled it.

Yep yep yep

House of Cards is really good.

The fanbase, which has campaigned for it so hard every season, also seems to have given up on Community. Shocking, since it wasn't exactly like the past season was a lost cause; it was a real return to form and very creatively fulfilling (albeit alienating from time to time).

I haven't watched the last season and a half as I was waiting for a DVD release in the UK (probably not gonna happen) so I will binge soon.

It is intensely Dan Harmon. You will enjoy it, I am certain.

I enjoyed the few I saw where he wasn't involved. Half way through whatever season that was. Only stopped because I started watching something else and never got back into the habit.

Oh, fair enough. Season 4 was not at all for me, so I have been very excited throughout 5. But you'll have a good ride.

There is five seasons worth of content to go through. He can get attached. It also isn't the type of series that needed a proper conclusion.

I am not giving Fox the benefit of the doubt regardless of the content. So what that it is Batman related. If they aren't getting the ratings they want they will pull it. Money trumps fan base majority of the time.
I would be perfectly fine with not having invested that time waiting each week for a new episode if I knew that it would be cancelled. I am on the side of never having loved at all.

Shows that only last one season then get canceled is so heart breaking.
