Every year there are "those shows" that get cancelled for whatever reason on certain channels or, in some cases, from TV all together; and every year people freak out about it, so why does it happen? Recently there was a list posed on the Eoline of some of these shows (http://www.eonline.com/news/591841/and-the-first-canceled-new-show-of-the-fall-is), and every year there are at least a good handful of people that complain.
I believe that the reasons for canceling shows seems some what legitimate, new and more popular shows come out and TV channels only have room for a certain amount, but how do they choose which ones stay and which ones go? It's not like they can look up the number of people that watch a select show and choose that way. I think that they choose by how old the show is, if the show has been aired for what they believe as "long enough" they boot it out. It would make sense right? Just parallel to the ways of society, a phone is out for a month and people get bored expecting a new kind of phone to come out with all new features.In my opinion we have lost one of the most important aspects in these types of cases and that is quality. If a show is of great quality and gets mass amounts of views and is talked about, why not leave it on a little longer? When it comes down to it when we turn a TV on it's because we want to watch and be entertained by a good show, regardless of if it's new or not. That is why I believe that any get so upset every year of the shows that are passed on to make room for others, because the choosing isn't done fairly.
Take Ellen for example, people threw a fit when that show was moved to a different channel and a different time, but for whatever reason, that was already decided. I think in these types of issues we need to look a little further than just the old verses the new. I believe that many of us would be surprised at just how deceiving age can be.
