TV Shows That Ended Too Soon.

My last two blogs posts mentioned watching TV, so why not make it third? Really, I think that this is a sign that my television watching is getting out of hand. I need to read more. I've only read three books so far this year. That's sad. 
Anyway, I don't know how the TV show making world works, but I do know that some of my most beloved shows don't get a real chance. We have dumb shows like Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Secret Life of the American Teenager and Teen Mom that last for several awful seasons. Meanwhile, all of the shows that are actually awesome are just shoved under the rug. It makes me angry, because some of these shows are left with no ending. Everyone is just left wondering where the crap was this show going, unless the show ends up being based on a book or something. Even then, the show and book end up being vastly different.

Dollhouse

I can't believe this show only got two seasons. My theory is that it was aired on Fridays, and people usually go out on Fridays, so no one cared to watch it. This show was created by the same person who made Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Marvel's The Avengers, so you know the elements of the show were creative and made you think. Dollhouse was about underground establishments populated with dolls, which were people that chose to give up a year of their life, usually due to a tragedy they weren't ready to face. During this year, they live in the dollhouse and are imprinted with different personalities for clients who pay large sums of money. The dolls are used for whatever the client needs, such as being imprinted with the personality of a loved one who has passed away, being used as a spy or as a temporary mother. It was just such a fascinating concept to me. The show did have an ending of sorts, but you can tell that the last few episodes were rushed because they had to think of a way to end it.

Lie to Me Jon and I watched this show together on Netflix on a whim. We both ended up really liking the concept of the show. It's about a man who is essentially a human lie detector. He is hired by many people to read faces and body language to figure out if people are lying. It was a crime series that made me wish that I could read faces. The last episode leaves you hanging with some romantic episodes, and it would have been the perfect segway into another season.

Life Unexpected This series isn't as intense as the two aforementioned series. It's about a girl who has grown up in many foster homes. She wants to file for emancipation, but she needs her parents to sign these papers. She ends up living with her biological mom, and a lot of drama ensues. I wanted to watch this show because Roswell was one of my favorite shows when I was younger, and Shiri Appleby from that show is also in Life Unexpected, and I just love her. This show was canceled after two seasons, and it does have an ending; however, the last five minutes just transport you two years forward. Even though everything I wanted to happen happened, it would have been nice to see how it all folded out. You can tell that they just kind of threw together this ending because they had to, and a couple of elements in the last scene just didn't make sense. I was disappointed.

Firefly Another series created by Joss Whedon. It was set in 2517 and followed a group of people aboard a ship called Serenity. This show literally just ended. There was so much they could have done with it. Even though it was eventually made into a movie, Serenity, a movie that I love, I really would have liked to see the more important elements play out slowly on TV. I don't think the show got a fair shot.

Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 Okay, I know this show was just a silly little sitcom, but I think it's much better than a few of the sitcoms they have on TV now, like Two Broke Girls. I can't even sit through an episode of that show. This show followed a girl from a small town who moved to New York City and became roommates with a party girl. This show was laugh out loud funny, and the perfect show to watch over dinner after a long day at work or while brushing Molly.

The Secret Circle This show only lasted for one season, and it was based on a book, so maybe I will end up reading it. It's about a girl who moves to Washington after her mother dies, and she finds out that she's a witch. She and five others create a secret circle, and after doing so, they're faced with lots of supernatural challenges that they have no idea how to face. I recently watched this show on Netflix because it recommended it to me. I thought it was excellent. The season finale made it look like the next season, if they would have made one, was going to be amazing. I'm sad that I'll never get to know what happens.

It saddens me that there are so many shows out there that don't get a real chance. It could be because of marketing or because they play while other popular shows are on TV, so they don't get as much exposure as the creators would have hoped. What are some cancelled TV shows that you wish were given another chance?

Connecting with people, I know it's kind of a cliche answer but it seriously been so much fun getting to know people from around the world. Also, all the opportunities from blogging like going on Blogcation (Tiffany will be one of my roommates!).

What motivates you?

Oddly enough, watching YouTube vloggers really motivates me. Just watching all the things they have accomplished in their lives and all these things they dreamed about actually happening.

If you could live a day in the life of anyone, dead or alive, who would you choose and why?

Jennifer Lawrence, she just seems super awesome and if she's still filming the next Hunger Games movie I'd get to kiss Josh Hutcherson.

What song are you currently obsessed with?

The Fire by Kina Grannis, I heard it on youtube and bought the song on iTunes before it was over!
