Season 1 of Terminator was good, season 2 not so much. Prison Break is shockingly good this season, they really turned that show around aftera an awful season last year.

Heroes and Chuck are the 2 best shows on TV right now, and while neither is perfect, they are far better than most other shows.

To The TV companies[/b] : Stop using cliffhanger endings at the end of a show's season. If you decide to cancel the show then you won't have wasted our time with a non-finished storyline.

Don't remind me, remember what happened with ALF? They ended the season on a cliffhanger with him being captured, and then...cancelled. WTF? A few years later they did make a movie to tie up the story but it had none of the original cast and was just horrible.

Going back to international stations fighting for rights, FOX are kind of in a win win situation, well, at least Rupert Murdoch is! They "sell" shows like Prison Break and 24 to Sky, which comes of out of and goes back in to Murdoch's pocket anyway! So, it hardly costs the cash injector anything and then they get the added viewer subscription fees in addition to cash from other international stations that Murdoch doesn't own paying for his shows.

Conversely you can say that FOX are biting their own ass by not letting other stations (especially Free to Air - Heroes BBC, Prison Break formally on Five) stations pay for the shows. Hence they would gain revenue from an external source and not lose subscriber fees because those channels are free to air anyway.

I don't know what everyone elses thoughts on the situation is, but why should ratings matter so much when you are clearly making money? Isn't that business? Especially in the current "credit crunch" climate we are in!

Man, they should re-cancel family guy.. That one last night SUCKED.

I wholeheartedly agree. I choose to ignore every episode after the cancellation, anyway. The show is so fundamentally different that it's hard not to. That isn't to say that Family Guy isn't occasionally funny, but it certainly has "The Simpsons Syndrome."

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
