For any number of reasons. And those of you that really love the shows you watch should be really really glad. <\/p>\n<p>Because just about everytime I start watching a<strong> long-running<\/strong> show regularly, it gets cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>I started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer regularly at the beginning of Season 7. Bye bye Buffy.<\/p>\n<p>I followed my favorite BtVS character Spike to Angel when he shifted over in Angel Season 5. Hasta la vista, Angel.<\/p>\n<p>Just this year, I started watching Stargate SG-1, mostly because it was on after\u00a0 Dr. Who on the Sci-Fi channel. I discovered I really liked Ben Browder and Claudia Black. Yup, you guessed it&#8230; this season (number 10) will be its last season on Sci-Fi. Announced yesterday. <\/p>\n<p>I had watched all of these shows from time to time before I started watching them regularly but hadn&#8217;t really gotten into them, again for a number of reasons not really relevant to this post. And as soon as I did, the party was over. <\/p>\n<p>BTW, this does not seem to happen when I watch a show from the beginning, so Bones and Dr. Who, the other two shows I enjoy these days, should be fairly safe since I&#8217;ve watched Dr. Who off and on since Dr. Number 3 and Bones since the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>So, if there are shows you really really like, and would prefer I <strong>NOT<\/strong> watch, please feel free to let me know in the comments. And if there is a series you&#8217;d like to see gone, I&#8217;ll see what I can do. Unless it is Stargate Atlantis. Can&#8217;t get into that show at all, so you are on your own. Sandy,\u00a0 I&#8217;ll do my best to stay away from Battlestar Galactica.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I am now TIVO&#8217;ing Farscape repeats and watching my Firefly and Remington Steele DVDs.\u00a0 I figure that&#8217;s safe, since those shows are already cancelled. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><small>Tags: <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Stargate\">Stargate<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Buffy\">Buffy<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Angel\">Angel<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Farscape\">Farscape<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Firefly\">Firefly<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/science+fiction\">science fiction<\/a><\/small><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t watch much television.
