I’m still in my anger phase that the MLS sold their viewing rights to Apple TV. Now that the NFL is playing with the same idea (exclusive games on Peacock+), I’m getting really annoyed with that too. In both cases, the quality (both technically and broadcasters) is considerably worse and a it’s lot more expensive. I’ve come to the conclusion that where sports is concerned, streaming is evil.
Trouble is, at my age, a really good series, like Bosch et al, that is well written and performed, and keeps my attention, takes too long between seasons. Would kinda like to stick around for the finale but I don’t get to choose.
This arc is the clearest description of the short attention span that entertainment moguls like. Show viewer anything, numbers begin to fade, dump it, and throw out something else. Cheaper by the dozen.
We were enjoying streaming The Rockford Files. Then one night it was gone. I searched all the streaming stations that Comcast offers but nobody had Rockford Files. Strange.

I HATE when a show gets canceled without a proper ending.

I love it even the end is revealed that it was all a dream.

To end a series abruptly should be against a Producer’s Coda of Ethics.

Just as long as you don’t cancel Frank and Ernest.

The worst is when a show is cancelled in mid season and some episodes are never aired.

Take my love, take my land,
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don’t care, I’m still free,
You can’t take the sky from me.
Take me out to the black,
Tell them I ain’t comin back.
Burn the land and boil the sea,
You can’t take the sky from me.
There’s no place, I can be,
Since I’ve found Serenity.
And you can’t take the sky from me.
