How can a show be considered a failure if it's been on for 10 years before it's canceled?

Who's saying it was a failure? I am glad it went off before it became stale. This way were left wanting more.

How can a show that had managed to revive itself with a new cast, when it's main big name left, and be better than ever, get cancelled while it's now crappy sister show changes it's cast and goes completely trashy? That's what I want to know.

Oh it's just something I see from time to time around GW. It just annoyed me. My personal feeling is that I would have liked to have seen it end a little sooner. The thing is I respect the fact people would miss it and so I wouldn't go around saying every where that I want it to end.

I agree. It could have gone off sooner. But I think most all TV shows suffer from this a bit. I have my days on GW where I feel like a raving maniac. I should stop going there. :D

I'll admit the first five years of sg1 are my favorite, but I'd agree the changes to Atlantis are far worse than the changes to sg1.

Heh, I've quit posting in on topic areas and spend most of my posting time in off topics are the fun and games area these days. Oops I think I mss read your comment. I thought you were speaking of other GW posters as raving maniacs.

Have you gotten a chance to convert the song I sent you?

LOL no problem. Some days I don't know if I am hormonal or what, but I can be witchy!

Oh I know those days. My computer screen really gets it on those days. :D

Depends on what they mean by failure...

Although, I tend to agree generally. It was on for 10 years, that's gotta say something...

[sapphs.livejournal.com]

True that.

I understand if someone is talking about specific issues they felt were the cause of its cancellation.

I don't know. The comments I've seen seem to say the show should just keep going and if it's ever canceled then it's a bad thing. To me cancellation can be a good thing. I don't like to see my favorite show run into the ground. Of course I realize that's a subjective pov and it varies from person to person how long is too long for a show to last.

Heh but it was canceled because changed were bad and popularity declined.
I see the same thing happening to Atlantis... so I'm sure season 5 is the last one.
