There are a lot of shows with high production values that seem to have big gaps in between episodes (my favorites among these are Lost, Heroes, Friday Night Lights and, of course, Jericho). I think the networks and the producers of these shows should take a look at what Fox has done with 24. It hurts like crazy to wait until February for a new season to begin, but then it’s an unbroken season that I can enjoy without the hassle of taxing my aging memory to remember all the plot twists. They need to figure out a whole season’s (and beyond when necessary) sequence of events and then get those episodes ready to run without interruption for 3-4 months. Spread them out between the fall and the spring (maybe even summer).

And for crying out loud, don’t put them in the same time slot as another hit show, or at least not one of the same genre. Put them opposite the reality or game shows, or the lame comedies, and let them duke it out.

While it is true that this fight looks like an uphill battle ( as in going up Mt. Everest) we are determined to get some kind of resolution, and this posting will help in showing our fight to the world!

In this case, CBS have already gone on record as saying they’ll offer some form of closure to make up for the cliffhanger ending:

What people really should rally together over is the trend of cliffhanger endings at season finales. This is not the first show that has left people hanging because the producers didn’t think they might get canceled and their overarching vision for the story was never revealed.

Perhaps with today’s webisode trend, there’s an opportunity here for shows to be scaled down rather than canceled and order a dozen 5 minute smaller episodes. The production costs wouldn’t be as high, you could limit it to a few characters and still make money through sponsorship.

At _least_ this way you’re not pissing the fans off completely and don’t risk alienating them from future shows on the network.
