“What do you think about The Good Wife<\/em> now that CBS has decided to show reruns of old episodes over and over? They ruined a good show.”<\/p>\n I decided that rather than post the comment on the entry about the show, I would take this opportunity to write exactly<\/strong> how I feel about this:<\/p>\n Yes, Ray T, CBS has ruined a good show. I am absolutely incredulous every time the “high-ups” of one of the\u00a0major networks think\u00a0they can “get by”\u00a0with this sort\u00a0of thing. Rather than promote a new show during its first season, and treat the viewers with respect, they pull this type of lame-brained trick. Quite frankly, I\u00a0would think that the major networks have a difficult enough time trying to attract viewers from all of the other channels that are available today.<\/p>\n I remember the first year that I became aware of this type of\u00a0 major network shuffle, the \u00a0“air-six-episodes-during-twelve-weeks” game. It was the year that ER<\/em> premiered. I considered myself “hooked” on that show…. until I saw that they started showing repeats of the brand new show over and over, and over again!<\/p>\n That’s when I found out that I really wasn’t that “hooked” on the show. I left it, and never looked back! Unfortunately, The Good Wife<\/em> is not the only show with which the major networks\u00a0are\u00a0pulling this sort of stunt. I simply don’t have the patience to be strung-along. A show had better be downright wonderful for me to stay with it once the network decides to keep RE-airing the same shows.<\/p>\n And, as long as I’m writing about The Good Wife<\/em>,\u00a0 I have to admit that I am getting VERY TIRED of the whole subplot involving the son hiding important black-mail items that arrive at their apartment.\u00a0Right!\u00a0>>> My dad’s in jail, and is being framed, but I’m not going to let my parents know about this black-mailing stuff that is intended for them. >>> Good grief! That got old for me the fourth time they tried to incorporate it into the plot!\u00a0<\/p>\n (That’s right, I am still with the show, although I have to admit that I am on the fence about dropping it.)<\/p>\n Now I’ll get off my\u00a0soap box….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday, Ray T posted this comment: “What do you think about The Good Wife now that CBS has decided to show reruns of old episodes over and over?
