The Skin

Just like Romeo and Juliet The Skin is dead. 3 episodes and it got the boot. I guess they'll have to fill the void with When <random something> attacks or Celebrity Boxing

Damn, before I even got to see one episode.

 

They should have had it on Wednesday before The O.C.

Yeah, that would of been a good spot for it.

 

Wednesdays are just TOO crowded, though.

Yeah, after the 2,300th time hearing that in the ads I made up my mind that I wasn't going to watch it

I hate Fox.

 

Not that Skin was a good show, but they didn't give it a chanc at all. I thought the premise was pretty good, and the story would ave -playe out well, since ll R+J stories do. This is just another shown that Fox canceled due to it hnot imediatly getting great ratings.

 

Somebody better tell Fox that you gotta let shows grow into their own niche.

 

5 Bucks says we ge a lame ass reality show instead.

Well, it's just exactly what happened to that show during the 2002 playoffs...what was the name of that? Girls Club? It got cancelled after like, 3 weeks.

 

maybe people just get tired of the fucking commercials being shown every 12 seconds.

Don't be mad at just Fox about that. ALL of the networks do the exact same thing.

 

You should instead be mad at Fox for showing those goddamn promos for Skin during EVERY SINGLE COMMERCIAL BREAK. That's why I didn't watch; their constant promotion of the show just pissed me off to no end and left me with zero desire to see the show, and I'd wager that thousands of other people felt the same way. Add that in with the fact that Fox, during the baseball playoffs, constantly crammed an extra Skin/Joe Millionaire promo in during commercial breaks, thus overlapping actual game action (i.e. they suddenly cut back to the game with the count already 0-1 on the hitter), and I was left one pissed off viewer.

 

I actually wanted to see this show fail because of that.

I saw the first episode. If my memory correctly recalls, the beginning was like ... Fastlane meets The Matrix meets Bulletproof Monk meets the most rockin' Papa Roach song ever. And then they all meet that girl's jerk boyfriend and his crew of yuppie hoods, so the guy and the girl have to split like bananas and meet (at) the diner. And then the rest is essentially me meeting between the sandman and a half-waking state that hates me for trying to finish the hour.

 

I didn't think this would last for too long. The premise was pretty thin for a series, so sooner or later they would've had to look into some different directions. I couldn't see them being able to go full-focus with the romance past the first season without it being totally sucked dry.

I'm suprised it didn't last at least the season. The girl was very cute, the guy was a teeny boppers wet dream, and her dad was a porn king. On the last show I saw, a young girl was making the decision whether she wanted to do porn or not. I thought it was a good story. The supposed good guy (The district attorney) was actually an ass, plus cheating on his wife, while the supposed bad guy (The Porn King) was giving money to charity, keeping his daughter clean, yet using porn stars to secure business deals. It beats so much of the crap that remains on the air.

YES. (Was is three weeks? I thought it was less than that!)

 

And thank God it got aborted before growing fingers and toes.

 

Personally, I always wondered why that show got pimped during football -- not exactly a target audience for that show...

Someone told me Titus is being brought back. I hope that's just a sick joke, Titus sucked.

Tru Calling will probably be the next Fox show to get the ax.

 

The first episode got a 3.3, last week a 2.8. Granted they stuck it on the toughest night, but they are appealing to 18-24 males, which is the smallest ratings demographic there is. Plus 18-24 males viewership is down big time this year.

I watched Tru Calling tonight. It was reasonably decent but the premise just seems a bit too cheesy.

I've only seen one episode because I have class 6-9 and always forget to record it.

 

I thought it was a pretty decent show and not too cheesy. Well I am a BIG fan of Buffy and Angel, so cheesy I see all the time.
