i think that there should be some sort of Rebellion or Revolution of
Viewers concerning how Television programming is produced...!
From now on; All programming that is bought by a network must have a
fixed time limit or number of episodes... And if the network wants to
continue the show after that limit, then they can go in some new
direction.
Shows that meet this criteria might be The Lost Room, Veronica Mars,
No Where Man and others that essentially lasted one season, wrapped it
up, and in the case of Veronica Mars, just started a new ArchMythos
with Season two.
The Lost Room & No Where Man could easily have been extended if they
their weren't so weird and were canceled.
( The Lost Room may have been a miniseries and never intended for
serialization, although it could have been )
In the case of John Doe; it would seem that the producers Never had
any idea where it was going, based on answers to viewers questions
after it was canceled.
To my way of thinking; That is extremely evil.
