Boston Public & Television Exec Implementations

For the past two weeks, I noticed that one of my favorite shows on Television disappeared. Yesterday, I found out that it had been in fact cancelled by WE channel. I was so enraged, that I wrote an email to this very network.

Here it is:
"I just wondering what happened to Boston Public. It aired at 7:00 pmand 1:00 am weekdays. Now it has been replaced by Single in theHamptons. What gibbs?!?!?!?!I remember WE was also showing episodes of Felicity then it went off.Why can't you people make up your minds? There are a lot of faithfulviewers out there that watch quality shows like Felicity and BostonPublic, and who don't want to waste their time watching clichedreality shows like Single in the City.Give the people what they want."

This is what they replied:

"Thank you for contacting WE: Women’s Entertainment. We regret that we have had to pull "Boston Public" from the schedule. It has been replaced in the schedule by an original WE series, "Single In the City," which follows the lives of young, sexy singles in search of love and fun. "Single In the City" airs weeknights at 7pm ET/4pm PT. Click here: http://www.we.tv/article?CID=key%3D472%26tzOffset%3D0 to learn more about "Single in the City." Please be assured that your concerns are being shared with the scheduling department. The complete series is expected to be available on home video sometime this year. Again, thanks for your continued interest in our network."

So, Boston Public has moved to this stupid no-named network only available from DirectTv called TVone. This make me think about the role network exec play in the world of Television and Entertainment and the power they have.

If I were an T.V/Network exec, I would:

Bring Back Boston Public and show the last episodes of the last season.

Cancel CSI Miami and CSI: New York.

Cancel all reality-type shows except for Real World on Mtv.

Bring Back Futurama and The Tick Animated Series.

Bring Back Baywatch starring Carmen Electra and Lindsay Lohan with no David Hasselhoff this time.

Bring back Felicity and Dawson's Creek.

Rid Saturday morning of boring news programs and bring back the cartoons that became a Saturday morning ritual.

Cancel "Joey" on NBC.

Bring Back the reruns of Mr. Bean.

Limit The Apprentice Season Finales to thirty minutes rather than 2-3 hours.

Make the general public hate "Friends" by means of Overexposure by creating several spin-offs including Friends: NYC, Friends: Miami, Friends: Las Vegas and Friends: Long Island.

Create a quasi-serious drama about people who work at a rural public library.

Replace NBC News, CBS News, and ABC News with CNN Headline news.

Fire all the boring people on the Weather Channel with replace them with more interesting people.

Cancel all the Enzyte commericials with Bob and his "happy" wife.

Cancel Saturday Night Live.(lol)

Extend the Dave Chappell Show to one hour.

Cancel the Newly Weds: Nick and Jessica and The Ashley Simpson Show.

Resurrect TGIF Fridays on ABC.

Those are a few things I would if I were an TV/Network Executive.

LOL,you're sooooooooo hilarious!

I'd get rid of ALL reality shows except Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
You can keep Baywatch,though.
And I must say I loved the Enzyte commerical,it was just funny to me, I don't know why.

But I'd show the Travelocity commericals more.

And oh yeah, I'd make a channel for everyone who doesn't celebrate holidays to play on them and I'd make a Star Trek channel for us enthusists who'd rather be watching TNG than whatever crapola they're playing at the moment.
Always Yours,
