Spoiler alert

Ok, this is for all those gullible (like me) to watch a couple of tv shows this summer. Those who have no life or have a dvd recorder to record shows then watch later when their summers get turned into autumn and they have the time to watch their summer fare..  Well not so fast there..  Here is the show many got hooked on this past summer.. And about half way through the ratings were so good they decided to add  a second season.. A second season added to a mini series that was supposed to run only until it ended, I liked that idea, this should be cool.. Guess what??  They added the second season to what seamed like an impossible situation with so many characters dying every week.. So... I'm talking of course about Under The Dome, taking place in a small New England town of Cobblers Nob.. And that is exactly how I felt after watching the final episode of this show.. A NOB.. Here is the "kick the puppy" episode or more to the point the final bit (hence the spoiler alert entry name) ....  as the clock ticked closer to the top of the hour I knew I wasn't going to be happy with the ending.. You judge.. Hide your doggies first..

I also picked Siberia on the Not really a Broadcast Channel (NBC) and again another kick the dog ending.. I knew it would be that way.. As they stumbled into the town that was abandoned and searched for signs of life all I could think is this is the town next to Chernobyl, but then you realize it can't be.. They are in supposedly Siberia (hence the name) and also if you really want to get technical the show was filmed in Canada.. Another burst your bubble moment there.. But the way it ended was just..  I guess it will have a second season.. Or it won't, remember the show The Event from last year or two years ago??  there you go, the grand fuck you from a network that really doesn't care for their viewers.. And CBS as well did the same thing..

Cliffhangers??  If you want to give them that excuse.. Stephen King wrote the book that Under the dome was based on, and Steven Spielberg directed it..  Will they all return for next season??  And Siberia was done by???    A bunch of disappointed creative people.. Hey I liked the idea, and it had promise but I'm betting this ending was in fact the end of the show.. Any takers on that bet??

And so on to the season that is the fall disappointment to come.. NBC has nowhere to go but up seeing how out of the four networks they finished in fifth place last season.. That's right, they finished in back of the spanish channel.. Only joking there, but they did finish in fifth place, behind the all monkeys all the time channel..  They have some shows that might be good but they will have to let them run more than two or three episodes to gain traction.. Some shows that are well established might falter this season..  As for me, I try to watch the shows I like and the time shift the others.. So much to choose from and you add Canada and England and Australia and suddenly there is a lot to watch..

Happy Hunting..
