It seems that a show is only good enough when it is "main stream" popular. Who cares how big a following the show has after it has aired its last episode, who cares how much merchandise from the show goes for on e-bay, and who cares about petitions going around to spin movies off of the shows (even if one movie has already been done).
What show am I speaking of? The WB and UPN's cash cow from the late 90s - early 00's. Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
This show is highly underrated in today's society but, has such a huge fan base that I think is personally misunderstood.
Re-runs from the show used to air every morning on FX. First, it was 2 episode's back to back, then it dropped to one episode, then they moved it to one show on Saturday and Sunday morning only and now, well, it has been dropped permanently from the schedule.
Like I said, OH NO THEY DIDN'T! Instead, let's show re-runs of shows still currently running on tv!!! Does that even make sense?
I thought re-runs were supposed to be for shows that are no longer on the air, that have been cancelled and finished, am I wrong in assuming this? Maybe I am. But maybe television exec.'s need to actually go back and re-think this re-run situation.
I think "Nick at Nite" has the best presentation when it comes to showing re-runs. Probably have outstanding ratings due to the older shows that they show. If FX, Spike TV, or even Nick at Nite pick up Buffy for the re-runs and advertise it, one of those networks would see such a ratings boom, its not even funny.
Come on TV, get with the program. Pardon the pun.
