Also, none of the shows that are coming on to replace the bad shows going off seem any better, might as well continue the established plot lines of the current bad shows.
Because all shows usually lose some percentage of viewers with successive seasons. If a show has shitty ratings and no critical support in its first season odds aren't good that it'll turn into a smash success for its second season, but everyone loves the unknown tripe (at least for a little bit) so you get more of your monies worth with season 1 of something new and only potentially shitty than with season 2 of something guaranteed shitty.

Really, the best such a show can hope for is something like Fringe or Chuck where it has shitty ratings but a dedicated audience that will watch it whenever you air it. Then the network can just give it a shitty timeslot and all thirteen viewers will stay at home to watch it on Friday or whenever (it's Friday). Of course, your show needs to actually be good enough to have dedicated fans and not just narrative rubberneckers.

EDIT: I don't know what I'm looking forward to this summer...is Terra Nova coming out this summer? Or is that a fall one? Looked like the only interesting new thing...isn't there an Alien TV show coming out on TNT by Steven Spielberg? That also sounded interesting, what's the name of that show?
Going to be honest, I was about to call you out because I thought Terra Nova and the TNT show were the same thing, but they're actually two completely distinct and probably shitty sci-fi shows, so I was fooled. Falling Skies (AKA "TNT Presents: Noah Wylie Fightin' Aliens"*) will be airing as a miniseries or something this summer, Terra Nova keeps getting put on the schedule and then delayed, and will potentially never be aired (apparently they keep trying to 'fix' the special effects, but everyone who's read the script or watched the rough cut says that the more fundamental problem is the show's stupid plot and characters, not that the dinosaurs might not looks as realistic as possible).

*From the people who brought you "Noah Wylie Fightin' Chinese Epics" and "Noah Wylie Fightin' Books" and "Noah Wylie Fightin' Books 2: It's Personal"

I thought dinosaurs automatically made everything at least palatable, though. I'm pretty sure that's the entire reason the creators had them go back to 65 million B.C. to create a colony instead of pretty much any ensuing time period where they would not have to contend with giant man-eating lizard-birds.

Wait, what, where, when huh?

Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.

I forgot to say that today is the day that I pretend to be one of join the many desperate Firefly fans who have been clamouring for another series since 2003 even after already getting a movie. What more do we want!
... no but really I miss Firefly ...

At least Attorney General Eric Holder is demanding another season of The Wire. Or at least a movie. That's some bipartisan legislation I can get behind.

David Simon says it'll happen when Holder ends the War on Drugs, which is like the greatest trade imaginable in history.

Not cool to do cause I'm also a fan. >_>

Ah well, we got a movie and got to laugh in FOX's face for their stupidity.
