The CW Is Dead to Me
Between the ending of Gilmore Girls and the cancellation of Veronica Mars, the only CW show that I watch is Beauty and the Geek. I have decided, however, to take a principled stand: if they were going to cancel VM—GG ended of its own accord—I was going to quit watching B&tG. As such, my TiVos are now set to fully ignore the local CW affiliate.
You might think I’m crazy. I’m just a drop in the bucket. But in kowtowing more to the bottom line—the short-term point of view—than the quality of the shows on the channel—the long-term point of view—the CW convinced me that they’re not worth my time.
If nothing else, it makes me feel better, which is typically 90% of the point of protests anyway. Besides, everyone needs something to be visibly and viscerally angry about, if for no other reason than to vent pent-up aggressions that otherwise eat at the body. Certainly none of the underlying problems are solved, but sometimes, you gotta whomp on something to get over it.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to find Clarence Weidman’s number to have him do a little “business” for me.
I would totally bail on the CW since VW was cancelled… however, I still really love Supernatural which continues to be a blast. Other than that, there’s nothing else worth watching on it and the loss of VW will leave scars.

May 25th, 2007 at 12:44VM is cancelled?! What?! Right as I’m really beginning to enjoy the show and the cancel it?! Okay, now I’m seriously upset. Where’s Guido?
