I am so sick and tired of getting into good shows like Emergence just to hear that they’re getting canceled. Good shows like The Passage, Under the Dome and Red Band Societee.

How does an audience trust one who offers a new and engaging premise, especially with the record on not giving a show the chance to fully become. Guess I can just stick with the “Wolf” creations and watch NBC only.
