My Generation

I saw an advertising for this show a while ago and it looked interesting. Once I saw the date that it came on, I reminded myself to make sure I watched it. Even though that was in September, I didn't watch it until today, and I found it actually to be pretty good and interesting. After watching the first two episodes I noticed that was all there was. After reading the reviews at the bottom I saw that it had gotten canceled by ABC. They said it wasn't enough viewers on the night of the premiere, which I heard it was recorded to be 3.2 million. So I don't if that's not a lot in the television department but I honestly don't understand why just after two episodes they would let this show go. Sure it started off kind of slow, but as it picked up the show became more interesting. I'm not going to go off and say that it's one of the best shows out there, but it was different show, a pretty great show at that. The creator tried something different, and made a show about what actually happens in real life. It starts off as a camera crew captures the senior year of ten teenagers then ten years later shows up to check up on them and see how they are. Of course a great deal has change because that's what actually happens in life. Even though I only been out of high school for not even a year, I can surely tell that a lot changes from high school to what you think will happen to what actually will happen. From people to friendships and relationships a great deal can change. I believe the writers were trying to capture that idea of what really happens in life, the things people are challenged with or how they grow over the years. This show had a lot of potential and I'm actually kind of mad they cancelled it. Though I saw the creator Noah Hawley's twitter and he talked about how he's trying to find a new home ( network) for the show and I was glad. He also stated that ABC is letting them put out the rest of the season which is eight episodes. I barely watch new shows these days besides a few ( like Modern Family, which I encourage all of you to watch. That show is love) but even though I might be 'young' in some people mind television is not like it use to be. Networks care more about money than they do about the quality they put out. As long as the money is coming in I guess it doesn't matter if they put out dirt. I may not know for sure what happened between this show and ABC nor may I know why it was cancelled but I think it was a bad decision. This show may not have drunk Italians fist pumping throughout the show or crazy housewives broadcasting every inch of their drama filled lives but it does show about real life and what dramatic changes and surprises happens in people lives. How they picture their self one way and ended up another, it has some kind of realness, which I like. I recommend you'll to just go on hulu.com and watch the first two episodes to see for yourself and come up with your own opinion. Feel free to share your thoughts with me too, if you like it or not. I just believe it's different then a lot of shows out here now and brings something unique to television. Besides some of the cliches, it still delivers a good point.

If you decide that you enjoyed the show, you can sign a petition to try to get it back on air here if you would like to see it continued.
