Cable tv will remove incredible, quality shows to throw in more reality tv and a 40th version of some kind of NCI

I would guarantee you "Black Mirror" would never make it on cable television and it's the best thing I have ever seen.

I started to watch "Limitless" on netflix and I was utterly amazed by the writing and the overall enjoyment. The problem was...I never even knew limitless a show was a thing...until I saw it on Netflix.

With this said, I really believe the television show on a cable network will be the way of the dodo soon.

The idea of putting incredible shows on a site such as netflix or amazon prime is the possible future.

Cable television has killed off SO MANY good shows and they blame it on ratings. Yes. Sometimes it is because of ratings. Sometimes its because of poor marketing.

I just finished watching the last episode. Very sad that it is over. I invested myself in this series and am bummed that it didn't make it to a season 2.

This show was based on what stupid people think smart people are like. Case in point, OP: this wasn't created by a cable network. It was created by a broadcast network. Go solve a freaking Rubik's cube.

Kinda like people that revive dead threads just so they can be a douche?

Rubik's cubes bore me. So does intellectual sloppiness. There's no such thing as a dead board, but there is such a thing as a dead, bad, dimwitted TV show. Because topics remain in perpetuity, until a site dies, I often post for posterity, for those who come after, to expose them to other views.

Please explain how this intellectually bankrupt show is "kinda like" me.

And I have a cock and am a dick, so I don’t need to douche.

Except for the fact that it was a CBS show! 🙄
