When Will I Learn?!

I debated whether or not to start this show after a few episodes had aired and I decided to start watching. I got really into it - just a fun, fast-paced, action-packed show. Yes, a bit silly and unbelievable, but whatever, I enjoyed it.

JUST as the mystery is getting good, NBC reduces the order to 9. W.T.F., NBC?! 

I don't understand why they had to reduce from 13 to 9 - did they really save that much money by not airing those final 4 episodes?

I think I've honestly had it with NBC...😭

Word. They could have given them notice and allowed them to wrap it up. But they didn't want it to do well. The suits had already decided it was an either or situation with player and blind spot. It seemed that they decided before they aired. I only saw how good the player was going to be from a clip on a talk show on the hallmark channel lol. Blind spot was advertised like crazy. Then as soon as they reduced the episode order of player they announced this huge cast primed and ready to take its time slot. I wish someone else had been able to pick up the player in the first place. Or that NBC would just move it to USA.

Its basically what the boss at CBS said years ago with JERICHO. If 22 year olds don't go crazy over it ...forget it. That's the age group the main commercial networks are looking for because they are more likely to blow their money on what ever is in the commercials seems sad but true.
