That great philosopher Gomer Pyle once opined: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."I thought about this when I read in Broadcasting and Cable that drama series in development for next year will be "close-ended."
B&C reports that, "Although the flurry of serial dramas in the mode of Lost and 24 are premiering this season, it's the traditional, closed-ended formats that will likely rule the 2007-2008 season."
Personally, I have no interest in watching these new shows, such as ABC's The Nine or NBC's Kidnapped.
Why would I want to get hooked on another Lost? Isn't Lost -- with its slow, slow development and resolution of the plot -- frustrating enough?
With shows like these, I always suspect we may have another Twin Peaks on our hands -- a show with no satisfying ending.
This is why it'd be a big "shame on me" if I wasted any time on Vanished.
