One of the biggest problems when starting to watch certain shows is trying to determine whether or not you should become attached. Fans of a number of shows in the last few years will tell you that they no longer want to become too invested in a new show for fear of it being cancelled before the story has been properly told.

Recent examples of TV shows that have developed a loyal fan base, only for their favourite show to be cancelled would be Firefly, Arrested Development and Jericho. All of these shows, critics and fans alike will tell you, were cancelled too early.

Well, a relatively new company in the World of television looks like it might become the saviour of cancelled shows. Netflix, the instant streaming company recently did a deal that will see Arrested Development’s long awaited (the show was cancelled by Fox in 2006) fourth season premiere on the Netflix streaming service some time next year.

Now, the buzz has started again, since it was made known that talks are ongoing about the possibility of Netflix picking up Jericho. Nothing has been decided yet and we can only hope but it makes sense for Netflix to increase it’s customer base by resurrecting shows that have a strong fan base. We wait with baited breath.

A great show, even if the short but well-deserved 2nd season’s episode arc felt a bit compressed and rushed through to a conclusion that was satisfying enough. Since Skeet Ulrich sorta got the shaft on his follow-up, perhaps he and some others may be available to lead a new effort but not everyone in the ensemble could sing on due to their present commitments. The storyline was certainly left open, even with the ending that was actually broadcast — a reboot could possibly start with the alternate ending, or start from the broadcast ending with efforts to expose the perfidy of the Cheyenne government and retake Nebraska and the rest of America.
I’ll vote for it!
