Don't be an agist feck. The last one got deleted off this thread for it.

PP here. Sorry, I'll let you get back to your TV Guide...

I don’t have to watch the latest show as it comes out. I’d rather wait for a show to finish, so I know I won’t be left hanging with unfinished story arcs, and then binge the series.

Streaming shows also get cancelled

PP you responded to

Sure, and that’s happened to me too. But with streaming you can wait until a series finishes to watch it. It may take me a few years to watch a great show, but I still think it’s better than starting a great show, getting invested, and then finding out it’s been cancelled and you’ll never know how it ended.

If shows would at least write out the basic plots, including the big secrets they’ve been dangling, and release them when shows were cancelled, it wouldn’t be so painful. But instead, after watching their shows for months or even years, we’re left hanging. It’s classic negative reinforcement - when a behavior (watching their shows) receives a negative consequence, eventually that behavior will be reduced/eliminated. I now have more shows to choose from than I could ever watch. Why would I want to volunteer to invest myself in another show based on that pattern when I could watch a show that I know will have a resolution?

I liked the show but didn’t see much more storyline for it.

Isn’t it just Mike and molly but with a black chick?

CBS can be viewed without having cable. For some people, watching networks like CBS for free might be their only option. Not everyone can afford streaming services.

Not all streaming shows have resolutions.

Why can’t you leave BlueBloods alone. It’s a great show with morals, and it shouldn’t be cancelled. You keep those stupid reality shows, and fake shows.
Please reconsider, and keep it on the air.
