I should be sent to Mars for pointing out the problem with the FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc. situation without offering any proposed solution. Everyone can clearly understand the problem–people work from 8 to 5 everyday and can’t be home to get packages and other important mail. They can try to sign the paper forms left for them, but this only occasionally works. Carriers are worried that they can be held liable for damaged or stolen packages that they leave behind.

I stick by what I said before–shows should be given 6 episodes on the same day, the same network, and at the same time. If after that trial period the ratings are still bad, then cancel the show. But otherwise, let the audience watch the show and grow to like or dislike it. It’s stupid to spend all this money and not give a show any chance. If someone had to determine what type of person I was based on just one day in my life, I’m not sure if I would like my chances. We all have bad days. Of course, Quarterlife’s first episode happened to be a great one–meaning that everyone else was just having a bad day. [...] […] This is not a new trend.
