Sunday night at 9pm, only on NBC: the second episode of “Quarterlife.” Well, actually, make that Bravo, not NBC.
After dismal ratings last Tuesday, NBC decided to move the new show “Quarterlife” from NBC Sundays to Bravo Sundays, which is just about as good as canceling it. Of course, I don’t receive Bravo, so I couldn’t watch it.
This is not a new trend. 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.
