Why!?! why do they always do that to the shows I love but the ones I could care less about stay on like... forever! It's a vast network wide conspiracy against me... I just know it! Crap "reality" shows go on with no end but the shows that really make you think and are at the same time entertaining are yanked. At least a lot are(Still sore over Firefly and the like... I know, I have to get over it.) It all comes down to money... if it's cheep to make and brings in the cash they milk every drop from that sorry cow. And why isn't Clark in the glasses disguise and flyin' around in the Supes suit by now?!? Just thought I'd throw that out there. Peace fellow geeks and geekettes. That sucks about Journeyman!

Journeyman was a really great show that had a lot of potential. I guess the premise and content was over the heads of many Americans who have managed to keep Survivor on the air for 16 seasons! Oh well when you deal with idiots you end up with junk. Cancelling Journeyman and keeping medium is like getting rid of Cheerios in favor of cookie crisp!
