I just don't get ABC

ABC canceled "Pushing Daises." (No, I haven't forgotten or forgiven them for that yet.) ABC canceled "Samantha Who?" Granted, I didn't watch "Samantha Who?" but it had Melissa McCarthy on it from Gilmore Girls. I enjoyed watching the actress formerly known as Sookie on the previews. You know which show ABC decided to bring back? They also touted it as a "hit show".

They are bringing back Wipeout. It's a human obstacle course where people are basically catapulted into mud or water. The official ABC site describes it as:
Human cannonballs! Human pinballs! Crashes, smashes and mud splashes!
The contestants compete across several weeks to win a grand prize of $50,000. After taxes, isn't being a human cannonball worth more than that? Your programming choices make me sad ABC, very sad.

  1. I loved Pushing Daisies and still have not forgiven them either. I loved Samantha Who? also. And I just dont see how a show like Wipeout, which is incredibly stupid, could stay on TV over shows like Pushing Daisies and Samantha Who?
