How on earth did you get a second season?
 
Have you ever just wondered how a show got a second season?

Calder February 14th, 2010 7:18 PM

umm...if it did good...duh

I'm surprised Haruhi gets a movie so soon, but a second season from most anything is expectable.

Eurydice February 14th, 2010 8:57 PM

That's because the anime follows the storyline of the novels and Season 2 was just filling in the chapters they missed out in Season 1 due to a lack of budget. So the movie just happens to be the next volume after the anime so far.

How on Earth Pokemon got a second episode beats me.

UK residents may know about this one. "Coming of Age" on BBC3. It's just awful. It's crude beyond being funny and the script is just terrible. The actors are alright and they boost it up a little, but how has it got a 2nd series?

Movies now. "Jackass".... Why did it need a sequel? Why did it even exsist itself in the first place? And "Shrek the Third" killed the franchise for me. I loved "Shrek" and thought it was one of the best movies ever. The along came "Shrek 2" which was much better in every way. Then the 3rd installment was just pathetic. 'Tis a shame... 'Tis a shame...

There are so many horrible shows that get a second season. And so many good shows that don't get one. Like Firefly. Or Dollhouse, which got 2, but that's it.

Not like that. I mean if a show is so awful but still somehow gets another season.

I think American Idol would be the number one example of 'How is this show still on?'. Because I ask that question every season, along with 'Who on Earth watches this junk?'. You see these people compete in what's best described as a glorified reality show, one wins a contract and you usually never hear about them again. Or if you do it's once or twice on various shows and then they fall off the face of the Earth into obscurity.

It's kind of the same way that you'd see people play main characters on Power Rangers and then never see them again, except for one or two rare instances where they might compete in a martial arts tournament or play a role in a B-movie, or be convicted of a crime.

The only difference with American Idol is instead of martial arts, they're singing, and I don't think we've had anyone convicted of a crime yet. Give them about three years tops, on that one. It'll happen sooner or later.

LOST. How the HELL did that show get a second season?
Complete and utter crap, if you ask me.

Honest February 20th, 2010 1:54 PM

Well, I'm pretty sure it gets a second season due to the fact the first season did really good. Meaning it got many views, good money, etc, etc.

When it gets to a 5th+ season *coughLostcough* then it did really good.

Every talk show ever. Jeremy Kyle is arguably the worst.

spike6958 February 20th, 2010 4:58 PM

I wonder this sort of thing about South Park, It is truly the worst show on the planet, and there is nothing funny about it at all, and every episode is the same:
Cartman makes fun of Kyle for been a Jew
Kyle responds by calling Cartman Fat
Kenny Dies
Cartman makes fun of Kyle for been a Jew again
Kyle responds by calling Cartman Fat again
End of episode

I truly don't know why any TV station would want to pay the creators money to show this rubbish.

paolo4930 February 22nd, 2010 1:54 AM

On the earth it is easily we can know about the coming season. There are some preview of the next season should be seen and the climate change based on that.

kingofjokers February 23rd, 2010 9:09 PM

For some tv shows I understand ex: simpsons Family guy
but others like some reality shows and stuff like that just annoy me.

I understand where you're coming from. You need to watch all of the episodes close together, and really pay attention to understand everything. Though it is one of my favorite shows.

I think that South Park has its moments, and I don't think I've seen the Kenny bit in the last couple of seasons, though I only watch it occasionally. :\

Though I can't really think of any shows in particular to add...

What? The actors are what make the show bad. Well, and the writing. And the sex humour that just makes you cringe. Actually, basically everything about it is bad. It's identical to Two Pints, but with teenagers. The list goes on.

Also, to answer the OP, the producers decide they don't want to stop making money, and they can't be bothered pitching a brand new idea, and thus a new series is born.

Good to see another Scot here... there's like 3 of us now!

I actually think Anabel Barnston is quite a good actress. She performed well in the 2 episodes of The Inbetweeners that she was in (which by the way is a genius sitcom - looking forward to Series 3). Also Ellen Thomas, who plays the principle, is great in her role as she seems to charactarise all the teenage ideas of what a principle whould be like (scary and commanding but slightly sexy at the same time - not my opinion but what she represents). She was also brilliant in the Doctor Who episodes "Girl In The Fireplace" and "Planet Of The Dead" where she showcases her ability to be mysterious and haunting as an actress in her roles. The other cast members I admit are not as talented.

As for 2 Pints of Lager And A Packet of Crisps, I loved that sitcom. I loved it, as in I don't love it any more. The series was thoroughly funny with great scripts and cast and opitimised the sort of laddish, louty proportion of the people of Manchester. It was brilliant until Ralf Little left the series (to do ASDA commercials!) and so they had to kill off my favourite character; Johnny. They shouldn't have carried on. I can't bear to watch any of the last few series. The humour has gone down hill and just consists of jokes related to sex, the human anatomy and faeces (sometimes all at once). The worst things are the Musical specials. Good old 2 Pints just had one musical special, which was genuinly funny. Since then they seem to use it all the time to try and entertain but it dosn't work and you'll notice they often resort to singing songs from the original musical special. Then there was the crossover episode between 2 Pints and Coming of Age which I HATED HATED HATED. I've given up on 2 pints now. Luckily, they show the old episodes on Dave (IMO Best... channel... ever!).
