#TheRoundUp by Enzer - No. 22

SPEAK OUT

What are some of your favorite TV Shows that have been cancelled? I hope some of the few that I’ve decided to blog about this week are on your list as well. Yes, like the rest, I and the other members of the Enzer’s World (E.W.) Board hate it when shows get cancelled in a heartbeat. That’s why the E.W. Board has a special recognition dedicated to outstanding TV series we believe have a permanent place on our small screens and/or deserves a second chance on air. Find out which shows will make the SHORTLIST for that particular recognition in the upcoming E.W. Independent Online Recognitions taking place in a few weeks’ time.

For now, let’s direct our attention to a few TV shows we were sad to see cancelled or end.

Where you a fan of How I Met Your Mother which aired on CBS? That show was insanely awesome and was never meant to get cancelled. The cast ensemble was by far one of the best and the storylines were like no other. Another series that got dropped was LGBTI-Friendly series, Looking which aired on HBO. It wasn’t really as good as the series Queer As Folk (which aired on Showtime) but it at least shed some light on how sexually wild gay men can be (well, that’s what I picked up). I also loved the couples and enjoyed looking (pun unintended) at the good-looking gentlemen (and lady).

Finally, as promised in an earlier edition of #TheRoundUp, a small paragraph on Passions. The daytime TV soap-opera Passions last aired on NBC a few years ago but its visuals are still fresh in my mind. What sets Passions apart from the rest was the fact it was one of the few soap-operas that experimented with the supernatural theme. All the magical twists and spooky storylines made it worth it and the long list of characters fit in perfectly with what was going on. Will the ‘big guys’ ever bring back something like that? My fingers are crossed.

Quotes:-

“Leadership is much more an art, a belief, a condition of the heart, than a set of things to do. The visible signs of artful leadership are expressed, ultimately, in its practice.” – MAX DEPREE

“I knew after my first lesson what I wanted to do with my life.” – BILLIE JEAN KING

“Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.” – RABINDRANATH TAGORE

AMERICAN IDOL ROUND-UP

It was a great week for Nick, a bad week for Rayvon but Quentin left the competition. I’m pretty sure Rayvon will be the next to be eliminated from the competition. Besides the fact that his performances have been lacking, he has been stuck in the bottom two for too long. It’s sad because he is really talented.

I think it’s now safe to predict a winner right? Nope, we are not ready yet. America keeps surprising us so we might not get an E.W. prediction, even for the finale.
