Space: Above and Beyond, Jericho, Journeyman and now Sarah Connor Chronicles (‘Rome’ was originally meant to last five seasons and cover the rise of the Christ, guess what happened). American writers had shown an ability to write compelling stories, settings and characters. However, executives are idiots, favoring immediate audience over leaving a show a chance to find its audience leading to its cancellation. It makes me wonder if the market should not change its model and leave writers and directors to do their things as they envisioned it. I guess it will never happen unless something as big as a major crisis force them to change.
