Re: Shows that you feel were screwed over

The Finder was a show that I really loved and that had a lot of potential, but there were two major things that I feel really screwed it over.

1: The show played up the connection to Bones way, way more than it had to. It wasn't really a spinoff of Bones in any meaningful sense, and the shows were way different - I don't even like Bones that much but I loved The Finder. So the audience of Bones fans who would turn in because it was a spin-off wouldn't necessarily like it. But tying it so closely to Bones, I think, made it a lot less likely for non-Bones fans to watch it.

2: The show aired its episodes completely out of order. Partly, this is related to the first: the networks moved up a bunch of episodes because they were more connected to Bones. But it was really terrible for the show, which had both ongoing emotional relationships between characters, and also a progressive shift in tone as the season went on so that the show started goofy and light and then wound up getting pretty dark. So airing it out of order made everything confusing and kind of random.

Of course, in the end, it didn't matter - Michael Clarke Duncan passed away right after the first season and the show wouldn't have worked without him. But still. So much potential.
