Good to know I’m not the only one who can kill a show by liking it! What’s especially frustrating is what I call my WKRP experience: CBS had a top-rated show that my friends in the industry said was too true to life (they loved it too). But the execs at CBS didn’t like it, so they moved it around on the schedule until the ratings finally fell… then gave it the axe.
Since then I’ve seen other shows treated the same way by execs that didn’t like a show, its producers, or even the message the show delivered.
