| Syfy's KRYPTON (an audio essay on Season 2, Brainiac, Lobo, Doomsday and Lyta-Zod) | 24 Jan 2026 | 00:20:06 | |
Why did Syfy's Krypton not get renewed for a Season 3? And did the creative choices made throughout Season 2 lead in any way to the cancellation of the show? This is an audio essay written and read by Josh Liston from On The Bubble podcast, and is just his personal opinion on Krypton, as a fan that enjoyed the show, but felt like it could have, and should have, been great. ....

| FOREVER: ABC cancelled the Ioan Gruffudd led crime-drama in 2015, but not before scheduling it into oblivion | 04 Jan 2026 | 00:05:52 | |
In 2015, ABC cancelled the supernatural crime-drama, Forever, but not before scheduling the show into oblivion. The network showed little support for the show from the very start, placing the Ioan Gruffudd led drama into a Tuesday at 10pm time slot, a historically tough time slot for ABC at the time. They then went on to start airing the back half of the first (and only) season on a very erratic schedule, never airing more than two episodes consecutively. All this, plus a genuine lack of purposeful marketing support, meant that ABC had doomed their own program to failure, and proved they only saw Forever as schedule filler, an absolute shame given its quality and scope. Note: the show's low initial broadcast ratings were somewhat overcome by strong delayed viewership numbers, but that delayed-viewing-performance was also ignored by the network. Sources: ....

| Saving Longmire (p1/3) - Longmire was Cancelled by A&E and then Renewed by Netflix, but how did that happen? | 07 Jul 2025 | 00:05:16 | |
Longmire was cancelled by A&E in the summer of 2014 (after 3 successful and critically acclaimed seasons), despite the show being A&E’s most-watched original series. It's believed that A&E’s Executives deemed the show's primary viewership (over 50’s) to be less appealing to advertisers. A bit silly, right!? Two Great Tweets from the #LongLiveLongmire Campaign: On Nov 4th 2014, Lou Diamond Phillips tweeted: "Might be the time of year to 'Fall Back' but not for me or the posse! Full speed ahead with Faith and Optimism! #longmirelives". On Nov 11th 2014, Lou Diamond Phillips tweeted: "The thing about trends...they become mainstays with enough dedication. Way to go, Posse! You are inspirational! #NeedLongmire". According to actor Zahn McClarnon (who portrayed Mathias on the show), “Longmire Was Saved by the Fans!!” Episode Articles and Sources:

How can one show get 85,000 Signatures to save the entire show, and another get 75,000 Signatures just to get some deleted scenes put back into a show?

This is not yet another "Bash the Acolyte" podcast episode (those are boredom personified), instead we take a look at how quality programming energises a fandom in ways that middling programming does not.
