If you could bring back one cancelled television show, what would it be?
Shows below are in order of my priorities. 1. Sarabhai vs SarabhaiProbably one of the best Indian sitcoms I would have ever watched in my life. Comparing it with the current idiotic and slapstick comedy shows like Comedy Nights with Kapil (Ehh?, I could remember just one?), this was the most humorous and sensible TV series I ever enjoyed. No over-exaggerated dialogs, just performance. A brilliant "sophisticated" acting by Ratna Pathak, a hilarious dad superbly pulled off by Satish Shah,an even hilarious "Mamma's boy" played by Rajesh Kumar, a middle-class daughter-in-law role played by Ropaali Ganguly and the pissed-off-by-family-antics son played Sumeet Raghvan were simply a class apart.No Indian sitcoms being created these days will ever reach their glory.Sarabhai vs Sarabhai (TV Series 2004–2006) 2. Instant KhichdiAgain- Why producers why?After SvsS (for some it might be before), this was again one of the best sitcoms India had ever saw. It depicts a simplistic Gujrati family who, after becoming an overnight millionaire, goes on to live among High society in Bombay. They live on in their own eccentric way, trying to ace the lives of the superrich- which creates the humor. Again, a brilliant acting by Supriya Pathak (Hansa;Yeah, sister of Ratna Pathak), Rajeev Mehta (Prafulla), Anang Desai (Babuji) and Aatish Kapadia (Jignesh) filled each episode with loads of humour and laughter.I don't know if they are cancelled, BUT I WANT THEM AGAIN!
I was wonder is alex o'loughlin from Hawaii 5-0 is sick??? ?
Wow. I'm watching the latest episode of Hawaii Five-0 now and he certainly does look gaunt or sickly to mee too. I noticed it first on last weeks episode and just thought I come online to check it out. You asking this question confirms I'm not the only one who thinks it. Hopefully it's nothing serious, and I realise this doesn't answer your question, but at least you know you're not the only one thinking this way.
Why is the TV-series Person of Interest being cancelled after the 5th season?
Back in May, Person of Interest was given a shortened 13-episode order for season five. Fans feared CBS decision indicated the end was near for the show.Merely hours after the network announced the premiere date for season 5, it declared that this season will be the show's last.Three evidences made it clear that the crime drama series was heading to the grim reaper. The first evidence was that "POI" received a shortened, 13-episode order for season 5. Secondly, it was absent from CBS' original 2015-16 schedule. Thirdly, as co-star Sarah Shahi has been cast in the title role of CBS' Nancy Drew pilot titled "Drew."Created by screenwriter Jonathan Nolan (Interstellar), Person of Interest premiered in the fall of 2011. To date, there have been a total of 100 episodes. The series got off to a great start, pulling in over 13 million viewers. By season four, after a scheduling change, the show began to see a drop in ratings.Additionally, "POI" isn't owned by CBS (it's owned by Warner Bros. TV), which means that the network doesn't make much money airing this show. In contrast, shows like "Hawaii Five-O," "NCIS: LA" and "Elementary" are owned by CBS Studio, so all the ad revenues go directly to CBS.CBS CEO Leslie Moonves has explained the network’s decision to cancel POI, admitting it boiled down to ownership/revenue. He mentioned that this also affected fall TV schedule choices, as the CBS-owned Elementary was renewed, but Warner's Person of Interest was canceled.Elementary made an about profit of $80 million last year, Moonves said, while the company broke even on Person, "because Warner Bros got all that additional revenue."Fans are furious that such a well-crafted, engaging series has been cancelled.Here are some fans reaction on various social media sites:“This is awful news.""And that was the last show that I watched on CBS 'GOOD LUCK WITH THAT CBS'"“Gee thanks and then you cancel one of the best shows on television. Nice and once again the good ones get axed."Well I am truly disappointed with what happened with such a great show.The least we can do is thank Jonathan Nolan and J.J. Abrams for such a great show. It will be missed :([Source:designntrend.com]
Why was Mannix and Gunsmoke cancelled in 1975? Poor ratings?
Gunsmoke ended, because they felt that 20 years on the air was long enough. As for Mannix, the ratings weren't that good, so after 8 seasons, it was pulled.
What does it mean to put out an APB, and what happens after it is put out?
You are referring to an “ All Points Bulletin”. This is a notice that goes out to all officers in a department. When other departments share the same geographical jurisdictions, it goes to all departments within said original geographic area. This would affect a city police department that operates within a county that is covered by a Sheriff's Department as well. In my county, we have several towns, one city and two departments. The city has it's own Police Department, and the County Sheriff covers everything else in the county including the other towns. The Sheriff's Department also backs up the city Police Department as well. They share a dispatcher so they all get each other's notices.This type of notification can be used in an Amber Alert, which involves the kidnapping of a child. It is often used in “Hot Pursuit” situations where the fleeing suspects are not caught immediately. And it is also used in a very wide area of dissemination when a police agency wants to get their departments involved with others, or when a suspect has ties within another department's jurisdictional area, possibly with friends or family.I hope I was able to make this more clear for you.

How do I convince my parents to get Netflix?
Okay so for the past year now I've been trying to convince my parents to get Netflix, but it hasn't worked. They always mention all these movies and shows they want me to watch, but then I can't find them on YouTube, and so I brought up Netflix and they shot the idea down immediately. (Even though I told them the first month is free) Now I asked again and they said maybe, but last time they said that they switched back to no. So how do I convince them that we should get it? My mom loves to watch TV a lot and my dad is into a bunch of old shows and movies so I think it would be a benefit for us all.
What are some examples of books, movies or TV series that ended on cruel and unusual cliffhangers for the audience? I can only think of SOAP and Mork & Mindy.

Yes, this is cruel and unusual.Planet of the Apes (2001).Planet of the Apes (1968). Cruel but brilliant!Inception.The Triangle.There are more, but I don’t want to go on forever.
What are your three favorite television shows? How frequently do you watch them?
I am not overly impressed with TV offerings these days. I guess this is another way of saying that my tastes don’t quite mesh up with TV programming. That said, I do keep returning to the following programs:Madam Secretary - I appreciate the blending of the personal, political and policy. After watching an episode I always think to myself that the show has an excellent team of writers. I think it is the best show on TV right now.Last Man Standing - I never quite understood why the show was cancelled in the first place. And I am glad that Fox picked it back up. It is a cute blend of familial dynamics, opposing political philosophy, and acceptance of others complete with their foibles.I am struggling with my third choice. I would say Longmire, but that wonderful series was cancelled. I started to list The Last Ship which is kind of a private pleasure that no one else appreciates. Besides, along with most of the shows that I like, has been cancelled. I almost listed Laudermilk simply because of it’s delightful goofiness (What is my fetish with shows beginning with the letter ‘L’?) I think I am going to settle on:The Expanse - which, of course, had been cancelled. But then it will be picked up by Amazon (or is it Netflix?). This is probably because I have read all of the heave tomes of the Expanse series, so I appreciate how they have translated the written word into a TV series.
