[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 128745, member: 719"] While networks sometimes/often cancel shows prematurely, just as often or too often shows are given every chance and squander it. [I]Revenge[/I] is such a case. When it premiered, ABC gave it a cushy Wednesday time slot it had an established history with in the previous decade, and critics hailed it as a clever guilty pleasure, with one review even calling it [I]Dynasty[/I]-esque. Ratings grew stronger and stronger until the mid-season revelation and then tapered off a little, because it was obvious that people expected the gimmick to pay off and not be just that, plus its early red sharpie formula was forgotten. Still it endured with viewers that year (this particular viewer was hooked), until it lost its way with the Initiative in the second season and it became obvious that like its ABC Wednesday time-slot predecessor, its creators were just [B]lost[/B].
