Now often instead of stand alone episodes they continue from week to week and I really hate it when a show just stops after I've gotten all involved. As far as I know that's what they did with <i>Revolution</i> and <i>Flash Forward</i>--both shows that I was really enjoying. I never saw an ending episode so I guess they just disappeared off the map.<br /><br />Seems like everything anymore is a series or to be continued. <br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br />Road trippin' with A to Z<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-45829607112945183102015-06-04T13:42:42.638-07:002015-06-04T13:42:42.638-07:00Lexa: Sure, they have all of that and came to the ...Lexa: Sure, they have all of that and came to the conclusion that, say, The Lone Ranger was a good idea.
