Have you had a show that you were getting ready to ditch because of the blahs, and then they added a new cast member that got your interest back up?
Happened to me with Grimm. Interesting concept, first season was okay, but I was losing interest. Then Bree Turner came on board as Rosalee, and just was a breath of fresh air. She is beautiful and she is a talented actress. I’m glad they are giving her a fairly large role, and I like watching the show again.
I’ve never had occasion to find out; I’ve never been about to quit a show, which then added any new characters. I have, however, started watching some really bad shows because of an actor (usually an actress, because I’m kind of a perv), and kept watching, in spite of the show continuing to be really bad.
The Blacklist is a really, really dumb show, that I would never waste my time watching…except that James Spader is in it. He single-handedly makes the show worth watching.
Given that both Walter (Fringe) and Rumpelstiltskin (Once Upon a Time) were so show making, and I gave up on both shows, I think the answer for me will have to be a “no”. And neither show was awful, they just seemed to have no end in sight and no other non-bland characters.
I was an over the road truck driver for 35 years so never really watched a lot of television until I retired so I’m now seeing things that are no longer in production. And with the policy of showing episodes back to back to back to back that seems to be the norm these days it don’t take long to see an entire run of a show. And because of that it did’t take real long to see that the addition of the characters Jessie on "Burn Notice"and Randy on “That 70’s Show” were bad moves.
As a side note that back to back to back policy really sucks. They have 70 years of television programming to choose from. Do we really need 10 hours on four networks showing a P.O.S. show like “How I Met Your Mother”? Or “Two And A Half Men”?
