Over the years we all have had experiences where we went to
go see a movie or sat down to watch a TV show and were devastated on what we
saw. Whether it was high expectations or
just the fact that the product was bad, we were let down by the hope of
something better. Often this happens
with sequels but it could also happen for something that looked good in the
trailer or had all the elements for a good outcome. In any case, we are left shaking our heads
and either being sad or even mad, wondering how this could happen.
I have chosen a few of my own personal experiences, some you
would expect to see while others might be controversial. Not everything on my list is a bad
product. Some are excellent but because
of expectations or other factors, they are deemed a let down to some
degree.
The Twilight Zone
– sure, it has been tried before but this is probably the easiest one to
pick. An anthology series with short
stories seems like an easy idea but the drawback in this day and age is most
people are into ongoing storylines. It
is rare, these days, to have stand alone stories in any series. People need
something to follow week after week and so The
Twilight Zone may not be the show to bring back right now. Still, what better way to showcase new talent
by bringing in fresh writers and directors or perhaps bring in a famous cast
and crew to work on something. Imagine
William Shatner starring in an episode or Chris Carter writing an episode. What a better platform to see something
different and unusual.
