RIP Partners 2012-2012

Another one bites the dust....

Partners has been cancelled.  I was really enjoying this show as Brandon Routh and Sophia Bush were hilarious but that was likely the problem as the two main leads were not the ones to make the greatest impression, which is bad when they are in almost every scene.  For me the one who made the least impression was David Krumholtz who played Joe as I never really made a connection to his character and the only reason Michael Urie worked was because of his interaction with Bush and Routh.  Another reason why the show likely could not find an audience was the narrative started halfway into the characters stories.  It would have been more appealing to have Joe meet Ali in the pilot and see their courtship along the series rather than start the show with both central characters in committed relationships with little more to explore.  That said one major change which I feel would have led to greater ratings was if Ali and Wyatt were the best friend central protagonists and have Joe and Louis as the sub characters.  All in all I did enjoy the show but I can see why it did not find an audience.  Read on after the jump to see episode reviews...

October's Monthly Five


This month's monthly five is in honour of the new season of television shows on the air and the many great shows from the past that have had their runs cut short way too soon.  So without further ado here is my list of the top five TV series cancelled after only one season.
