guess that almost everyone has heard about this concept ever, if only by seeing "Jurassic Park" or many other movies that mention or exploits: a butterfly flaps its wings in London and unleashed a tsunami in Hong Kong. That is, a minimum initial change may trigger a series of increasingly unpredictable consequences that end up producing an effect quite different than expected. Well, in the world of television could be stated as: "A housewife from Kansas City presses a button, and the world runs out of a work of art." U.S. TV series reach the rest of the world only if they pass screening to have a respectable audience figures in that market. While in the movies there are projects that are funded with an eye on the international box office, which can save budget revenues at source in the peoplemeter TV is king only, but the scythe's ever producers.
Sometimes even earlier success ensures continuity in antenna. 'Heroes', for example, was canceled in February 2010 after 77 episodes in three and half years and despite finishing in cliffhanger. In September, even abandoned the idea of \u200b\u200bloose episodes more, or a TV movie to close the history of everything. Others manage to get bad who either completed a season, but there are finished. 'Flash Forward', for example, finished well, despite also use the trick of ending scheme to try to pit the interests of producers and the public.
What's 'Flash Forward' was actually sung, but what I said earlier that one can be without some works of art due to decisions of the American public is right. Series extraordinarily good as "Freaks and Geeks' or 'Studio 60' stayed in a single season despite showing great brilliance during his first dozen episodes.
Some make it to broadcast despite being unfinished, or even come to DVD, but others fail to achieve even that. Each fall there are several series that fail to Christmas, or even month. Outlined in the previous post had already dropped two issued after only two episodes ('Lone Star' and 'My Generation') and the other last eight have been shot, but was canceled after the fourth ('Outlaw'). 'Lone Star' in particular is a rare case of the critically acclaimed series but quickly canceled. It is quite possible that no one will even know about them, although it is true that there are "alternative means" to at least see for yourself what they were worth.
In previous years there were other projects that ended just as badly. It is well known for 'Firefly', the Joss Whedon's space western, at least approximately 14 episodes, but others like 'Smith', a series of robbers led by Ray Liotta, only got to shoot 7 episodes and issue 3. "EZ Streets", created in 1996 by Paul Haggis and starring Joe Pantoliano, about a cop and a mobster, was canceled after eight chapters and two starts. Pantoliano
Haggis and would become famous in the future, one for 'Million Dollar Baby', 'Crash,' 'Flags of Our Fathers "and the last two of 007, among others (and, ahem, 'Walker, Texas Ranger'), and the other to leave in 'Matrix', 'Memento' and 'The Sopranos', but even established names and successes behind him are forced to start from scratch with each project. Chris Carter, for example, after ten years of 'X Files', not let him go with 'Millennium' on New Year's Eve 1999, which is what would the series (he managed to Frank Black pulling a crossover episode with Mulder and Scully) and his third proposal, "Harsh Realm" about humans trapped in a world of virtual reality (one Terry "John Locke of Lost" O'Quinn) was clinched after shooting 9 episodes and issue 3.
Then there is the case of the series on pay TV or cable, where not only are there more creative freedom, but also more room in order to build a story that is necessarily obliged to engage viewers in each chapter. AMC channel especially since he has gotten into the series (the name originally means American Movie Classics), has specialized in long distance and stories told with a lot of pause. Beginning with 'Mad Men', followed by 'Breaking Bad' and finishing with 'Rubicon' this summer ', each one is slower than the last. And the first episode of 'The Walking Dead' fourth bet, just released, nor is it quick cane.
But the most famous is surely one of 'The Wire', which despite the small audience and being completely ignored by the Emmys, showed the same patience that his players to mount their wiretaps and has come to be considered possibly the best TV series ever, lasted five seasons on HBO. Because of its complexity and his refusal to explain things as if the spectators had six years has been a great series to watch once on DVD, for example, and is getting quite profitable post mortem. Is the reward that you sometimes have to trust in something.
Moreover, in the pay channels is a paradox: you might think that since it is paid, it requires better quality, but although of course that happens, there is also a target audience just watching a series that may not engage both to take the money you paid. Since I paid, at least I see the series. Which is increasing its audience.
Finally, the examples could go to nearly every series. Fortunately, a growing number ends when it should, leaving a good taste of the finished work, rather than squeezing the idea until people get tired and go see her leaving. But to get there, pass through the screen of the housewife in Kansas City.

Previously, on 'Televicio' ... review a lot of new series, but obviously I have no time or inclination to follow them all. So I started to discard from the deck, and the first to harness caérseme have been 'Nikita', 'No ordinary family', 'Chase' and 'Hawaii Five-O'.
What Your Excellency, what series have failed to see, now or in the past? What effects have led butterfly?
