    That was fast

    So, I go away for a few days to enjoy a college football game in Ohio, and when I come back, I find that CBS has already canceled its hideous musical-drama-mystery (drammystical?) "Viva Laughlin."
    After only two episodes.
    I must say, I have kind of mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, the show was awful. I mean, teeth-gnashingly, gut-wrenchingly awful. It actually hurt to watch it. But I'm always a little wounded when shows get canceled so quickly after they start. Maybe it just needed time to gain its footing. Maybe it was on the cusp of a creative renaissance.
    True, I'm pretty sure "Viva" was NEVER going to get better. But now we'll never know for sure.
    And this happens all the time. So many shows get axed without a chance to really blossom.
    Thus, this is a bit bittersweet.
    Sigh.
    Ok, I'm over it now.
