I can sort of understand not watching a new programme until you know it hasn’t been cancelled after one season, but to not watch the 3rd season because there may not be a 4th season?
I’m not criticising or judging, just curious as to your reasoning behind such a view...”
I was wondering the same thing, I see little-monster has replied something about cliffhangers and shows finishing, but what if the final season of a show started with the answer to a cliffhanger from the previous season.
e.g. Season 'X' of a show finishes with a cliffhanger, say a burning Mercedes in a ditch on characters wedding day, season 'X+1' gets the go ahead, but with contracts coming to an end there is no guarantee of season 'X+2', do you watch season 'X+1' and if so when? Only when season 'X+2' gets the go ahead and if it doesn't do you leave it not knowing the result of the season 'X' cliffhanger? It's hard to work out the logic of the idea.
Of course those of you who worked out the thinly disguised example I used will be aware that the explanation of the cliffhanger made no sense whatsoever and that is likely to annoy some people considerably.
There probably is a logic in the argument in there somewhere it's just my little brain can't get itself round it.
