I'm Afraid to Watch TV......

It's getting to where I'm afraid to watch television now a days...like a tenderhearted lover who's been burned one too many times, my bruised emotions can no longer handle the roller coaster ride of this relationship. Just when I fall in love all over again with a new series, when I'm excited to sit down and give my time to a new favorite show it happens....the death knell...
CANCELED......
But why??? What did I do? I was faithful, on time..... never missing a show....Even when the show arrives 5 minutes late...or worse doesn't show up till next week with barely an acknowledgment that it stood me up in the first place!!! I thought our date was for Tuesday night but this week you said it was Wednesday and not at our usual 8:00 but this time 9:00 and yet I still managed to be there.
But still.....CANCELED.
It's so final, there's not even any negotiation ....just rip my heart out and leave me hollow and empty waiting on the couch for a show that will never air again......
TV didn't let me down easy either, oh no. I have to hear the news third hand, from a stranger, and act all casual like my head isn't reeling with betrayal.
Tv should have to put as much effort into canceling a show as it does advertising a new one...relationships are complicated and none more so then mine and my tv's, it shouldn't be easy to break my heart over the loss of a barely started sitcom...it should be hard...tv should send me flowers and chocolates and an apology note letting me know it wasn't my fault but their's.
But tv doesn't care, fine then..... but the last laugh is mine, I've been cheating on TV for years, that's right TV...when you couldn't satisfy me the way I needed it most, when you turned me off I turned you off and went to bed with a good book. So there!
