NBC Cancel The Event

Now this is new I heard back earlier in the week possibly late last week, and I have to say I'm a little disappointed.  I have watched this show every week since it started and I'm quite intrigued.

For those of you who have not seen the Event.  It follows Sean Walker (Jason Ritter) who's girlfriend is kidnapped and mysteriously disappears.  It soon becomes apparent that Laila's (Sean's girlfriend) father has been hired to fly a plane into the compound of the president, that attempt fails and the President learns that a secret has been kept from him which includes a secret compound in Inostranka, Alaska.  at the compound are prisoners who are Aliens and the President decides to release them.

Like Flashforward this show does get slow on occasions but manages to leave you wanting more at the end of every episode.  Lets not forget this was billed as the new Lost, which I watched every single episode of, it got slow at times and the end of the show, well!  We all know how much of a let down that was.

I had a feeling something like this was going to happen with The Event, the show airs here on Channel 4, originally the show was on at 10pm.  Week before last it was moved to 11pm and now its not on til midnight, why?  Is it really that bad?  Am I one of the only people watching this show?

I don't think I am the only person watching this show and really I don't think it is that bad, I will still watch on a Monday night/ Tuesday morning to see where the story goes.  I can understand the cancelling of Flashforward for instance, with that show I was at the point of falling asleep half way through but. the Event has just got something different for me I enjoy the show and I'm surely not the only one.

Let me know what you think in the comments below, and don't forget the new Facebook page and to subscribe to the RSS.  Thanks for dropping by and if I'm not back before, then I will see you Friday for the weekly movies post.

What Happened To "The Event"

The Event (NBC and Channel 4)

Cast – Jason Ritter (Sean Walker), Sarah Roemer (Leila Buchanan), Laura Innes (Sophia Maguire), Ian Anthony Dale (Simon Lee), Scott Patterson (Michael Buchanan), Taylor Cole (Vicky Roberts), Lisa Vidal (First Lady, Christina Martinez), Bill Smitrovich (Vice President Raymond Jarvis), Clifton Collins Jr (Thomas), Zeljko Ivanek (Blake Sterling) and Blair Underwood (President Elias Martinez)

With Lost, Prison Break and FlashForward now away from our screens NBC’s latest offering The Event has been providing us with high octane US action and thrills.

The Event in my eyes is currently the best show on television, and I have certainly been missing it since it left our screens in early December 2010.  The show is aired in America on NBC and in England on Channel 4 it stars Jason Ritter who plays Sean Walker a man who is investigating the disappearance of his fiancé, the further Sean delves into the investigation the more he uncovers about the biggest cover up in American history.  Ten episodes of the show have currently been aired and it is due to return to our screens in early spring 2011, can’t wait!

This show has provided some really good viewing since we no longer have the conspiracies of Lost and FlashForward to get our heads around.  The Event has plenty of its own questions, theory’s and answers that it throws up to get us thinking.
