  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What is a TV series that you loved but it ran too long or was cut too short?

Was there a series that you thought was great, but the producers and writers continued it too long? Stretch it out making it tedious and slow? Jump the shark? Cousin Oliver? Or continuously kept introducing new plots and characters and never getting a sense closure or finality?

Was there one that ended too soon with unanswered questions or plenty of life and possibility left?

For me shows that went too long were:
Once Upon a Time
Little House on the Prairie
SpongeBob SquarePants

Shows that ended too soon were:
Firefly
The Fall
Covington Cross

All I will say is that I hate the discontinuity of some of the netflix series. This is because they seem to end each season like it may or may not be renewed. I can't say if they really know or not. Outer Banks for instance is that way. Each season brings some new adventure. Sure the characters are the same but the plot just expands to a new vein. On the other hand, I thought Squid Game was great because it had the story that built upon the last. " Director Hwang confirmed that 'Squid Game Season 3' would mark the series' conclusion. He explained, " It’s true that Season 3 will be the finale. I’ve conveyed everything I wanted to express through this series, so continuing beyond that doesn't hold meaning for me."

But will someone else just start a new game, new location, based on the same premise? If so it could be entertaining but kind of like the walking dead types of series. There was way too much overkill in those multiple series.
