Scrubbing It
So I've coined a new phrase tonight. It's called, "Scrubbing It". Basically, you're a TV show with a modestly long run, but your series is up. What you do is you pick your worst episode ever and end everything on it. That, my friends, is Scrubbing It.

I have a theory I would like to put forward. My theory is that no television show should run longer than five seasons. The Japanese are much better at this than us Americans. The reason for this is that once you have a fixed frame of reference you can properly pace your story arc(s). Look at shows that violate my theory: Stargate, Star Trek: Voyager, et.al. Everything gets repetitive and cyclical. The freshness is lost. And speaking of Lost they're the one show above any other that influenced my development of this highly scientific piece of work. Ponder these thoughts and reflect in their truth.
