Boy meets world, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Saved by the Bell, all shows that it’s characters grew in the series. In Boy Meets World Cory and his friends start at as little kids until they are full grown adults moving to a new city. All the original characters still apart of the series from beginning to end. Saved by the Bell a lot similar, it started off a different series at first but then lasted until the actors were again adults and they wrapped up their lives with a nice wedding. Yet today most shows are lucky to get two seasons from characters. They start out with potential and eventually something goes wrong and they have to end the series, an actor is moving on, recasting would be impossible for the main charactors, or the shows rating stinks, which in this day an age I would imagine that online viewing of the show would count as well? Like myself who doesn’t purchase channels such as ABC or Fox yet I never miss an episode of Desperate Housewives or Glee once it is available on Hulu. Getting back to the main topic, am I the only is bugged by how series lengths have changed? Before they were one life long commitments to some series and yet now actors don’t want to be known as one character for their entire life? But isn’t that the point? You want to become famous that everyone knows who you are? They can easily recognize you because of the one part you are synonymous for? I don’t get actors who feel they want to forget what made them famous in the first place? Hello, if it wasn’t for that part you wouldn’t be a pretentious actor now! Maybe it’s the times fault, most kids can barely sit still for a half hour show let alone a life long series? Yet it still find it annoying how short some series are compared to when I was little I started out from when they were kids up to them becoming adults and living happily ever after…
