Talk:Kidnapped (American TV series)

message: I reverted some changes, as there were instances of bad grammar, overlinking, and removal (w/o any explanation) of info that seemed useful. It seems like there was a rash of perfectionism where, if anything seemed imperfect, it was just removed instead of being fixed.
Also, I recommend checking out MOS:Wikilinking

thread_title:  Changes 

message: I've removed quite a bit of critical content:
'Ratings for the premiere were somewhat disappointing'...is POV.
'One year earlier, the season-premiere of former occupant Law & Order netted a 10.3/16 in the overnights'..not really encyclopedic or informative, especially if only to support POV.
'Critics were more enthusiastic however'...more POV that might be suitable for a periodical.
'The Chicago Tribune says:"Several new dramas, including the apocalyptic "Jericho" '...inserting reviews could go on forever, and isn't really informative, just a way to insert editorial content in the guise of references.

message: Someone should edit this to show its canceled. Im terrible with html.
:Response to above: as far as I can tell, the show has not be cancelled, but moved to Saturday night, and this already mentioned in the article.PaulLev 22:14, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually it has technically been cancelled, but it was decided that the original order of 13 eps would be completed and aired on Saturdays. But an entire 22 ep season would not happen, and a second season also would not happen (unless the ratings improved). So it's kind of an unusual cancellation. x 16:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if it's still being broadcast, then it's been moved and clipped, not cancelled.  But we're saying essentially the same thing.  Your "unusual cancellation" = my "moved and clipped" :-)  PaulLev 07:27, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cancelled 

message: I removed the link to tvseriesfinale.com because the story it pointed to was out of date.
I removed the Reuters link because it was just redundant to the Daily News link. x 14:36, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

message: There seems to be an insistence by several editors on inserting the cancellation of the series into the overview section. The overview section is there to explain what the show was about. The scheduling section explains its fate just fine. 
The only real sense of mentioning the cancellation in the overview is to explain how the idea of the show was not able to be fully utilized, since part of the premise included multiple seasons as an element. As long as that's explained clearly, then great. x 22:03, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Right - I think that aspect is fine now - see below. Tvoz | talk 21:42, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree with Xtramental's point here  -  it was added to the "Series Overview" section originally to replace some awkward phrasing about the premise being cancelled - but it's fine now with the sentence out of there completely.  However, it belonged in the very top intro (which I inadvertently referred to as "overview" in edit summary, but meant the top intro) which very briefly summarizes the status of the show. See, for example, The O.C. (TV series) and many others - top short intro  has to include its ultimate fate.   Tvoz | talk 21:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
