Goodbye CW - I C(an't) W(atch) you anymore


Dear CW,


You understand that I am not going to watch CW anymore, right?


In an era of crappy reality shows and half-baked comedies, Veronica Mars was the one show I really looked forward to every week. It combination of whip-smart dialogue with layered plots made it one of the best shows on television.


It constantly made me laugh and entertained me.But deciding to not renew Veronica Mars was a mistake.


The CW has so few quality shows and you are going to let your best show die?


I am truly disappointed in your network and the state of television today.But more to the point, I am now on the warpath against CW.


(Now I know why they call it the Can't Watch network.)


While I will no longer watch the CW, I will badmouth the network every chance I get.If someone mentions Farmer Gets A Wife to me, I will say, "Oh, that's on CW isn't it? I hate that network; it's full of crap."


If CW is on somewhere, I will ask someone to turn the network off or I will leave the room.And the worst part about all of this?


You could have had me.


You could have had me and my $40,000 plus a year salary. I am the type of young influential watcher that networks want.


Now I will turn my viewing habits elsewhere, if anywhere on television at all. There is little that is entertaining on right now.


I guess that is the worst part about all of this for you, CW.


You lost a customer.

Sincerely, Joe Florkowski
