This is a post specifically meant to make fun of shows that had potential and failed miserably. The moment that i give up a the show is when I stop the recording (while watching), delete it and then goto series recordings on my DVR and remove it completely. This is what i call Stop-Delete-Cancel Recording. These posts are an homage to the specific point that i gave up on the show.
This particular blog is all about the new show Terra Nova.

| I just want to punch this family in the face |
ok so where to begin. After feeling an emptiness after Lost dissipated from American airwaves I've had a need to feel this void. The last couple years have had mediocre shows at best. Even Dexter's last season was a little weak (of course how do you ever beat season 4). My 2 hours of watching tv at night with my wonderful wife Rosie is starting to become 2 hours of us playing on our iPhones instead of watching TV.. I sorta blame the iPhone for that :-)
So when I saw the coming attractions for a brand new show called Terra Nova i got excited. It had everything i wanted in my nightly escapade ritual. Science Fiction. Cool setting. Dinosaurs. Cool people in bad ass outfits fighting things. Did i mention dinosaurs. It had the look and feel of a new Lost but with dinosaurs..sorta. so i was all in to watch the premiere episode last week. Boy was i dissapointed.
10 things i hate about Tera Nova:
1 - The Shannon family arrives to Terra Nova and the next day the family is off doing their own thing like they've been there for years
2 - Mr Shannon has a criminal background and broke out of jail yet somehow he manages to become old man's top security guy
3 - The dinosaurs look like they come from the land of the lost original tv series
4 - The player son just breaks up with his girlfriend literally 10 minutes ago and he is already in love with a new girl. Poor writing.
5 - I thought for sure when the son meets the new girl and her friends that the black kid was gonna say "Welcome to the TN BITCH!!!" (homage to The OC .. welcome to the oc bithch)
6 - the year is like 61 million BC.. dont they know dinosaurs and strange birds that can kill you exist. why on earth would they venture off and then be surprised when their men are eaten by dinosaurs.
7 - Why would they send the top doctor out on a retreat with the securtiy team to find their missing son (from the pilot). She has no training whatsoever, yet they leave her there in the middle of the jungle to help a dying person. LAME-O
8 - Next weeks preview shows that there is a virus that is making people lose their memory. OK so the Shannons arrive.. the next day their kid gets lost in the woods forcing a search party to look for him. The day after.. i assume.. or a week later.. their are millions of flesh eating birds that are coming to take back whats theirs bitch. Now their is a flesh eating virus. Did any of this happen to Tera Nova before the Shannons arrived.. or is this family mush! put em in the bathrooom
9 - Steven Spielberg produced this garbage!! Did he or his people rewatch the pilot!??
10 - The character development and dialogue may be the worst since Jericho (no offense). Once again you have a top cop who knows everything and can figure everything out.
