Best show I never wanted to watch.

"John Doe" was a show that my wife insisted I watch, and I'm glad I did. No!, every moment of the series was not perfect, but it was good. And for someone who is not entertained by mainstream television, it was fun to watch. I am the minority of television watchers I fully admit. Most popular programming is unappealing to me. Either in concept or in delivery. "John Doe" was different for me, it had a charm that few shows have. Or, shows have and then there are changes (either story line, or cast changes) that affect the delivery of the original plot. Sometimes a story line change is part of the original idea for a show, that I do get eg. "Lost". But I feel "John Doe" had staying power, maybe not a decade worth, but more than it was given. We never know what reasons the network corporate offices make the decisions they do, but I feel they got it wrong this time. Hopefully there was a solid reason for canceling the show, not just a whimsical decision by one person. I did not want to start watching. "John Doe", but I am disappointed that I did not get to see it end.

score 8/10
