Scary newspaper people

In an article in yesterday’s Washington Post titled “Where Are the Shows of Yesterday?,” which ran through all of last season’s television series that didn’t survive, columnist Lisa de Moraes took the time to squeeze in this slam at science-fiction fans when she got around to discussing the casualties over at CBS:

Vampire detective drama Moonlight, meanwhile, was gutted before it ever aired but for all the recasting, etc., still wound up wildly mediocre. Up to the end of last week, some of its scary sci-fi-people fans were still holding out hope it would rise like the phoenix at another network.

Other CBS casualties include Cane, Shark, Welcome to the Captain and the apocalyptic Jericho, despite the best efforts of its scary-sci-fi-people fan base.

Gee, thanks.
