An Open Letter To Channel Ten

Dear Channel Ten,

I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU.

Why oh why have you just taken away my only reason for living (on Monday nights)? Is there some sort of SICK BASTARD who works for you who spies through my window at night and makes notes on my viewing habits, using the knowledge gained from their peeping tom activities to continue broadcasting programs if I think they’re absolute rubbish, but scrap incredibly and enjoyably shit television shows which make my superficial heart sing with glee?

The reincarnation of TV’s most famous zip code for teenagers, 90210, has been pulled from the screen by Channel 10 after just four weeks.

There are no words… other than profanities.

Oh, you claim to have good reason for removing 90210 from your schedule, but they don’t cut the mustard with me…

“90210 is an excellent show that clearly resonated with a younger audience, but it didn’t have the kind of numbers needed to stay in this intensely competitive environment,” a Ten spokesperson said.

While the program, which features Shenae Grimes, Australia’s Chantelle Barry and Garth, has achieved moderate success in its native US, the glossy remake has taken a major nose dive locally, recording a national audience of just 616,000 during its final outing in the primetime slot of 8.30pm on Monday.

The network intends to broadcast the remaining episodes during the non-ratings period over summer.

There will be blood.

Yours somewhat psychotically,

Jess
