Story: Major Crimes: Tricks
Characters: Buzz and, well, everyone
Rating: K for fun and goofing off
Summary: Buzz finds himself the unsuspecting victim of a rubber band attack. Who could be the culprit?
Moi: One-shots are seriously awesome to write. It only takes me a short time and they're such fun. I've planned this since I wrote Nightmares yesterday but the plotline did change a little bit which made it more entertaining for me. I love it when stories evolve from how I'd originally intended them. Here's hoping you all enjoy it as much as I did. Hopefully more one-shots will follow as the inspiration strikes.

Well, I know what you're doing in your spare time. ;)
ReplyDeleteBTW, Major Crimes just got renewed for 15 episodes next season.
I guess it must be popular enough then. The naysayere may be moving on and just letting the fans enjoy it.
DeleteSomething needed to take my mind off school for a short time. Last year it was manga and now it's "Major Crimes." Weird, eh?
Gotta say, I like Major Crimes way more than Manga. ;)
DeleteYeah, the show is averaging 5.6 million viewers a week, which makes it the second highest rated show on cable.
At least when I'm into "Major Crimes" you get some benefit of it too, getting to read my stories. I don't drone on about manga. ;)
DeleteMwaha! 5.6 million is awesome! Not as awesome as "Moonlight" but who cares!
I also get someone to discuss it with other than my parents! Speaking of which, I DON'T WANT RUSTY TO LEAVE SHARON. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS BE WHERE THE SHOW IS HEADED!!
DeleteFor cable, 5.6 mil per episode is mind-blowing. On a network station, they'd kill it then and there. If Moonlight had those kind of ratings on cable, it would still be around today.
Every time I post a review for it on Amazon I always mention how much I LOVE Rusty and Sharon together. The writers and producers must be monitoring this type of feedback right? The show would lose some momentum if Rusty left the show. He's, honestly, one of the reasons why I love it so much. They're just so good together!
DeleteDon't tell me about last night's episode. I haven't had a chance to watch it. As soon as I get home from work tonight that's what I'm doing. Or maybe I'll watch it on my lunch break today.
So cable is more forgiving? Man, I wish network would take a page out of their book. They're a tad too harsh, there.
I don't know if they monitor feedback of not. With cable, I think they figure out the whole season ahead of time and write most of it in advance. I also think we only have two more episodes left this season (maybe they're saving #12 for Christmas?).
DeleteCable understands they can only have a medium-sized slice of the pie. For some reason, the networks think they deserve a huge slice of the pie, so they never let anything live that doesn't average about 10 million viewers, and that's considered "low." Of course, if they weren't so full of themselves and so expensive to run, they could be happy with 2 million viewers like the CW is. =P
Carissa:
ReplyDeleteHi - thanks for the comments - no date set yet at the store open house thingy. Friends Sharing Tea is not "real" - it is just on the blog - ha!
Ah ha! Aren't you the sneaky one! I'll keep a lookout for your next open house. I always love coming to those!
DeleteThere's a tag waiting for you over at my blog if you're interested! =)
ReplyDeleteHearing this is a really good show. Cannot wait to nab the DVD set. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Charity's 'one-shot' issue. My promised submission could spell disaster or turn out okay. *bites nails* Hoping for the latter. :)
Ooh, what are you writing?!
DeleteAs you already guessed I'm sure, mine is "Major Crimes." I LOVE this show, love, love, love it! Now I just hope the creative juices flow for me.
