Value Of Breaking In

Shows cut before their prime

Value Of Breaking In
Fanart TV

In 2011, I was introduced to an amazing TV show named "Breaking In." This show followed the hilarious antics of a security corporation that's sole purpose is to test security systems by breaking into their client's buildings and hacking their networks. The show only lasted for two seasons, until canceled by FOX, and the question I have is, Why???

Fox has a history of creating shows, then canceling them, with some of these shows being picked up by other networks, but most pass under the radar and never again see the light of day. Even deserving shows such as Breaking In.

Networks do this in an effort to sell possible shows to other networks, but keeping some of the rights in order to gain more profit, getting money for the sale AND for each episode that the show may bring. In theory, this is a fantastic idea. It allows networks to share show ideas and to use each other for profit. Win-win for everyone involved.

Except many times, a show will turn out to be fantastic, being well-written and involving talented actors. Yet the show will be cut in the first or second season, leaving their viewers quite upset. This has happened to many good shows, such as Arrested Development and Better Off Ted. While we can now enjoy these shows due to movie-streaming apps such as Netflix or Hulu, the likelihood of these shows being picked back up is practically zero.

That being said, I challenge you to search Netflix, to scour Hulu, and to investigate Amazon Prime for these unfortunate shows. Watch the few seasons created and enjoy them for the charm they posses. I can guarantee you will not regret it.


On a different note, I am proud to announce that I get the honor to be Editor-in-Chief for the Methodist University branch of the Odyssey. This is going to be a very fun position and I am glad to have the opportunity to help the Odyssey grow and develop at MU! Look for further articles from myself and my fantastic team!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
