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!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
