Sc-Fi Bri's Television: THe Ax has Fallen: THe not-so lucky "Lucky Seven"
Two weeks into the fall television season and the first casualty of the damned Nielson rating system has already been announced. After a mere two episodes, "Lucky Seven", about a septet of lottery winners will permanently go off the air. I saw the first episode, in which all seven winners have bad luck financially or personally. It wasn't a bad show. If it had more time to develop or if it had better publicity, perhaps it could have had a loyal cult following. From what I read, the audience dropped by 50% from the first to the second episode. Unfortunately, it was on Tuesday (I think), when a slew of good shows is on at the same time. Viewers without a DVR machine had to choose between "Person of Interest" on CBS, "Chicago Fire"on NBC, "Sons of Anarchy" on FX network, and "the ill-fated "Lucky 7" on ABC. If only another network would ignore the flawed Nielson ratings and continue this show.
