666 Park Avenue (2012–2013)
9/10
Canned by the Million Moms Organization?
21 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This horror show was top quality (eat your heart out Stephen King) despite is cancellation by horrific ABC channel executives. I am quite unclear why the show was really cancelled whereas some like Supernatural, were great for the first few years and is still going but at a rather boring pace in its 12th year. I Can think of several others that went on ad nauseaum, e.g. Revenge, The Good Wife and worst of all Mad Men (worth a maximum two seasons as The Affair should have done). It seems that general audiences, other than the more focused fans of IMDb's site, seem to prefer the most dreary soap operas. Let's hope that the cancellation of the show was not, God forbid, due to the Million Moms and Million Dads organizations' protests, a kind of watered down John Birch Society. Their stated aim was to protect children. If they felt so strong about the mild adult content of 666 Park Avenue then why didn't they use the feature on remote controls of modern TV sets that allow certain programs to be locked when parents are otherwise engaged. Well from the overwhelmingly good comments it seems that IMDb enthusiastic amateur critics loved the production. This was due to several features: an excellent story line, first class cast miles better than the average Hollywood lot. When we learned of the powers that be decision to can the series and wind up on episode 13 most of us IMDb fans were as if struck by lightning. The production quality was AAA+. Thanks to the producers the series was we seamlessly wound up. One assumes that if he show had not been canned the forced final episode 13 would have been aired for the last of the orphaned 23 episodes per season through 2017. Some compensation the salvaged finale of 666 Park Avenue was very well handed and brought closure to the fans. For those who want to see the series again I thought that the DVD is out from Amazon. Wrong ABC has refused to allow Amazon to put it on sale (original novel excepted). Oddly enough the DVD cover of 666 Park Avenue is downloadable from Google images.
