When a TV network airs a season or two (or more) of a really great show then cancels it.
Examples: Off the Map, Army Wives, The Bridge, and some others I can picture but can't think to name.
Am worried that's happened to Code Black.

when people offer unsolicited advice.

There are times when we ask for suggestions, but why do some people feel a need to offer their advice, aka "give direction" when no one is asking for it?

i find this completely irritating and exhausting. i don’t want to have to battle someone about what they think i should be doing, when i didn’t ask for them to fix something that isn’t broken.

The point of the conversation gets lost because the person is really only interested in advising.

I remember when the bastards took a highly rated show with Gena Davis as a female president off! No warning, no reason given, it was just GONE!

SooOoOOoooo, I just got home from picking up my new eye glasses. I like them a lot. But whatever happened to being able to see after you get your new glasses??? LMAO (or not), as my taxi driver took me home, I wore them and could only see the trees purrfectly. Big street signs, I could see. Regular street signs, yanno-- the name of the street posted at street corners, I could not see them. I was like..... *wtf!?!?!*

Apparently it takes two weeks for my eyes to get accustomed to the new lens prescription, but still (!), what the heck?!?!?!!

<<<<<~~ still "blind" for a couple of weeks yet, I guess
