Title: Almighty Johnsons cancelled
Post by: QuickQuag on 09 September, 2012, 08:26:44 PM
Hi all

Posting this as I understand the series was picked up by UK TV (and in Australia too?) A sad and very frustrating day for NZ genre TV, already a very small player in a tough market.

That's a bummer. I really enjoyed this, even if it was obvious his flatmate was destined to be his missus.

Well...
[spoiler]in the first series maybe. If you've not seen the second then it throws a few curveballs![/spoiler]

...all a bit academic now, I guess. :(

I managed to get halfway through episode three before I lost hope, so being cancelled has saved me some invested time in this series!

Heh. He had a rubbish [spoiler]hammer[/spoiler] though. Used to great comedy effect, to be fair.

Never heard of it before. Might have to look into it.

Last NZ show I watched was the Prisoner-esque This Is Not My Life.
