TV shows can really captivate us. Sometimes all it takes is accidentally walking in on a single episode to get hooked. No matter what type of show you like, there's no denying that television series can capture our attention and devotion in a way that no other form of entertainment can quite match.
It seems that the serialized format of television is to blame for our tendency to invest more time in a show, and as a result, develop a stronger connection with it. This leads us to feel like we are living through the characters' lives, which is really addicting.
Every week, we see them and feel close to them. The relationship is similar to the relationships we form with other people, in that it builds over time and is strengthened by shared experiences.
Fortunately, nowadays we are living through what has commonly been called the golden age of television. Thanks to the outpour of high-quality content brought upon by streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video, there are more shows than ever before for us to become obsessed with. The only problem is that, with this huge influx of great shows, it becomes increasingly difficult to anticipate which ones will remain being produced for another season and which ones are to get the ax.
Perhaps you find a show you love and become fully invested in it. A year or two later, you might find out that the show has been canceled. It's always awful to discover this, especially when you never saw it coming. It's not easy to stay up to date on what shows are getting green light for additional seasons and which ones are getting canned. A lot of this information is kept relatively under wraps.
If you want to make sure that you are never blindsided by a show cancellation again, there is a little website for you to turn to, the baldly titled television syndication news site TV Series Finale.
History
I was not able to find very much information about this site's history on the internet, as it is a much smaller entertainment news site than most. However, from what I could see in the About section, this site began in 2005 as a website devoted to the last episodes of television shows. What we quickly found is that people also wanted to know if their favorite shows had been canceled or were ending. This led to a larger focus on TV show renewals and cancellations.
TV Series Finale divulges that the best way to predict whether a show will be canceled is by tracking its ratings. They note that while viewership patterns have changed over time, networks still largely make their money from advertising during original airings - so ratings play a significant role in network decisions. In addition to posting past ratings data, TV Series Finale offers readers tools to stay up-to-date on their shows' potential cancellations.
So not only does TV Series Finale offer definitive news about which shows are and are not being canceled, they also meticulously track reputable and historically indicative data in order to speculate (with a high degree of accuracy, if I do say so myself) what shows look as if they might be facing the chopping block soon based on ratings.
This strikes me as a brilliant idea. I am so happy to have finally found a website that puts in the work on this front. No longer do I have to be caught off guard with a shocking show cancellation. At least now I can mitigate my expectations beforehand.
Design
This is where the issue of TV Series Finale not having a website designer who can create a great looking website starts to work against the site. Sites with more money can easily pay for a good web design, which is something that TV Series Finale doesn't have. I'm not saying that the site design on TV Series Finale is bad; it just looks simple and unadorned. My problem with it stems from an aesthetic standpoint.
Looking at TV Series Finale, I feel like there could be a lot more done with the site. It looks amateurish, with cheesy logos and banners that look like clip art. Also, the site functions perfectly well; however, I think it could look better while doing so. The majority of the site is text and small thumbnail images which make it feel messy.
Content
The TV Series finale has a well-designed site, but it falls short in terms of content. It offers plenty of family-friendly news articles on which users can comment (the community is overwhelmingly positive compared to other entertainment news sites). There are also tons of articles to peruse that speculate on whether shows might be renewed or not, lists of canceled shows (all-time and recent), TV show air status pages, etc.
You can take a look at the raw data that TV Series Finale draws from yourself, thanks to the fact that they link to the Nielson ratings. They also offer daily network rankings, showing you where shows stand in the eyes of the networks on which they air. So, in terms of content, TV Series Finale has more than you could ever need to keep you informed. And it is all useful.
Desktop and Mobile Experience
So far as I know, there is no TV Series Finale app available. This is sort of a given, seeing how they are not a hugely profitable website. The only way they make money, as far as I know, comes from a low number of advertisements - which makes for a great desktop experience.
However, I can't seem to get over how useful an app would be for a site like this. For just the push notifications alone. The minute your favorite show gets renewed, for example, you could get an alert on your phone letting you know. If possible, I would love to see this site turned into an app too.
Suggestions that I have for TV Series Finale
Additionally, I think that TV Series Finale should make the user experience of this site a little more personalized. Even small tweaks could go a long way here. For instance, letting people sign up as users and following their favorite shows would be incredible. In fact, I would go as far as to say that this feature is almost a necessity - TV Series Finale, please get to work on this immediately!
Hey there, did you have an idea about TV Series Finale making more money? Maybe they could offer a premium service where people could track their favorite shows and be given an ad-free experience. Then they could use that money to also create an app. Yeah, that's definitely the move. As of now, though, TV Series Finale is suffering from some sorely missed opportunities.
