I am Officially Jinxed

  I know, a lot of people say that, but dudes, I seriously think I am, when it comes to TV shows, anyway. Every time I watch and like a TV show, it either gets canceled or moved to a time when I can't watch it (and no, I don't have TiVo or DVR, for all you smart-butts out there who want to offer that as a solution to my problem. Plus, even if I did, I'm so jinxed it would probably just blow up while it was recording or not record at all or something). So far, cartoons seem to be safe, so I guess I'm not completely fatal....
  Don't believe me? Happily (well, somewhat) I've compiled a list of all the TV shows I've inadvertently poisoned just by liking them. And if any show you like shows up, well, I'm sorry. I liked them, too. And that was the problem.
  • Unnatural History--Cancelled after one season. Ironically enough, the final episode said "To be continued." And then it wasn't.
  • Human Target--I think we all know what happened there.
  • Chasing UFOs--If it comes back for a second season (and that's a Roswell-sized "if" here, people), it will need to be severely revamped because the first season basically sucked...according to two of the hosts of the show.
  • S.W.A.T--Taken completely off Antenna TV's fall schedule right in the middle of a freaking season. 
  • Mary Tyler Moore--Moved to later at night right when all of my family could chill out and watch it together. 
  • Adam-12--I had to think before I put this on my list. After all, it's just been moved around in time...but that still presents a challenge, so it ended up here. 
  Yeah, I watch a lot of old TV. Come over here and say something to my face about it, punk. 
  There's maybe one show left that hasn't yet been affected by my jinx, and I'm not going to mention it just in case, because right now there is a risk that it could be shifted or something, and if that goes I really don't know what I do, considering that I really don't watch a lot of TV. I watch a few shows faithfully and cartoons usually, so when I lose those shows, dude, I ain't got nuthin' but Gumball (and I'm pretty sure that if my English teacher saw that last sentence she'd have a freaking heart attack and die).
  First-world problem? Yeah, it is, I know. But it's mine.
