Century City ArtWork
A CC inspired video. :) I love the song and I hope you'll like it, too. :) http://www.correctthespine.com/2008/05/26/ioan-gruffudd-in-century-city-i-want-you/

Unfortunately, I couldn't view the video :hmm: but I agree about the song, annee. I like Savage Garden's work and its very appropriate to the 'relationship' that Lucas and Lee May have.

Very nice,Annee,verrrrry nice indeed! Sensual,and I agree, fitting for the cat-and-mouse 'affair'!

Thanks, Annee. Nice video. Unfortunately, I couldn't view the video :hmm: You can watch the vid at http://youtube.com/profile?user=MJfunspace along with other Ioan-related vids.

I took a look at a few and really enjoyed the CC videos. Great look for Ioan, but then what isn't? :love2: :mrgreen:

Thanks, Frances :cool: I like the CC look too - just a shame the series was cancelled; who among us didn't want to see them together? (Even if it made him a cheater :wink: )

Good point, Frances, but that was exactly why I liked it (does that make me weird?)

That was exactly why I liked it, too, and I liked its exploring difficult moral and social issues. However, I'm afraid people who watch legal dramas like CSI or Law & Order do so for the reality, the methodical 'follow-the-clues' approach, cannot relate to the the 'fiction' part of science fiction, while sci-fi fans want spaceships and laser guns in their sci-fi, so I wonder if this can explain why CC failed and was cancelled.

I enjoyed CC attempt at originality combining the two genres. It's too bad networks don't give Series a little longer run like they used to and give viewers a chance to catch. If they at least played all the episodes filmed, it might make more sense. Why spend so much money on a series and then not screen it?

It is a real pity that networks don't give series a little longer before deeming them failures. Not all series can be instant successes, some need time before viewers get hooked. In the case of CC, they could have at least run all of the nine episodes they filmed instead of cancelling it halfway through them, since they had already spent money to produce them.

This is really an O/T post and still doesn't explain why a TV network can produce a whole series and then cancel it after airing just half of it. Recently, I read two articles on an Italian magazine, one about video stores closing down (this is not my impression... movie theatres are actually closing down over here, while video stores seem to be multiplying) and the other about why the music choice on offer is suffering. Basically, the idea in both cases is that with people downloading music and movies from the Internet, for free, record companies and movie producers have to stick to safe bets, while a few years ago, the sales of the better known artists were so good that they were like the cash cows that let them take risks with new artists, new talents. So people should realise that they need to go to the movies, buy/rent CDs and DVDs, and pay to downloading music and movies from the Internet, in order for record companies and movie producers to be able to invest in new talents.

Frances, it does seem to be a world wide issue and one that needs to be resolved. Granted the internet allows better access to material not available elsewhere and it gives artists who don't get picked up by a well known producer or publisher a marketplace to distribute their wares, but if the payment issue isn't resolved, it will limit or put many established companies out of business. Artists of all genres need to make some money to continue making art. It is a huge problem.
