Glass House axed.

Glass House axed. :

"'We just won an AFI award, we're nominated for another one, we just got nominated this year for the Most Popular Light Entertainment Program for the first time in the Logies - why would you cancel a show when it's at the height of its popularity?'"

Given it is not a high budget show, then funding is unlikely to be the reason for its axing. It is the most popular show ever. It's living proof you do not need heaps of money to have a really good show. It's about laughs, talent, thought, provocation into thought. It's a very clever, interesting show which is never long enough. To axe is is an act of madness. We are getting fewer and fewer shows that we like. The shows we like are vanishing. Why is that? We have always had innovative television and The Glasshouse has been part of that tradition. Mediocrity breeds standardisation and vice versa. Why is that the order of the day? Nobody actually believed it was true when we first heard it. You don't destroy success because our actors and media people are getting fewer and fewer opportunities and yet we keep proving we can get the mix right and yet we simply do not support our successes. We seem to delight in destroying them...and it is not the public. This is not the attitude of the public. It is unbelievable.
