Kidnapped should have stayed - it was watched by 3% of America

It deserved to be canceled, but not pulled. 3% is a decent rating for
a Saturday night show, and NBC should have finished showing the
13-episode story.

I think in the future, viewers should refuse to watch any new serial
unless the network *guarantees* publicly that they will broadcast a
finale episode to wrap up, no matter how poor the ratings may be.

Now that Lost has experimented with a no-rerun season, other serials are
starting to do the same: For its serials "Desire" and "Fashion House,"
MyNetwork touts "NO REPEATS!!" in its promos.

I think that for future serials, the networks had better start touting
"GUARANTEED FINALE!!" or I won't watch them.

They even could have done a back-to-back deal, where they show 2 or 3
episodes all at once (like FOX often does with 24), and that way allow
each episode to build upon the last one, and more quickly burn-off the
show.

It should have stayed.

NBC should have kept their promise to finish the story.
