Keep "Lights Out" on the air

I think it would have been better served to be on HBO or Showtime not because it would have been better show but there is an audience on both networks that cares about boxing on FX not so much. It would be cool though to see one of them try a similar show but I would hope they would be a bit less dramatic, I liked Lights beating up people for money but to me you could make a show a lot better starting at the beginnings of a guys run or focusing on a gym/stable with multiple guys and story lines.

Quotes for truth. White and now Black Americas are pretty much done with boxing. Even a show about a Black boxer would be out of date. Latinos are the ones that keep boxing afloat in America, who was Lights Out's target? 60-70 year olds? true the only thing that is a catch on what you say is that show, and even though not on cable, just showtime, so it was limited audience, but Resurrection Blvd. didnt do too well, I know it didn't last more than a few seasons at best, obviously more so than Lights Out. I think the show is good, but I can see how it really doesn't resonate with a large populace of people because it's not something people can relate to anymore. I think that for a good boxing show to be successful is to have a series of live fights, with a 24/7 type coverage, in a tournament style layout, AND DON'T SELL IT LIKE THE CONTENDER, with all this crying, feeling whore type drama, but something more along the lines of the ultimate fighter, not guys locked into a house, but a set up with a camp, training, fight negotiations, making weight....... etc. in real life, the life of a boxer is not as exciting as people would think, and thats hard to get across to people, boxing is more about hard work than it is about flashy lifestyle and having fun, the fun is the reward for the hard work. if they made something real it would work, since they haven't, nothing has worked and we're left with a void until a good fight comes on.......... then we're left until the next one. bottom line we need more fights.......... monday night, wednesday night, friday and saturday night fights, fresh talent, and good exposure for boxing talent.....

How about a show about the real kings of boxing,

it was ok, but i don't see it going anywhere. Also if you're going to do a show about boxing why an Irish American?? It's barely relevant anymore.....the Irish, Jews and Italians don't even send a tenth of the contenders to the ring that they did in the past. A show about boxing......who is the target demographic??....it should be hispanics. I would have liked to have seen one with a American latino (mexican) fighter as the lead character. There's plenty of ways to go about a series relating to boxing, down from the setting to the actual age of the fighter. Quotes for truth.

What gets me is that they only had this on for one season and shows like Louie, which have been on for going on 3 seasons, are far more subversive. I know a lot more people talking about Lights Out than Louie, yet Louie is going into its 3rd season. I like Louie too, don't get me wrong but I don't hear too many people talking about that one as compared to Lights Out.

1 good season is enough, no real place to go with it and have it turn out like this season. I would rather it just stop than to sink into mediocrity and it would be hard to make another season not be that.

Loved the Light Out series too, with that said I'm not one of those who wants another season. One season is enough, the 40 year Old Lights got his title back and his pugilistic dementia was in full play at the end, where he couldn't even remember whether he won the fight. What more is there to it? Have him fight more? And turn it into a Rocky fantasy? Some great series are just meant to be One-Season, just like many great movies didn't need a stupid sequel. So is this like PlayMaker? another one season wonder?

Apparently it was being set up for Leary to enter the promoting side of things. Whatever, FX struck out again, people didn't want to watch it.

I think if there was a second season it would be fallout over the controversey in that fight.

i thought you were talking about the iba heavyweight champion of the world ha ha ha
