Showtime’s Cameron Crowe-created and JJ Abrams-produced comedy drama Roadies comes to the end of its run after just ten episodes but there’s light at the end of the tunnel…
The 59-year-old, Almost Famous music journalist broke the news of the show’s cancellation in a blog post saying:
“Thanks to Showtime and J.J. Abrams for the opportunity to make the one and only season of “Roadies.” My mind is still spinning from the giddy highs of working with this epic cast and crew. Though we could tell a thousand more stories, this run ends with a complete ten-hour tale of music and love. Like a song that slips under your skin, or a lyric that keeps speaking to you, we hope the spell of “Roadies” lingers. It was life-changing experience for all of us.”
Loved by some, berated by many, Roadies told the tale of the unsung and forgotten heroes of rock but the show, starring Luke Wilson and Carla Gugino was berated by many with Rotten Tomatoes saying Roadies condescending tone, boring and underdeveloped characters, and lack of dramatic intrigue lead to a failure to rock.”
