Superhero, The Cape, Felled by NBC

According to this report, the NBC lineup started seeing changes physically last week when it chose not to air two hours of The Cape, which it has decided to cancel, which based off my initial thoughts of the show was not a surprise.

I am a bit conflicted though as I was starting to take a bit of interest in the series, albeit solely for the quality of the villains, who were creatively designed and nicely executed on screen. The biggest mistake this show and network made right from the beginning was in the overly generic name of the character/series, The Cape. I know he had a fancy cape, but Batman had a fancy belt full of gadgets too and he was not named after that.

Granted, there are still a few episodes I have not yet caught up on via Hulu, but I am planning to watch them and absolutely applaud NBC for allowing the show, which they cut the episode order down of initially before outright cancelling, to have a series finale.
