地道美语听力练习:最爱电视节目被取消

Mo:I have some bad news Your favorite TV show has been cancelled.

Amy:I'm not surprised.

Ratings plummeted last season, so the writing was on the wall.

Mo:Also on the chopping block is your favorite reality show:American Idiots.

Amy:Oh no, not American Idiots, too!

I thought it was gaining ground in the ratings after a slow start.

Mo:Unfortunately, it stayed a cult favorite and never garnered a large enough viewership to be renewed.

Amy:I'll have nothing to watch next season.

Mo:You can watch some of my shows.

All of my favorites are being renewed, with one taking a short hiatus.

Amy:A short hiatus? We all know what that means.

Mo:What are you implying?

Amy:The network will put in a mid-season replacement, and if it does well, you'll never see your show again.

Mo:That's not true. You're just saying that because your shows got the ax.

Amy:No, I'm not. That show is on its last legs. Mark my words.

Mo:Well, even if it's true, I still have something to watch, for now.

Amy:What are you watching right now?

Mo:A show called Podsters.

It's a reality show where a bunch of podcasters live in a house together and are watched 24 hours a day.

Amy:I've never heard of anything so inane.

Who cares about the lives of podcasters?

They must be the most boring people in the world.

Mo:You might have a point there.
