but what the hell, quality doesn’t mean anything without money. sheesh.

i also don’t agree with a comic book, i prefer a movie

(All times Eastern/Pacific.)

Amanda: same with your definition of “quality” program. Millions of former viewers of PD disagreed with you and bailed on the show as the weeks went on.

The facts are these. This wasn’t a show that never found an audience, this was a show that had a huge audience and *lost* most of it.

These angry fans who clog up the internet with venom for all of the unwashed cretins who don’t watch their unbearably quirky show only serve to make me root that much harder for their show’s cancellation.

I hope Life on Mars gets a 2nd season.

While I agree that, ratings-wise, PD definately deserved to be cancelled, I think that QUALITY-wise, it did not.

Yes, yes… I know that this does not matter to the network at all, I’m just saying that I think if you chose which shows to save/cancel based on originality, comedy, entertainment, and over-all QUALITY, Pushing Daisies did not deserve what it got. It really is one of the most interesting and entertaining shows I’ve ever seen.

I’ve still got my fingers crossed for a Movie or comic book to wrap up the series the way Fuller wanted it to. It deserves that, at the very least.

I’m not surprised ABC is giving LOM a little more room. They paid for a second pilot, paid top move the production to New York and paid for Keitel & Imperioli. It went from a series whose bigger money went to the licensing rights and Jason O’Mara with a relatively modest budget for everything else to a series that costs a lot just for the cast & location. I’ve actually liked the direction of the series and am glad it has diverged from some of the areas covered by the UK version. The original idea was to produce a version of the classic BB cop series, “The Sweeney”, an extremely violent early 70′s drama and contrast it with the modern day cop. If the US version would have taken the same idea too heart, dropping the modern cop into what is essentially a 70′s cop show, they’d have had to remake Kojak or something similar as that period was the era of the TV super detective on US television. I’m trying hard not to compare the US versions of the characters with the UK versions because you just can’t. On its own, the US LOM is a decent period cop show with a high concept hook and an appealing cast. It should do fine after LOST. Of course, I thought Journeyman & My Own Worst Enemy would benefit from a Heroes lead-in, so what do I know?

Yay for Private Practice, surviving the strike and manage to stay alive with that crappy lead in!

I just hope that they give Eli Stone a proper ending.

Don’t leave the show on a cliff hanger or with unresolved issues!

Looking at the ratings it amazes me how so many people can watch garbage like Dancing with the Stars when good shows are getting canceled.

Since Alias left – I don’t watch anything on ABC…nothing…

and you can throw NBC in there with them…I haven’t watched anything on NBC (cosistantly) is………..HMMMM… wow… since FRASIER!

…those 2 netorks are boring now…

I really can’t seem myself investing in a regular network show anymore.

It’s too bad I can’t save money buy cancelling them from my tv lineup like I can with the cable ones. LOL

I would note that buying a shirt from these people would make *zero* impact on ABC or Warner Bros.

In this case FOX or CBS would have been cancelled Pushing Daisies a long time ago

But hopefully USA will seriously consider picking up Pushing Daises as Monk is in its final season. I think it would be a proper replacement for such a quirky dramedy.

My wednesdays will never be the same again. Bye Daisies :/
I’ll miss Ned and Chuck.. and they’ll never get a real happy ending as I presume.

Digby is fired :O

Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles rocks!!!

Greg Berlanti just spread himself too thin (and “Dirty Sexy Money” was a massive mess). ABC did him a favor.

If LOM follows Lost, there’s a good chance that it will capture the Lost crowd looking to fill a gap that we all know is coming; Lindelhof and Cruse announced that there are only 2 more seasons left at the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con International.

I hope it succeeds, as I do believe that ABC has a show that will get better. Character development was a little slow, but it’s definitely building and growing by leaps and bounds over the last few episodes.

we missed a 30 yd field goal, jeez. PP bleeds a million plus viewers and DSM gets the old fold and hold.

What a ride, so close.

You guys were right , the index works pretty good and Nick C knows his stuff, although I am not sure he knew how close we were to an actual back 9. If you are ever in LA (Robert or Nick or Bill , beers on me for my stressful tirades here. I was holding on to hope, I really believed in this show.

I will miss you guys and will check back hoping for the miracle of a 3rd season due to a huge spike in December!!

My heart goes out to the cast and crew of PD, ES, and DSM. The fans lose here as the shows while not behemoth nielsen machines definately were fun to watch.
