if you liked it you should try watching the british version. it's the exact same thing and they let the story line play out before pulling it

To bad FOX couldn't put it on at a watchable hour.

Fox is easily the worst at canceling shows and moving them around.

I think House has been moved three times in the past year.

The worst ABC cancellation by far was Sons and Daughters. A truly terrific show.

I also liked Eyes. They like to cancel shows with Tim Daly.

They don't give shows much of a chance...I remember when Cheers was wraping up their series and had a special with the cast it was revealed that they show was almost cancelled after their first season because of poor ratings...

Its no telling how many shows ratings would start climbing if giving more than a few episodes...

Show I hated seeing cancelled was John Doe...

Drug, Sex, Money or whatever it was called all seemed to have pretty substantial cult followings too.



I think you mean Dirty, Sexy, Money, and it was good before the writers strike but when that ended, ABC scrapped the rest of that season and restarted last fall and wasn't nearly as good. The show and its storyline took a big time hurting because of the writers strike, IMO.

I'm tired of them canceling shows on me too.. What I do is tivo the season of shows I think I might like. If they are renewed, then I'll watch the first season.

I also hate how they put the station logo on the screen the whole time and have the pop up ads for other shows. They can do that shite on the commercials..

yep that show just got going and was coming into it's own. Star Treks series usually start out very slow and pick up by the third or fourth season.

My girlfriend just punched me when I told her the news. We really enjoyed watching Life on Mars. If they cancel Chuck, she might kill me.

I quit watching life on mars when they moved the show and then went on that three week break. I really enjoyed the premise, got hooked on it and then lost interest
