why?

I agree. I was very upset when Christy went off the air because they didn't even finish the final episode!! :x

Amen, sister!

Since Er ended, I don't have any TV shows that I watch regularly now. The Bachelor/Bachelorette is as close as it comes. I can stand to miss an episode or two. I generally don't care for reality TV though. The world has gone way too Jersey Shore for my liking! There's only so much forensic investigation I can be bothered with. I don't mind an episode of Castle or the Mentalist now and again.

I watched Dr. Quinn and bought the series on DVD (of course they come out with the compact set after I buy all the series sets separately, where each disc has its own case and takes up a lot of room on the shelf!) and of course I have Christy as well. It bummed me out that they ended it without being resolved, like My So-Called Life. I love Dr. Quinn even though Brian sometime got on my nerves with his regular 'I was just thinking' moments with Sully! ugh!

You sound like the kind of person who would enjoy Road to Avonlea (and I bet you're actually already familiar with it!), a celebrated Canadian series with a lot of heart. It's set in the 1900s and it's really sweet. It ran for 7 seasons and you can order them online from the Sullivan Boutique. Look for some samples of it on YouTube :) The series came after the famous Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Green Gables-the sequel, my favorite movies of all-time. And I got to meet Megan Follows who played Anne, earlier this year! Don't watch Anne of Green Gables-the Continuing story, unless you just want to see the two lovebirds finally together because the movie is not based on any of the books...and the fourth movie, Anne of Green Gables-A New Beginning, OMG it's complete BOLLOCKS!

There's an audience for shows like Christy, but religion is on the decline. That doesn't mean that social codes should decay, but sometimes there's a kind of thinking that because faith in a god is not trending, that therefore social codes are not trending either. Therefore a show like Christy gets a pass by production companies.

It's untrue, but that's how the marketing works. I'm an atheist. I vehemently dislike and disagree with any concept of a god of anykind, but I do believe in presenting oneself properly and proper conduct, as well as a general humanitarian outlook, which is part of what Christy was all about (however much I disagreed with the show's religious message).

A production company, or maybe one of the major studios, might pick up on the bible audience again and give her another try, but I doubt it.

Another female oriented show was Anne of Green Gables (the 80's production), which saw new life in the 90s and 2000s with different casting. Something like that may happen with a new version of "Christy".
