here's the thing, it wasn't a hit, but it wasn't a flop either, it was one of those shows that does ok enough to justify a renewal each season (in the hopes of having enough years to get to syndication) until abc decided not to renew it one year. it wasn't enough of a hit show though that it could anchor their evening lineup the way (sadly) according to jim could a few years back. you know Less Than Perfect was one of those shows that the reality crazy sorta took away---it was a show that wasn't a big flashy show, but the network left it on the air, and it developed a bit of an audience while it was on, but when it got yanked, there wasn't like a gigantic outcry, it was mostly forgotten about, (which is largely why when it came back to the air for a brief couple of weeks in May of '06 after spending almost the whole season off the air, no one watched and it got canned right after.)
we used to have a lot more of those kinds of shows, time slot shows that ably held down the timeslot for the network while they went about trying to fix the holes in the rest of their skeds, but now cause of how much cheaper reality programming is for the networks, the timeslot shows kind of went away, but their coming back sorta with shows like Rules of Engagement on CBS....their still there, shows that do ok but aren't mega hits, but build up an audience while their still on and do ok for that timeslot.
the white zone is for unloading passengers...

I would love to see this show on DVD and would purchase it in heartbeat. This is the funniest show I've seen on TV in a long time. I loved the chemistry that the cast had and miss it so much. If anyone hears anything at all about a possible DVD release please post it and know that you have my support in your efforts to get Less Than Perfect on DVD. After all, this show couldn't be any more perfect.
