Cancelled
Just announced; CBS cancelled the show
shareWhere was it announced?
And good ridance. A&R guys suck!
Hate to say I told you so.
should of had it on a wednesday. Can't beat 24 and the shield.
Love Monkey isn't/wasn't on 24 night....

I'm just saying Fox/FX had a great duo.
Put it on Wednesday and it'll do better.
Is there any stuff on this? Like a website or something?

Still wondering what '24' or Fox had to do with anything, as 1) It was on a day later than '24', and 2) it was an hour later as well.
Couldn't have moved it to Wednesday, wouldn't that have meant displacing one of its precious CSI franchises? (Unless they moved it to 9, which would've been ratings suicide against Lost... not to mention really annoyed me, as there're already too many shows Wednesdays at 9 for me to tape with my current VCRs, and I can't watch it 8-} )
In any case... I'm rather disappointed (though can't say particularly SURPRISED...) that it's already been cancelled. Whatever happened to giving a show a chance to find its audience? When I think of how many great old shows (though I'm blanking on them at the moment lol) took half a season or more to become popular, that would've been cancelled after 3 eps in this day and age... *shakes head* Freakin' network execs...
Kevin... still upset over Firefly and Tru Calling *g*
it was one directly following 24 here.
so. yeah. it could have been in compitition somewhere.
Weird... are you non-US?
shareI'm really down about this. This is the only show I looked forward to each week. It actually made being a thirty-something "cool." We are really getting lost in the shuffle.
Is there no one out there that cares about good TV anymore? Does every show have to be either a murder mystery, reality, or in a court room?
I live in the midwest, but this show really makes me want to move to New York. I think that's what a good show should do.
Oh well. Maybe it will be back, but when they say the show is on hiatus, it's not good.
Adios

Seinfeld is the only show that comes to my mind right away. In the extras of the Season 1 DVD Jerry mentions that the show would have been cancelled in the first season if it had been under the control of today's TV execs.

Yes Seinfeld is a good example. In that case it had some very high level NBC execs fighting for it, and also it was a show that was getting a bigger audience each week. They could see that Seinfeld wasn't a instant hit, but it was growing a lot by word of mouth. Sienfeld was a classic example of a show that people discussed at the water cooler.
Shows likes My so called Life and Sledge Hammer were shows that got a lot of support from high level management, but never caught on with the public. Sledge Hammer ran for two seasons with extremely bad ratings. My so Called Life would have gotten a renewal for a second season, but Claire Daines was reluntant to return (so was the rumor).
It should also be noted that series back in the 50s and 60s weren't expected to be instant hits, and given a full season to find an audience. Even series that had declining a audience (ie Gunsmoke in the mid 60s), were given new time slots that added many more seasons to their run. Back when there was only three channel to select from, two of the three show should easily have rating good enough survive the season. If not, moving the show to another time slot often could improve the ratings of a quality show.
