Close to home cancelled.


This sucks for sure, They have cancelled close to home, and jericho, 2 good shows. Also cancelled were new adventures of old christeen(which im sure nobody will really miss)and the class. The only show that they said has a chance of being a mid-season replacement unfortunatly isnt close to home but the new adv of old chis. However CBS hasnt cancelled all of there good shows,w we still get to look forward to nes seasons of NCIS, all the CSI's,Criminal Minds, Numbers, and Shark. In addition to a few new shows that might be good.

So what is next for Jennifer Finnigan (Annabeth) from "CTH"? Any new shows for her in the future?

reply

I am a fan of the show but i'm not at all surprised it's been cancelled. See, it was just all the ladies watching to see the very sexy Christian Kane that got it fans (that's why i started watching it lol) and now he's gone, what's the point in watching it? Exactly - none.

But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???? I like this show... is THAT why? Do they ever think about giving shows a chance above and beyond 1 season? Hey... Angelus? Angelus from Buffy?

reply

she is on USA's THE DEAD ZONE again this season

reply

I'll prefer 1000 CSI being cancelled than CTH...

reply

I sure hope that Jennifer Finnigan gets picked up for another TV Prime Time Show! Perhaps "Desperate Housewives". Jenn was terific playing Annabeth on
"Close To Home".

reply

CANCELLED BY CBS:
"Jericho"
"Ghost Whisperer"
"Numbers"
"The King Of Queens"
"The Class"
"Close To Home"
"The CBS Sunday Night Movie"

reply

"Numbers", "Ghost Whisperer" were not cancelled. The sunday night movie still happens..just a few times a year.

reply

The king of Queens wasn't cancelled, they just ended it.

reply

And I heard they are bringing back Jericho due to overwhelming fan support.

reply

This sucks, another good show gone. They really know how to cancel the good shows don't they.

reply

PLEASE TELL ME THEY ARE NOT CANCELLING GHOST WHISPERER!!!!! I love the intrigue of that show. The writing is smart and they know how to work the suspense! I can do without Jennifer showing so much cleavage in each episode, but since she was the executive producer, she can do whatever she wants, but I will miss the show if its definitely been cancelled.

Close to Home is another show that I'll miss. Even though they missed the mark on exactly which way they wanted to go with this show, I don't think the powers that be gave it a chance to work it out. I wondered why they killed off Kimberly Elise in the finale, but I should have known!

As for the rest of the shows and the Sunday Night Movie - no comment.

I guess its back to Will & Grace reruns!

reply

I agree with you about Jennifer Love Hewitt becoming too much of a sexpot on
"Ghost Whisper" by wearing lingerie like clothing and nearly exposing herself.
At least Jennifer Finnigan as Annabeth was beautiful, but never oversexy!

If they had not changed the first season format of close to home, it may have survived. It became top heavy, too predicatle and far fetched. Charging on little evidence and the investigators conveniently finding new evidence in all cases was ludicrous. It was entertaining all the same.

GW has been renewed

Since when is JLH a exec prod ?

Even is she wears just stickers, her ratings wont be super hi bc many ppl go out on Fri noght and her show is watched by old ladies.

i started watching this show at the beginning of the second season and i fell in love with it. after hearing it was cancelled, i felt like asking why? the show is intelligently written and has heartfelt moments. this show may not be one of the best shows on cbs; however, i really like it. i do not want to anger a lot of people, but i never saw jericho and i never thought that i would find it interesting, but the critics reviews as well as the viewers reviews were always very good! anyway, close to home is one show that i look forward to on friday nights. i like the cast, and i believe that they mesh real well if you know what i mean. the show that is taking the place of close to home is known as moonlight (or something along the lines of that). IT IS ABOUT A VAMPIRE WHO IS A DETECTIVE. i think that cbs has wasted its time marketing this show because it does not seem that creative or interesting. this show will last perhaps half a season, and hopefully they will bring back close to home.

HOW ANY SEASONS DO YOU THINK THAT SHOW WILL LAST? I THINK NOT EVEN ONE, WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?

ALSO, WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF BRINGIN BACK A SHOW SUCH AS CLOSE TO HOME WHEN A SHOW AS BAD AS MOONLIGHT (I AM SO PESSIMISTIC) IS CANCELLED?

They're not cancelling Ghost whisperer. I love that show too. They confirmed that they will be coming back next year. Check out TV.com or http://www.cbs.com/primetime/fall_preview_2007/. I think the reason why they cancelled close to home was because they kept killin people off. I stopped watching after they killed the husband off...actually I tried two more episodes but it was not the same. Now I hear they killed Kimberly Elise's character off. That is a definate no see for me now because I don't see where they can go now. Now the show is like Law & Order.

If anybody is interested in the correct shows that are airing on CBS this Fall, visit their web site. Look under the shows tab and then click on the Fall 2007-2008 show preview.

Peace

"Numbers" and "Ghost Whisperer" were saved by the network and they will be back sometime in the fall.

I am completely saddened and outraged that CBS would cancel a quality work of art which is "Close to Home". I stumbled upon this show after Ghost Whisperer last September 06 and have been wowed by Jennifer Finnigan's Oscar-caliber performances! She has got to be the finest actress on current network television. When I watched my first episode of Close to Home, Jennifer's acting seemed to be on "par" and reminiscent of a young Jody Foster in the "Accused" and "Silence of the Lambs"! And I am compelled to say, perhaps even BETTER than Jodi Foster! I hope and pray that Close to Home gets a breath of "life support" from CBS execs the way in which "Jericho" has. This is my SHOUT OUT begging & demanding that CBS bring CLOSE TO HOME back for at least 20+ more episodes or fans will be outraged! We don't need Jennifer Finnigan on "Desperate Housewives", we need her playing Annabeth on C2H right where she belongs for FOUR MORE SEASONS!!!! Does anyone out there hear what I am saying? Let's start contacting CBS and outright beg and INSIST that they bring CLOSE TO HOME BACK!!!! Let's start a grass-roots campaign! Start writing letters! Do it now! William in San Diego

How about accurate info before you post? ;)

reply

I love that idea....I think Jennifer Finnigan would be great on Desperate Housewives and she is cute...would fit right in especially with how last season ended on Desperate Housewives, she could fill in some gaps in the neighborhood.

I am sorry to see Close to Home go...I was truly hoping that it would come back, it was a good show with a good premise but there are just too many similar plot lines amongst prime time television I guess.

reply

They cancelled Standoff, too....

I liked that show.

I think we have a suspect. (statue)
I love this job.

I never was a big fan of close to home, but I suspected the show was in trouble when they replaced the boss with David James Elliot and they killed off the other female D.A. They could have saved the show if they had left the cast intact and added another male with a harder edge to off set Anabeth and create contrasts.

I think CLose to Home had a very nice first season, but the second one lost a lot of concept, because it changed critical characters.

reply

The first season reruns are on here in the UK. I'd forgotten how good season one was, in comparison with the second season.

No boom today... boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.

reply

Season Two as awful. Mauren should have been made DA and not introduce a new character who did not fit with the show. Still loved Annabeth.

reply

i loveeed this show so much. i cried when it was cancelled lol. dumb america, they wouldn't know good tv it it smacked the back of their heads.

reply

Thank god.



Not that I believe in imaginary creatures, but I am just have the need to thank someone and I don't have the e-mail addresses of people responsible for pulling this piece of *beep* from the air.

Now if only somehow all copies of it could be destroyed and the episodes I've seen removed from my memory...
