What's the deal?? I only saw a few episodes and then it suddenly disappeared. What's the deal? Did it get cancelled? Why doesn't it get regular seasons like all the others? I really liked this show. =(

Why didnt they give this show a chance? From the few eps I saw it was a funny show. You know what I noticed about this show and others. If you do not have the certain type of humor the writers have, shows dont stay on very long. So they re write the show to reach a broader viewing base or cancel it.
Thats ashame this show was funny. I know some people did not get the humor though

I loved it. I was really looking forward to watching it. It was probably the funniest show I have seen in a really long time.

I too loved this show. It was very funny...and realistic - I actually knew people like Whitey that would blow off a job interview to go buy fireworks! It's a shame they didn't give this show a chance to find it's audience. My 18 year old daughter thought it was funny too. We did catch a new show the other night that was slightly reminiscent of this show called "The Big Day." It looked like a pilot or special.

None of that is true. Sadly.

how do you know?

From Fred's myspace page. Also the actor's contracts have expired and they're all working on new things and Fred is working on some new shows too. They aren't releasing it on DVD because the music rights are too expensive to renegotiate. Believe me, I wish they would bring it back AND release the DVDs. It was my favorite show since Seinfeld and I can't believe the crap ABC replaced it with. If you here anything else solid, please keep us posted.

Yeah I watched two episodes last night as well on some channel called UHD which was just added to my cable system a couple weeks ago.

This show was amazing. First show I would have watch instead of house if I was forced too and the first show in a long time I plan my day around to make sure I would be able to watch it. Same thing as 10-8, they canceled it for no reason. None. It's sad.

This was the only show at the time that I would rush home to see. It was great! I don't understand why they would cancel it after only a couple of weeks. That is so ridiculous. They have all these cookie-cutter copy-cat shows and won't give something fresh a chance. It's too bad that ratings determine what runs and what gets cancelled. Why can't we have a variety of shows and not just what the "moneymen" want? They make me sick! In this case if forgiving is divine, then I'm just not divine.

To err is human; to forgive is divine.
VJMJ forever!
