You are lucky because you get to see the last episode that we here in the USA did not get to see and I heard it was good.

The christmas party episode I thought was the best.

If you miss any episodes you can watch them on tv-links.

Yet another show stuck on tv in the UK that has already been cancelled state side - it annoys me. The same happened with E Ring and Studio 60 and so many others. You watch the shows and start to develop and interest in the charecters then - boom, all gone.

TV has changed for the worse.

I wonder if NYPD Blue was starting now if it would last. Thank goodness for Law and Order and CSI



From hells heart I stab at thee!

Its all down to dumb Yanks with the attention span of a 6 year old and the Neilsen Ratings system, which sucks big time!!

If a show loses some viewers in a few weeks it will be shifted to a terrible timeslot , which loses it some more viewers which.... a vicious downward spiral.

Or they just pull it and its never seen again except in the UK when the program is bundled in with a higher cost program.

IE Living TV buys Greys Anatomy and Justice or suchlike is thrown in as a bonus.

I don't understand how shows like Men in Trees or Kath & Kim manage to last so long when decent show likes Justice get cut off after the first season. I was just beginning to get into this show and then after reading IMDb I found out it's been cancelled.

They should start cancelling the crap shows nad not the decent ones.

It's like a star. It's shiny, but by the time it gets to the UK, the star is already dead.

it was cancelled in the Us but in the UK it showed the full 13 episodes as generally foreign audiences get the full run ala kidnapped,

Same happens here in Australia, except with a twist. Shows like this (that have been cancelled) gets "flogged" with a decent show as part of a bundled deal, which the Australian commercial TV networks then "flog" to the viewing public as "network premieres" but are actually used as late-night fillers on their High-Definition digital channels after 10:30pm. Not much advertising revenue is raised by the networks for these time-slots, so it gets filled with cheap programming such as this. Up to 10:30pm these HD channels are usually simulcast with the standard definition and analogue channels programming and get to pay their way.

You have to unfortunately treat the TV networks rather sceptically these days. If these programmes don't rate their little butts off from first airing, they're gone! No such thing as allowing time to bed an audience in when you are targeting an audience that you have to dumb down to because they are channel surfing and don't have an attention span longer than an insect's. Too bad for us suckers who enjoy a complex script with a bit of meaningful dialogue thrown in for good measure... we don't stand a chance and never will because there are not enough of us to meet their demographic profile.

Cheers and beers

Locked my wire coat-hanger in the car - good thing that I always carry spare keys in my pocket :)
