Canceled or Writers Strike


Has anyone actually heard that the show was canceled, or could it just be the writers strike keeping new episodes off the air?

reply

There are unaired episodes...what is keeping CAVEMEN off the air is that its ratings were terrible, just atrocious. ABC got 4x the ratings with 35 year old Charlie Brown Cartoons...is it cancelled? ABC has not officially cancelled and because of the Writer's strike might actually air/burn off the remaining unaired episodes - but I dobut it. The show will be cancelled, sooner if the WGA settles the strike sooner.

The show's ratings were terrible because of its timeslot, it was third in its timeslot.

Is this the signature or still part of the post?

Well, at one point I probably thought that it was just the holiday scheduling or even maybe the writers strike. Now that I've visited the ABC.com site to watch "Full Episodes", I didn't find it there. It WAS there, now "Cavemen" and "Carpoolers" are missing from the full episodes listing. The other shows are still available and they've even added some other shows that were not there before. So, is it canceled? The likeliness of it has risen in light of circumstantial evidence. Maybe another network will pick it up. None the less, I will buy the DVD set when it arrives in stores.

It's only a matter of time before it's officially cancelled.

The sooner the better ... but it would not be shocked if ABC, desperate for new programming, aired the unaired new episodes as filler as the strike goes on...

I expected this to be cancled before the season ended when I first heard that there would be a series based on the commercials.

I agree with you 100%. And to think that ABC actually cancelled good shows like "George Lopez" and "According to Jim" to make room for this trash.

I thought this show would be really bad..and I only watched it because my fiancee wanted to give it a shot...glad I did - I really got into it and looked forward to it and to a slighty lesser extent Carpoolers..

Jk.

i think a lot of people are just like you, they think its crap for a bunch of different reasons. like bad reviews from idiots, or because the idea came from a commerical, as if other ideas from worst tv shows came from better places. i think if they gave it a shot theyd think otherwise.
