Oh, please tell me this is getting picked up for another season!


They can't leave it like that... not knowing whether Chris and Mike are dead or alive, Chloe going to med school to become a doctor... I want there to be another season!

well I know that now. They're cancelling this for a spin off of Law and Order? Do we really need another law/crime show? ugh.

reply

I agree. I can see them dropping Trauma because it struggled from day one but Mercy was holding up pretty well until recently (partly due to the change in time slot). Anyway, that was the ONLY thing worth watching on NBC.

We gotta keep up with petitions- spread the word. Do everything in your power. Sign any mercy petition you find, talk to people. Call nbc. Go online and make a facebook page about it. If you really love the show, you can save it. It happened with Chuck, SOuthland, Friday Night Lights- its not over.

I hope you are right. I will do my part for sure.

Mercy was pretty good. I started out just hoping for an ER replacement, and while it turned out to really be nothing like ER, it grew on me pretty quickly in its own right. So I'm really sorry to hear about this cancellation. I will definitely sign any petitions I can find. Maybe someone will else will pick it up if NBC won't reconsider.

You're right about Southland and others that were saved. It may not be too late. Plus, Southland really belongs on a cable network like TNT, so that worked out for the best IMO. Maybe Mercy will "luck out" and find itself a better home, as well.

It sucks that they would end the show this way. Like giving the finger to the remaining viewers. WHY can't writers -- especially on shows that are iffy for renewal -- write endings that would be satisfactory in case of cancellation?

reply

It looks like Mercy is gone. Read about it in the paper yesterday. Will always have a spot in my heart for this show, as I played a homeless extra on it.

reply

The unresolved story lines would make a terrific movie. We can always hope.

reply

I started a facebook group in order to bring Mercy back.

There are also other links on the page in order to sign other petitions, this way we can really show we care.

Here is a link!

I wish a network like Oxygen would pick it up.

I can't believe NBC canceled "Mercy" but would pick up a show that looks as stupid as "The Cape."
