NBC is staffed with idiots.

I never saw this show until today when I watched the episode I recorded this week. It is ironic that as the viewing public has gained far more choices, the networks have far less patience with its shows. This show is great! I just didn't know about it. I am sure that I am not the only one who either just discovered it or would have discovered it. NBC, do you think that you are so central to all of our lives that we all take the time to make sure that we've perused each show in your lineup? Have you ever heard of word of mouth? Sometimes it takes time for a show to catch on. NBC is losing a good show because the attention deficit riddled executives have no patience.

I discovered it by accident (because of the "amazing" promotion effort by the network, I never even knew this show existed - go NBC!) and watched the first 4 episodes in a mini-marathon online during a treadmill workout and loved it. I then was able to watch the rest on TiVo, but, as ever, my choices in network programming are ALWAYS the cancelled shows that I love.

Weeds, Rescue Me, Breaking Bad and Californication are 4 shows that my husband and I didn't start watching until the 2nd (or 3rd) season. Thank goodness the cable networks give their shows a fighting chance and promote them like crazy. NBC could learn a thing or two from them. I'm so mad that Love Bites has been cancelled.

you know this show was filmed a year ago right? This was just a fill in show, most of the people on the show moved on to other projects

I've been looking for this show and couldn't find it - so funny! I wanted to watch more. Knew the message board would have the answer. Idiots is sooooo correct and not just a temporary lapse in patience or judgement but going back years. They almost cancelled Seinfeld and turned down the original CSI, that then went to CBS and made them tons of money. This show could have built a following, if people only knew it was on and had some network support/advertising. IDIOTS INDEED.

I never knew about this show until I found out that Michelle Trachtenberg is in it. I love her so much and wow I love this show too. What a funny show... and I'm disappointed that it's gone.
