Disappointed it's canceled

I am disappointed myself... I really think it's due to being on NBC...
If the show was on HBO/Showtime I think this show would be alot more successful...

You have GOOD taste. This show was awesome, a fun way to spend a Monday night (at least that's when it airs in Canada). I absolutely loved this show. The storyline got stronger and more interesting as time when on, and I atually cared about the characters. This is a rarity for me, as normally I care more about the events and plotline of a show. The leads were great IMO, and I felt this show had a story to tell that could have gone on well into the 70s-80s, right until the end of the Club's heyday. I think the show was overall well casted and executed.

I thought it was cancelled b/c it was competing against Castle and Hawaii 5-O, but it appears as though some on here allude to an entirely different reason. If (and only if) it's true this show got cancelled because it's "too controversial" that's a sad pathetic day for the States. This show is not about sexuality or nudity (not that there's anything wrong with either to begin with), it is about revolution. Flip a few channels down on your digital cable box and you can see "Girls Gone Wild" on HDnet or gasp, the real Playboy channel. Big deal.

I don't know how reality shows like The Bachelor and H8ter are fair game for the North American viewing public, but a show depicting real life struggles in the 60s (racism, homophobia, women's sexuality, the mob, etc.)is somehow taboo.

All of that said, I'm assuming it was probably cancelled due to low ratings, which in that case, what can you do other than complain..haha...

Bring back The Playboy Club!!

I agree, I just got back from lunch and a co-worker informed me that it has been canceled. VERY upset by this news. Bye-bye Eddie Cibrian (and your dreamy dimples too!).

I tried and gave up in the first 8 minutes.

I was interested, and vaguely hopeful, that the thing might have had a bit of subtlety, perhaps a sense of the times, maybe driven by character and serious, but not quite life and death, conflicts experienced at the societal and the individual level in those heady times.

In the first 8 minutes, what I remember is a cliched ingenue staring wide-eyed at a cliched soulful singer, saying something like "I wish I could be her" (shades of Showgirls???), then a stereotypically ugly and rude villain following our ingenue into a backroom, trying to force the deed on her, until he was slayed by a wonderfully handsome, rock-jawed hero, leading to that most quintessential of all questions arising from the Playclub era: What Do We Do With The Rich, Mean Gang-Connected Bad Guy's Corpse?

And yes, the backroom of a bar is where the rich and powerful decided to do the deed, because What?, getting a piece is really difficult if you're monied and powerful??? Heck, even Kobe and that banker guy managed to knock off quickies in a high-end hotel room... And handsome, rock-jawed heroes always show up in the nick of time, just like the good ol' Westerns of the 40s and 50s.

At that point, I figured I had stumbled on yet another variant of that durable staple, that CSI/NCIS/Law & Order sort of thing that features a corpse and sordid backstory pretty much every 30 minutes, and I stopped watching, but making sure that the PVR was set up to catch Boardwalk Empire & Californication before leaving the TV room.

And yes, being on some cable network would have offered more range, but potential, with respect to my taste, to no avail unless the whole approach to story telling was changed.

So, I guess I'd say I'm more disappointed that it wasn't to my taste; given that it wasn't, I can't really say I'm dissapointed that it was cancelled.


Apparently, dogs are wolves with Williams-Beuren Syndrome.

Yeah, I was quite enjoying the show too. I mean, 3 episodes isn't really a lot to make a complete judgement, but I certainly didn't hate what they'd done so far, was looking forward to it each week, and thought it had a lot of potential. I watched one ep of Pan Am, actually, I had to watch it in two sittings, because I literally fell asleep half way through it the first time lol. Just terrible.

in future, I don't think I'm going to watch any US shows until they're into their 2nd season, will save a lot of disappointment.

I somewhat enjoy the first episode, but then it go down from there. The main girl was unbearable stupid, lol



Racist Game = Pool. WHITE ball push COLORED balls back into holes. BLACK ball out = you win.

I am so disappointed I could cry. I looooved this show. Thought it had a very intriguing storyline and loved all the music and dancing. How do we get it back on? Any suggestions?
