Another really good show cancelled


It's a mystery to me how come the shows I like get cancelled. What the hell was wrong with this one? Interesting plot, quirky, touching, well described characters, GOOD acting, what else do you TV channel people need? Oh, of course, money. If you do not know how to make a good show earn you money, you really do not know how to do your work and what your job is about. Pathetic, isn't it?

I agree estonia. It was a really cute and engaging show. Every time I fall in love with a new show it gets cancelled in the first or second season. It's such BS!!! I have stopped watching new shows until I see that it gets picked up...then I binge watch on my DVR.

Ask your cable provider to supply the <IQ Channel. They usually have re-runs of this show and many similar. Not available in all markets, unfortunately, but sometimes OTA (Over-the-Air) antenna stations carry this as well.

They did the same thing with "Samantha Who?" another great show I loved that left viewers with a cliffhanger and ran about the same amount of episodes as "About A Boy". Ugh, that show had everything, interesting storyline involving amnesia, what a cast including Christina Applegate, Jennifer Esposito and pre-stardom Melissa McCarthy. Just tried to revisit it again on Netflix but it looks like it's been pulled. Add "Ben & Kate" and "Ground Floor" to the list of shows that weren't given enough time to pull in viewers.
