Hello Iremisst:

I wanted to scream to the heavens when "New Amsterdam" was canceled. I guess at my age, 57 years, I have gone through this many times and finally getting to except that I must be different, because I watch unpopular shows. I should be more mainstream and watch "Survivor" and "American Idol". I just cannot do it.

So get it out of your system and know you are not alone and also that another show is being developed that will draw you in. They may not last long, but give me 14 episodes of Firefly over multiple seasons of all these so called popular programs.

Here is hoping the next show that grabs your enthusiasm will have a longer stay.

Thanks, Traveler

I too, find it impossible to watch reality shows and that's why this burns my buns so much.

Also, me & hubby could watch it together and nobody fell asleep...

It's just another one of those things in my life that makes me feel so...impotent, for lack of a better word. I've got soooo much of that... And really, that's what attracted me to that show to begin with, nothin' like a theme song more akin to a battle cry-FIRE IT UP! And, ya just never knew which FF star would show up next.

Not to mention, it just takes me so long to connect with any kind of show I know it will be years before I find anything else, *sigh*.

And please, dear Buddha, stay away from the mainstream, it gets stupid in there !

Sorry you lost a show you like, but I have to ask, why would FOX have anything to do with the cancellation of a show that was on CBS?

That would be the same CBS that canceled "Joan of Arcadia".

My heartfelt condolences as well - programming is a harsh mistress - but ECG's question also occurred to me...?

Fox produces The Unit, CBS runs it...

Tell the truth I'm not completely sure CBS didn't drop it but I didn't find anything that said whodunnit so, given Fox's crappy track record and the fact they sold it to another station- yea I'm runnin' with them as did it...

(This is the point where you all jump on the angry bandwagon just cause they cancelled FF...)

Or is that "Grab your Guns and incendiary devices, a la "The Unit" style...

Jayne:"It is my very favorite gun"

Mal:"Well, my days of not takin' you seriously are certainly comin' to a middle"

D@mn, woulda loved to have seen Jayne be a guest star...

Seriously, though- what is wrong with Hollywierd? Why can't they do the one more episode and finish up series instead of leaving 10 million people hanging? I gotta think that last episodes get fairly good ratings and isn't that where networks get their moneys?

IS it that we as a people have such small attention spans (or the Hollyweird execs) that we can't be bothered to stand up and do something about it or are we so used to being screwed over that nobody cares? Is TV important or not? Should I turn it off now and learn how to whittle? If somebody ripped out the last chapter of a good book wouldn't you find that person and beat them senseless? How come they were able to resurect Star Trek years ago and we can't do stuff like that now? Where do I pacify my need to blow sh#t up and see people who deserve it get what's coming to them??

Why do my questions create more questions?

Where are the answers people??????and where's my happy pills, I NEEED my happy pills!......
