WTF do all these show do that... They take multiple midseason extended breaks and lose half their audience....

 

[shopbruin]

i really liked this show too. i was sad to see it go.

Yeah, but Fox is the worst of it. At least Boston Legal survived the crap that ABC tried to pull on them...

 

[EvilYoda]

man, that show really fell fast...you couldn't ask for a better first half for a rookie season, and then *poof!* they disappeared only to have this be their fate.

At least she can still make Stuart Little 4

I never watched them, but shows like Firefly and Wonderfalls never even got a full season. Somtimes a show needs more than 1 season to build a following. Fox was originally going to cancel X-Files after one season, but they gave it another shot and got good ratings, a monster empire of tie-in merchandise, went 7 seasons and even got a theatrical movie (it did poorly, but still). Expecting a show to pull in #1 ratings in 12 eps or less is ridiculous.

Likewise. Between this and The West Wing, this is better IMHO.

yep. Too bad, really. What were the "behind the camera problems" that were cited for the reason the show was dropped?

Seriously, people thought that show was good? I go to a really liberal school (University of Hawai`i), and even my liberal friends there thought it was cheesy and crap. I watched every episode (thanks mininova) and I thought it sucked! It was better watching as satire, than as a real, serious show.

I can't believe it made it past pilot!

I'm still pissed about Hot Properties.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I watched the first, second, and third episodes. I'm glad it's gone. That show was absolute garbage, IMO.

Crew kept giggling at the premise of the show and they had to shoot most of the scenes two or three times.

I hated when WB got rid of Jack and Bobby that was a great show!

 

[BoomerD]

Never carred much for this show. Geena just didn't seem to BE the president. At least with Martin Sheen, you could almost believe him in the part, with her, it was just a crappy fit.

the most i have ever seen of commander in chief is the commericals when i was too lazy to get up and get the remote control.
