Aliens in America

Aliens in America deserves another shot..it's the Malcom in the Middle of its generation.
Journeyman should have a chance with another Network or Sci FI or somewhere else...most creative show on TV....but I won't hold my breath on the suits renewing this one.
Posted by: bill | March 13, 2008 at 06:57 AM
Journeyman never stood a chance, it was way too brilliant and creative for American audiences. At least we can look forward to dozens and dozens and dozens of reality shows that won't tax their brains too badly...
Posted by: Mark Hain | March 13, 2008 at 07:29 AM
Carpoolers is an awesome show......the title isn't catchy, but neither was Friends. Both titles told you what the story was about. The cast is wonderful.
I am so glad to see Life and Dirty, Sexy Money are on for more......Law & Order's are pending?????How about we bring back Fred Thompson and get Jack McCoy back into the courtroom....leaving way for the new Asst DA to have his own trials. Law & Order CI needs Goren to drop a few pounds....other than that, it's perfection.
30Rock pending????Are you kidding? After all the awards it has garnered.
TV execs need to reconnect with their balls and give some of this TV a chance to grow an audience.
All the reality TV is growing tiring and they won't have any established programming to go to when that happens. With life being tougher in the USA, we need happy, fun TV instead of arguing, ugly, semi-reality.
Posted by: Mary Supinger | March 13, 2008 at 07:47 AM
Where is Eli Stone on this list? Love that show! ABC should bring it back!
Posted by: Attila | March 13, 2008 at 09:28 AM
October Road had such an awesome finale, ABC just has to bring it back! A lot of the so-called critics put the show down at it's start but I think they just can't recognize quality tv anymore. I've watched this show from the pilot episode on, never missing a minute. In spite of ABC only giving it 2 partial seasons, haphazard scheduling with limited promoting, OR has amassed an enormous amount of loyal fans who want to see the show continue. This great show deserves a third season! Long live October Road!!!!
Posted by: jeddiefan | March 13, 2008 at 11:48 AM
October Road deserves a chance with another season. I agree with Jeddiefan. If the show had more exposure I am sure there would be more viewers. Please ABC keep this show for next season.
Posted by: Donna | March 13, 2008 at 12:08 PM
Totally amazing show. All of this talk about Eddie and Janet... ok, we are all curious. But there is so much more substance. I was dissapointed there was no follow up from when Owen went to talk to Allison. That was a huge milestone for them. I;m excited to see what happens with Aubrey and Ronnie. How Nick takes the news. Also excited for the Big Cat Drama, adds extra excitement and STRESS! lol. It's a wonderfully put together program that shows amzaing, realistic and meaningful relationships.
This WILL be a turning point in television and will continue to grow and bring people together.
New shows are difficult to latch on to. I didn't watch Grey's until season 3 and love it.
This show is a gem. Very heart warming.
Posted by: jillcbu | March 13, 2008 at 12:13 PM
October Road needs to get another season. This is the BEST SHOW on TV and still has a lot of stories to tell about these fabulous characters. ABC needs to promote it more and give it a better day/timeslot. Please ABC...renew October Road for another season!
Posted by: Tiffany | March 13, 2008 at 12:15 PM
I'm probably in the minority, but Journeyman is the biggest tragedy of this season. A smart, exciting and most all fun show that never received the push it deserves. It's a shame there's not enough episodes to possibly flourish in syndication and return later....but it will someday be one of those
"Brilliant" but cancelled shows.
If you can syndicate something like "The Dead Zone" or "4400" or Stargate...the same should be done for Journeyman. OH WELL............
Posted by: jackson | March 13, 2008 at 12:18 PM
I am a great supporter for October Road. It is the best show I have seen in a while. I really liked when they took you back to their childhood. I believe we need more shows out there where people are kind. Yet it has some exciting parts too. It left a lot of unanswered questions in the plots and would be great if there were lots of advertising for the fall. I believer more would watch it. There is a lot of support as you can go to several sites and find it. For a starter go to the message board on October Road and start there and you will see. You can also go toNeynielsen.com and see all the support too. SO please give it a chance.
Posted by: Marcia | March 13, 2008 at 12:21 PM
I am a huge October Road fan. I will be truly saddened if this show is canceled. The fan base is big and keeps getting bigger but has had the unfortunate problem of being switched with days and times, given a bad time slot, pre-empts and absolutely no advertising. Given a better time slot, and advertising this show would grow beyond belief. Please, bring this show back ABC and give it the time slot and advertising it deserves!!
Posted by: avongal | March 13, 2008 at 12:26 PM
Cain is on the bubble, are you kidding? And October Road those are 2 of the best shows out there please give me a break
Posted by: been88 | March 13, 2008 at 12:29 PM
I'm a huge October Road fan. This show has been a wonderful addition to the ABC family, despite being largely ignored. Despite the horrible Monday night at 10pm time slot, it has chugged along, trying to hold it's own. With close to zero advertising, it has managed to accumulate a huge fan base and an almost cult-like following. Please help us to save this show. There's so few real people on TV, and this show is one of them. An honorable mention to Men in Trees as well!
Posted by: Carmen | March 13, 2008 at 12:44 PM
I have watched October Road since the first episode and It just keeps getting better! Please ABC, keep OR. It is a show with heart and character. The stories and people involved are people most of us relate to as they somewhat parallel people we all know. This show is so much better than the reality programming and the cop, doctor and lawyer shows all crammed down our throat. I want to see who Sam's dad is, how the Commander and the dean make out, if Nick and HJ and Janet and Eddie ever get together! Give us a season three for the best show on television. You won't be disappointed!
Posted by: Siobhan | March 13, 2008 at 01:11 PM
Please bring October Road back. its the best show on TV. Characters are awesome and so was the finale, I'm addicted. Could use a 9pm time slot though, I usually end up watching online.
Posted by: kim | March 13, 2008 at 01:11 PM
October Road is the best show on TV (along with Men in Trees) and cannot be cancelled!!! We need more seasons of October Road on ABC since there are many open storylines!!! Please give us more October Road!!!
Posted by: Jen | March 13, 2008 at 01:12 PM
L&O: Criminal Intent MUST continue!!!!!!!! I thought it was doing well for USA Network. I wish the powers-that-be would wait until we have a normal season of programs before they make these goofy decisions.
Posted by: Fleur | March 13, 2008 at 01:18 PM
October Road is the best thing out there. Romance, friendships, male bonding what more could you ask for - well I'll tell you many more seasons of October Road! If you missed it check it out on DVD or I Tunes or ABC.com
Posted by: HEidi W | March 13, 2008 at 01:20 PM
How can ABC even consider cancelling October Road? The show is completely addictive. I cannot take anymore crappy reality television! I also was surprised to see The Office and 30 Rock on this list. Are you kidding me? I also enjoy Men in Trees and Carpoolers. Why cancel decent shows? I don't understand how the Nielson rating system works. Who are they asking?
Posted by: Suzy | March 13, 2008 at 01:28 PM
ABC needs to listen to it's viewers and renew October Road. It is one of the best shows on TV and deserves a better time slot! Enough of reality TV - October Road is the best show in years!
Posted by: Angie | March 13, 2008 at 01:34 PM
It is such a shame that these networks don't give more of a chance to some of these shows. I understand that they have to make room for the new ones, but maybe new isn't always better. Sometimes a show much like a child or plant need nourishment, and support. So, maybe they should try to support what they already have and see that it has potential.
I don't get it really, Nothing against those that like " Pushing Daisies" but i personally couldn't get with it. I tried but everytime i turned it on, i found myself zoning out. So the network wants to keep that, but get rid of one of it's best guilty pleasures " Boston Legal " I didn't watch this show from the begginning season, but boy do i wish i had. It has definitely caught me. I love this show. And October Road has got to be one of the best things ABC has put on it's network in a long time.
CBS, what are you thinking??? Jericho would have a much better viewing audience if you would just put it on, and don't move it around. That was the problem with the first season, and the second season has been great even if it is a small season. And Cane is a wonderful new show, it is good to see some ethnicity coming around. The Unit, please don't get rid of it, it's a great show and i would really hate to see it go.
CW, please people like the Reaper Show, give something a chance.
Posted by: Jaime | March 13, 2008 at 01:35 PM
October Road is the best show on television. ABC please renew this great show with great characters and great relationships. The fans need this type of TV.
Posted by: Debbie | March 13, 2008 at 01:41 PM
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL OCTOBER ROAD! ABC needs to do more to promote this show and give it a better time slot.
Posted by: Rhonda | March 13, 2008 at 01:43 PM
Save October Road! Best show in years - finally ABC has it right and now they may cancel it! Please do not cancel October Road.
Posted by: John | March 13, 2008 at 01:54 PM
DON'T CANCEL OCTOBER ROAD!! It's the only show on TV worth watching! Please please please keep OCTOBER ROAD!!!
Posted by: Kate | March 13, 2008 at 01:57 PM
Please bring back October Road. This is the best show in years! The finale this week was the best I've seen out of any show on any network. ABC has something good here and would be foolish to let it go. SAVE OCTOBER ROAD!
Posted by: Anthony | March 13, 2008 at 01:59 PM
Please keep October Road, it may have been slow to take off but turned into the next best thing to Grey's Anatomy!I am a mom of 3 and a grandmother and I even love it! Please consider bringing it back. More people watch it than you realize.
Posted by: Mamaw | March 13, 2008 at 02:04 PM
Please bring back October Road. It's a great show and the characters are so relatable. Best show on TV hands down.
Posted by: Nate | March 13, 2008 at 02:05 PM
I love October Road. Please ABC, big back the Road!!
There are just too many unanswered questions... I need my O-Road.
Posted by: Tammy | March 13, 2008 at 02:12 PM
I agree with all on October Road. Please do not cancel one of the best shows. I'm not one for TV, but a friend convinced me to watch it with her and now I can't stop! I look forward to it and watch it online too!
Posted by: Jane | March 13, 2008 at 02:15 PM
OCTOBER ROAD is such a great show! The characters are so easy to relate to, the writing is clever, and I'm always left with a smile on my face. I can't even believe we even have to appeal to ABC to keep it. It seems like such a great fit for their network. It's in such a bad time slot though. If they would move it and * gasp * promote it, it would do much better in the ratings.
Posted by: leftybrunette | March 13, 2008 at 02:20 PM
PLease save October Road! Bring it back for a second season!!!
Posted by: laurie | March 13, 2008 at 02:25 PM
THIS IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV!! MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL BE DISAPPOINTED IF THIS IS CANCELLED BUT IN THE BACK OF MY MIND I KNOW IT WON'T BECAUSE OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE THIS SHOW LIKE ME!!
Posted by: Sarah | March 13, 2008 at 02:26 PM
Please save October Road! Bring it back for a third season!!!
Posted by: laurie | March 13, 2008 at 02:26 PM
October Road is an amazing show and definitely needs to be kept on the air! From the writers, to the actors this show is truly one of a kind. The characters interact so wonderful and really make you feel like you "know" them. Plus it's a show you can watch with your family, friends, significant other or just by yourself. There is really no other show on the air that has that quality. Advertising and giving the show publicity would truly help a lot. How can a show do well if nobody really knows it exsists? I mean really, that is just not right and unfair. For shows like Grey's Anatomy that EVERYONE knows exsist, show less commericals and advertisements for them and show more for October Road. I just hope the right thing is done and whoever makes the final decision at ABC decides to keep October Road on for many seasons to come. :o)
Posted by: Stephanie | March 13, 2008 at 02:33 PM
If October Road is cancelled for next season, that will be it for me and ABC. Every time they come out with a good solid heartwarming show, they move it around to places where they want the audience to be, when we simply cannot watch the night of there choosing. October Road started on Tuesdays, that was good. Mondays were ok too. Now we are all engrossed and invested in each character the network is thinking they will cancel the show?? Another reason whey everyone is going to the cable networks to watch their programming. The Big 3 will not invest in the worthy shows. I promise ABC.. No October Road for me.. I will block ABC all together! No Desperate Housewives, no Brothers & Sisters, I will stop watching anything that has ABC support.
Posted by: Rebecca | March 13, 2008 at 02:38 PM
Hey CBS.. I feel the same about Jericho! Bring it back or lose my viewership of all your programs!
Posted by: Rebecca | March 13, 2008 at 02:40 PM
OCTOBER ROAD: Please keep this wonderful show on TV. We still need drama and sit coms on television there is enough reality tv now and it is getting boring!!! I love all the story lines and characters on this show. Thanks!!:)
Posted by: DebbieG | March 13, 2008 at 02:44 PM
October Road:
I don't enjoy many of the reality shows, I've lost interest in rich, hot doctors, housewives and lawyers and I cannot stomach the crime, rape dramas. I do enjoy plain old October Road though.
Leslie
Posted by: Leslie | March 13, 2008 at 02:48 PM
Please bring back October Road. This is truly an engaging, enjoyable, and wonderful show about PEOPLE. These stories must be told.
Posted by: Karen | March 13, 2008 at 02:49 PM
Please bring October Road back for a 3rd season. it is the best show on tv it deserves a FULL 22 episode 3rd season.
Posted by: Julie | March 13, 2008 at 02:57 PM
Jericho is the best show on television and has no equal!! Powerful writing, acting and an incredible story line. One of those rare shows that actually makes you think!!
CBS would do well to give it a much deserved Season 3.
If it is not renewed, CBS will lose the viewership of our family of 7 - period!!
Posted by: PamLa7 | March 13, 2008 at 03:13 PM
Hi,
I am asking, well begging, ABC to not cancel October Road. It is the only show that I watch with no distractions any time it's on. I love Grey's and Ugly Betty too, but I am OBSESSED with October Road! Judging from the comments on this board so are many others!
PLEASE KEEP OCTOBER ROAD!!!
Posted by: Christine | March 13, 2008 at 03:29 PM
I lose Jericho,than
CBS loses me! Jericho is an incredible show.
Posted by: christine | March 13, 2008 at 03:34 PM
There's lots and lots of duplicates on the ABC listing above. But then again, some of those shows are so great that they deserve to be listed twice!
Posted by: snowmaiden | March 13, 2008 at 03:50 PM
I really love October Road, I hope that ABC is smart enough to renew it for next season.
Posted by: maria | March 13, 2008 at 04:10 PM
I absolutely love October Road! Please do not cancel! We have so many unanswered questions!
Posted by: Amy | March 13, 2008 at 04:23 PM
October Road is really a good show. It has a terrible time slot and is not promoted well. ABC would be making a HUGE mistake not renewing this show. It is sooooo good!
Posted by: Juleslhw | March 13, 2008 at 04:24 PM
OCTOBER ROAD is the reason my husband and I have come back to ABC. This show appeals to men and women with it's funny dialogue and drama. There are too many unanswered questions that must be addressed in season 3. The cast is great and storylines have a long way to go. Please bring it back.
Posted by: TexasORfan | March 13, 2008 at 04:37 PM
What Goes ON? October Road on the bubble? That is WRONG!! I love this show! I love the Characters!! I love the writing! I love the relationships between everyone on the Canvas!!! The acting!! The Music!! I Love Janet and Eddie!! They broke my heart in the finale and I need to see a season 3 so they can forgive and make up!! I just need more good shows to watch and I have to say that October Road is the best show on right now!! ABC has a good thing! Advertise and give it a better time slot and for the love of HooDeHoo give it a FULL season!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Tonya | March 13, 2008 at 04:58 PM
I need to join in on renewing Journeyman next season. This was fascinating enough of a show to keep viewers coming back. Someone at the network needs to think this through before it is too late.
Posted by: GvB | March 13, 2008 at 05:32 PM
PLEASE keep October Road on for a third season. Every week I look forward to a stress free, relaxing, heart felt story line that is real and enjoyable. I agree that the time slot would be more desirable at 9:00 p.m. and they need more advertising. PLEASE ABC!!
Posted by: Katie | March 13, 2008 at 05:33 PM
I love this show. It has something for everyone. Great characters, good story telling, a cozy setting and the best actors going. What a cast! Geoff, Bryan, Laura, Rebecca and Tom... among a great many other great actors. This show needs to survive. IT has an audience, it just doesn't seem to be the majority of Neilsen families. On the right night, with the right promotion, this show would thrive and gain a larger portion of the audience. I hope ABC gives this show a green light and we get our third season of OR. We need to know what happens with Janet and Eddie, we need to see Hannah and Nick REALLY reconnect and we need to know that the Commander is going to make it. And, come on, after all of this, Sam needs a dad! This show just has to make it.
Posted by: DreamerRoad | March 13, 2008 at 07:03 PM
I hope they don't cancel October Road I really want to know what happens to all the characters!
Posted by: Lilith | March 13, 2008 at 07:14 PM
October Road should come back for a season 3. It's a great show that should be given another chance. People can relate to the characters and the storylines. It needs a season 3, so many questions are left unanswered.
Posted by: JO | March 13, 2008 at 08:07 PM
Please don't cancel October Road!! Bring it back - great acting, quirky characters. And no more reality TV - PLEASE!!
Posted by: Yvonne | March 13, 2008 at 08:21 PM
October Road should def. come back for a third season. As the season finale left us with questions still unanswered and now we want to see what happens with jeddie (hopefully we will see them get back together). However, this show should def. be saved!!!!
Posted by: Jenn | March 13, 2008 at 08:22 PM
Please, Please, please bring back October Road. It is small town, what America is made up of- reguardless of where your small town is. We all know these people, we all have an Owen,Eddie, Janet, Nick... we know these people, please let us see how their story plays out. PLEASE!
Posted by: MaryAnn | March 13, 2008 at 08:55 PM
ABC PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL OCTOBER ROAD! Listen to your viewers - WE LOVE IT!
Posted by: Michelle | March 13, 2008 at 09:00 PM
Save the one decent show on your network - October Road! Everytime I watch the show I find myself relating to some of the characters and the music is so good! October Road brings my whole family together - we all love it! Please, Please - do not cancel October Road!
Posted by: Amanda | March 13, 2008 at 09:04 PM
ABC, please save October Road! I have seen every episode, and I look forward to it every week. I love each and every character. There is so much much of the story left to unfold, it would really be a let down to the viewers and the actors/writers/crew to leave such a quality story unfinished. Bring on Season 3! Thank you.
Posted by: Alison | March 13, 2008 at 09:43 PM
"Prison Break" gets my vote!
Posted by: pinkpuppies | March 13, 2008 at 10:11 PM
October Road must stay! It's the only show that my wife and I watch together. Love the music too. I did air guitar to REO Speedwagon's "Roll With The Changes" just last week on my way home from work.
Posted by: joel | March 13, 2008 at 10:58 PM
ABC - please keep making Men In Trees!!! Everybody loves that show, all over the country! Everybody has seen it and likes it. It's Northern Exposure lite! Great characters and cliff hangers that keep you waiting for the next episode.
Posted by: annie | March 13, 2008 at 11:10 PM
How can you say that shows like ER and Law & Order are pending when it's already being reported that they have been renewed? And The Office and 30 Rock pending? Come on! NBC LOVES those shows. Of course they'll be back. And Medium on the bubble??!!!! It's already being reported that it's been renewed!!
Posted by: Dawn | March 13, 2008 at 11:34 PM
OMG! OMG!!!! How is Law & Order on the bubble? This season was great and is better than anything quality and ratings wise than anything else (excluding Law & Order: SVU) that NBC has aired there! Are they smoking something?
Posted by: Any | March 13, 2008 at 11:50 PM
If CBS does not renew Jericho then I will NEVER watch CBS again.
Posted by: Barb | March 14, 2008 at 07:03 AM
PLEEEEASE!! DO NOT cancel October Road. I have to say this is now my #1 show. My husband and I have watched this show since the beginning and look forward to watching it every week. It is the BEST!! Please bring it back!
Posted by: Jennifer | March 14, 2008 at 07:50 AM
PLEASE keep October Road on the air, it would be almost as devastating as when you took off 'My So-Called Life' 13 years ago!!!!!
October Road is the only show I watch. It's interesting, dynamic and heartwarming. Keep it on, we need to find out so many things, who is Sam's father??? Will Hannah and Nick end up together? Will the Commander live? The suspense!
Posted by: MolAspen | March 14, 2008 at 07:55 AM
Here is a vote for both Terminator: SCC and Prison Break. My wife and I wouldn't know what do to on Mondays without those two awesome shows!

I love October road, there aren't many shows worth watching these days, but I really look forward to 'the road', it brightens up my week when it's on, we need to have answers for all our questions, this can't be the end of the road. Please bring it back ABC.
Posted by: Ches | March 14, 2008 at 09:14 AM
I love this show! Nick, Sam, Hannah, the Commander, Ronnie, Eddie, Janet are all such wonderful characters. I seldomly get sucked into shows anymore, but October Road is one of the gems! Please give us fans the answers we are looking for, WHO IS SAM'S DAD?????? Why can't Nick write???? Will the Commander get better? When will Big Cat get his karmic backlash????? I need to know!!!!!! Season 3!!!!!!
Posted by: Tiff S. | March 14, 2008 at 09:20 AM
I would be devistated if October Road is canceled!! There have never been a show that I have loved like I love this one!!!
ABC has nothing else worth watching other than all that reality crap!

Really hope Reaper and Eli Stone come back next season.
Posted by: Jim | March 14, 2008 at 09:45 AM
More "people" have wrote about October Road here than have ever watched it. I smell a rat.
Posted by: Chris | March 14, 2008 at 09:58 AM
I just want to make sure ABC is thinking about all the support for October Road. I hope they will consider to keep it on the air. I got started watching when Er was off for 2 weeks and right from the beginning thought it was a keeper. I even gave up watching ER so I could watch October Road even thought I still like ER. Please keep this October Road show on the air.
Posted by: Marcia | March 14, 2008 at 11:18 AM
How can the networks be so wrong? The Unit? Boston Legal? How I Met Your Mother? These are all great shows that deserve to come back next season... CBS and ABC learn from NBC's mistake with cancelling Las Vegas. Don't let these shows go away... And that goes for the CW too! Bring back Reaper!!!
Posted by: Mike | March 14, 2008 at 02:25 PM
Carpoolers should be renewed not in a bubble!! Dear TV Guide critics, please go back and watch this show and try not to associate it with Cavemen. Carpoolers is so funny, not stupid like Cavemen and it just got a bad rap by being programmed at the same time. I guarantee if you watch the Handsomest Man In The Building and the First Fight episodes you'll be hooked. Dear TV Guide, please help us save this show by featuring it as one of your funniest shows you're not watching.
Posted by: robinbobin | March 14, 2008 at 02:37 PM
Moonlight rocks! I really want to see Moonlight back for a second season. I really like several other shows currently on tv, but Moonlight is the one I'm most excited about this season. Bring Moonlight back for season 2!

I love October Road! I hope ABC lets Road have a season #3....I will be so disappointed if they do not!
Posted by: kathleen | March 14, 2008 at 02:47 PM
October Road is the best show! ABC should move it to Thursday after Grey's Anatomy...give it another chance ...in a good time slot!
Posted by: kailen | March 14, 2008 at 02:53 PM
Alot of people want questions answered. I understand. Makes sense. Honestly, keep the show on for several years and I don't need answers. Don't get me wrong. I would love to find out certain things, but what I enjoy more is the cast and their overall chemistry with each other. It just works.. I enjoy the storylines tremendously. The setting is perfect. It's totally down to earth. To make a greater point, Sex and the City and Grey's Anatomy were my all time favorites.. October Road doesn't fit my typical t.v. preference. I can say with much confidence as each season passed, OR has come closer to being my #1 of all times. I am completely hooked. Thanks!

Eli Stone, house, how i met your mother, scrubs, october road, and reaper all need to be renewed. they are awesome shows!!
Posted by: Jen | March 14, 2008 at 04:58 PM
"Desperate Housewives" has run out its course. Either way you put it, the show does not have sparks. Every episode attempts to add a different character as to boost the ratings, but it would fail. Give it time, maybe several seasons before the show would finally collapse.
Posted by: Illya Osherov | March 14, 2008 at 05:27 PM
The show "Scrubs" does not have any talent in it, and should have been killed a long time ago. However, it is magically put on a respirator and given some air. I guess the show has a fun on the network who likes watching idiotic shows. It seems to me that some network executives love to save some failing shows as to remind themselves of how to make better shows.
Posted by: Illya Osherov | March 14, 2008 at 06:27 PM
I love Bones! We got a short season 3 and we're hoping for a longer and even better season 4. Plus we need to see if Booth and Brennan finally get together!
Posted by: Chelsea | March 14, 2008 at 07:06 PM
PLEASE RENEW OCTOBER ROAD! This is the best show on television...finally a show where you can really care about the characters and enjoy spending time with them each week! And you gotta LOVE the music! Keep on Rollin!
Posted by: ShellNJ | March 14, 2008 at 07:20 PM
why is house pending? are they kidding me?
Posted by: houseaddict | March 14, 2008 at 09:15 PM
I don't believe there is a rat smell in October Road's listings. There are a lot of supporters out there and not just on the abc blog. There are all kinds of sites with supporters.
Posted by: Marcia | March 15, 2008 at 12:35 AM
October Road MUST come back for another season and many many more! I have watched this show with my husband from the very first episode and We love every minute of it! I have also worked my butt of getting everyone I know watching this wonderful show so please we must vote to keep it on the air.
Posted by: tabberna | March 15, 2008 at 01:03 AM
Please RENEW OCTOBER ROAD!!!! This is the best show on television in quite a while.
Posted by: blush_blonde | March 15, 2008 at 01:06 AM
There is so much potential for October Road! Please don't let it go! What goes on, ABC?
Posted by: tcdpjr | March 15, 2008 at 01:24 AM
OCTOBER ROAD, MEN IN TREES and JERICHO all deserve to be renewed! They have all been on short schedules and some have moved time slots and we are still following them wherever they go, because we love them and care about what happens to the wonderful characters!
Posted by: Lynn | March 15, 2008 at 01:45 AM
Speaking of bubbles, who's the bubblehead at CBS who renewed the low rated "Big Bang Theory" and left the very good rated "The Unit" in the bubble?
Just goes to show you that the nets could give a rat's behind about quality programming.
Posted by: Becca | March 15, 2008 at 02:39 AM
OCTOBER ROAD is great show,best on TV right now in my opinion.Please bring it back next season!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Marta | March 15, 2008 at 06:19 AM
This is a message to NBC please renew Criminal Intent we can't get USA network,so we need your network to see the show.
Posted by: sandra | March 15, 2008 at 09:42 AM
I don't think it's fair that all the popular shows get renewed first and get more media. These shows should all get a fair chance in being renewed, and be rated by the actual storyline. For example, Bones has an amazing storyline but doesn't get as much media as it should.
Posted by: Kaitlin` | March 15, 2008 at 10:50 AM
Gee- do you think a fan site of October Road might have posted about this link?
I have no dog in this fight and could not care less if October Road stays or goes, but seriously people - you might at least try to be subtle and throw in the name of a few other shows - instead of having all 42 fans of this show pop up at once.
Or did you all think you were so clever and sneaky that nobody would notice that, of ALL these TV shows, the entire population of America only cares about that one show?
Posted by: DMark | March 15, 2008 at 01:33 PM
IT IS NO SECRET THAT OCTOBER ROAD FANS ARE CAMPAIGNING TO SAVE THE SHOW.
Ratings obviously prove
that all of the shows listed are struggling so I highly doubt ALL of America would care about one show, and that is clearly not the intention.
So many people have not even heard of the show, and it has received poor reviews from critics unfortunately. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Our goal is to bring awareness to this show. It is a FACT to the critic that they are not fond of the show, but also a FACT to the fans that we love it.
I can guarantee there is no sneaking around when it comes to our passion to save it and have others to jump on the bandwagon. That is our goal.
Nobody can defy ratings.But we certainly can promote it and hope ABC feels secure enough to bring it back.
I don't think it would be honest to throw in names of other shows, as I think that would be sneaky, since OR is the only show on this list that I care about since it's the only one I really KNOW about.
I hope that clears things up
We all have one purpose on this entry and that is to promote our show, whichever show that may be!
P.S.
I am against any sneakyness at all. That can only get you so far, if anywhere at all. And I certainly hope there is honesty in everyones efforts to save their show.
People's jobs are on the line if they bring back a show that shouldn't be. I certainly hope everyone is fair. Alot more people are involved than just the fan's desire to keep a show on air. I am sure network jobs are on the line if they make the wrong decision.
Also, one of our OR fans had asked in a message board if OR would benefit if we vote against other shows on a specific online poll. The amazing response filled me with joy. WE ALL WERE AGAINST FOCUSING ON THE DEMISE OF OTHER SHOWS AND MADE IT VERY CLEAR.
We want OR back, but also want to feel confident that it is brought back due to honesty, not manipulation. I would recommend any other fans of other programs to pass the word about this site as well. Word of mouth has an effect as you can see. Who knows, maybe I will jump on your bandwagon as well! The more I hear good about something, the easier it is for me to become intruiged. Lord knows we could ALL use some good shows! lol
My best wishes to everyone and their show!
Posted by: Jill | March 15, 2008 at 02:24 PM
Where is Journeyman in this list???
There are thousands of J/Man fans out there, organizing a campaign to save this very creative and original show. We all feel this was a great show that deserves at least one more season.
Posted by: bleu0960 | March 15, 2008 at 09:24 PM
This is not about bashing one another. I am all for your support for your own show. WE October Road people are trying to support our show to be on next season. WE are not trying to do this so your show or any other show is not on the air. This is about getting our show to be noticed and let them see that it is popular and we would like a third season. I go for that comment October Road, Men in Trees and Jericho be saved. This is not a fight just support.
Posted by: Marcia | March 15, 2008 at 09:33 PM
Great show, quirky yet realistic characters. Awesome cast. By far my favorite show on TV.
I love the way that these writers have developed characters who are imperfect and lovable. The cast are so talented in the way they make these characters pop off the screen and into our hearts. October Road should be winning awards, not teetering on the edge of being canceled. C'mon, network execs, get a clue...
Posted by: Cherie | March 15, 2008 at 09:48 PM
Obviously I have touched a nerve for the fans of October Road.
While I admire your resolve, this is not the way to do it. Any executive reading this knows it is a fan-based site that caused this sudden rash of gush for the show. I could probably find as many people to beg for the return of Cavemen - equally to no avail here.
If you REALLY want to save the show, this is not the forum. Do like the fans of Jerico and Arrested Development did and, wherever your fan site is, spread the word THERE - sign a huge petition and send that directly to the network, and then send copies to all the advertisers.
Posting here only serves to prove you are, at best, a small fringe group of fans trying to pretend you are representative of a larger core audience. Trust me when I say this ain't gonna work here.
Posted by: DMark | March 16, 2008 at 03:27 AM
Sorry, but October Road is one of the most hideous shows on the air right now. I can't wait until it's gone.
Posted by: Spike | March 16, 2008 at 08:25 AM
I just hope Terminator is coming back. It's one of the few shows on FOX that's good.
Posted by: WalMark | March 16, 2008 at 10:32 AM
October Road is amazing. Great cast and storylines. I'm shocked to find out it's in jeopardy. That's not good. I love all of the comments here. Looks like some people are upset at the reaction for this great show. I highly doubt people think this site will "save" any show. Being an executive , one webiste is not going to seal the deal. lol. Great way to advertise our favorite shows though! Good luck everyone!
Posted by: Stella D | March 16, 2008 at 12:16 PM
We are trying to say that October Road is the only important show here. We are just fans trying to express our feelings on this site. WE are doing other things too. I do not want to see this show leave the air and it a free country to express freedom of speech. I am all for all other shows to post what they want too.
Posted by: Marcia | March 16, 2008 at 01:27 PM
Sorry I meant to say that we are NOT trying to say that October Road is the only important show here. I left out a word.
Posted by: Marcia | March 16, 2008 at 01:29 PM
October Road has to come back for another season! It's such a great show with fun and quirky characters. There are so many questions left unanswered. We can't be left hanging!
Posted by: Carol | March 16, 2008 at 03:37 PM
October Road is the BEST show that has been on in years!!! I'm so tired of the same "reality TV", and other sitcoms. This has been the only show that has meaning, character, heart, excitement, ect. I can't say enough about this amazing show. The story just got better and better. After the season finale...please we need more.!! Promoting it better would be great for the fall. Thanks!
Posted by: Jaime | March 16, 2008 at 03:45 PM
Seriously they aren't bringing back Journeyman? That was my ABSOLUTE favorite show this season. I just hope one of the cable networks is smart enough to pick it up...Sci Fi or FX or TNT or whatever. I would watch it anywhere anytime, 5 days a week. What a freakin great show. And by the way...it is WAY better than whiny october road. I even like the actors in that show and think the show is terrible.
Posted by: Erin | March 16, 2008 at 04:14 PM
October Road is one of my favorite shows ever! It's such a feel good show and it with great meaning. The show has been developing more and more, and there are some issues that have just develop and us fans need to know what happens. There are many loyal fans to this show who will be greatly disappointed if this show does not get picked up.
Posted by: shortidancer | March 16, 2008 at 06:25 PM
I absolutely love both Men in Trees and October Road. I hope both are renewed. They are fun, thought provoking and they are just plain great stories. I can sit back, relax and watch a great story with characters that draw me in. Please renew the shows!!
Posted by: Deb | March 16, 2008 at 06:38 PM
The only show I truly care about seeing more seasons of is OCTOBER ROAD. I never miss an episode- the characters are unforgettable, the story touching...I look forward to watching this show and it always leaves a smile on my face. A funny, heartwarming, feel-good show. It deserves a season 3 for sure- so many loose ends still need to be tied up. I am a fan of MEDIUM as well- surprised its on the bubble list...
Posted by: ZaraB | March 17, 2008 at 01:54 PM
Second only to Jericho..October Road is the best show to hit TV in a very long time. Great characters, awesome music and addicting storylines. DO NOT CANCEL OCTOBER ROAD...Are you NUTS??I can not believe how many good shows are on the so called "bubble'. What is the matter with you network nuts? If you look at the renewals it tells a pretty pitiful picture of what some people are watching. Who are these people and why do they have Nielsen boxes? They obviously don't know a great show from a stupid reality show. Give me one of those boxes and all of the "bubble" shows would be renewed. No problem!
Posted by: Susan Davis | March 18, 2008 at 07:46 PM
Please do not cancel October Road I have really enjoyed this lighthearted show. I love the characters and the story line. I can't believe it hasn't caught on more.
Posted by: Deborah | March 19, 2008 at 08:00 AM
Above all else, I hope that Jericho is not canceled again, though I fear it will be. It's an even better show due to this short season. Very tight and lots of less interesting aspects have been deleted. I also hope for The Sarah Connor Chronicles returns and Reaper, though the latter seems unlikely, which is a shame. I'd also like to see a lot more of the very promising Eli Stone, even though I dislike most shows about lawyers, and Old Christine is probably the funniest sitcom on TV at the moment. Luckily, there are some things that I like that are being renewed, but I sure wish there were going to be a reduction on lawyer shows, doctor shows, forensic shows and above all, reality shows. Enough already.
Posted by: Bill | March 19, 2008 at 11:04 AM
I can't imagine what difference any of it makes. Most TV stinks, which means that most of the shows people are crying about stink too. I've never understood why TV stinks though. Does anyone have an explanation for why so many of the shows stink on a regular basis?
Posted by: Rich | March 21, 2008 at 03:22 PM
I've really gotta hope they don't cancel Jericho. I'm just starting to get into it, and it's really an amazing show. I agree that this whole shortened season should not be used as a basis for canceling shows. Give us another season of everything, and then see how it all works out!
Posted by: Michael | March 22, 2008 at 07:46 AM
>>MolAspen I heard from one of the writers (on my space) that prison break is coming back for a fourth season. And on Watch with Kristen they're saying that Terminator is getting another season as well.
I'm SAD about Journeyman. it was such a smart show. I'm also sad about Jerricho--the writing this season was AMAZING! But they kept jacking with the time and putting it in horrible slots (probably wanted it to fail). I hope one of the other networks like USA or TNT or FX picks it up. Same for Journeyman :(
Posted by: Amie Stuart | March 22, 2008 at 09:26 PM
I am HK people . I love to watch HOUSE .I had watch season 1 -4 .I want to ask that will HOUSE has season 5 . I really hope that it has?
Posted by: Ginny | March 23, 2008 at 12:48 AM
NBC loves The Office, 30 rock and My Name is Earl. They are the best comedies out there right now. I understand why FOX might not renew theirs, but wake up NBC those are the only good shows you have. Also, FOX better renew Prison Break and Bones.
Posted by: Megan | March 26, 2008 at 12:26 AM
Cherie's right. Follow her advice and you OCTOBER ROAD fan's might have a shot. Here it is again so you won't have search for it.
"Do like the fans of Jerico and Arrested Development did and, wherever your fan site is, spread the word THERE - sign a huge petition and send that directly to the network, and then send copies to all the advertisers."
Ignore this advice and OCTOBER ROAD's fate is already sealed. No jive, just one more cold, hard reality in the business of show. Saving any series is not easy. It takes alot more time and effort that most are willing commit to.
Time is running out. So, get busy or go quietly into the night.
Posted by: Dave Famous | March 26, 2008 at 12:05 PM
I am encouraged to see that Moonlight is in the pending list. Moonlight is such a great show. All of the cast is perfect for their respective roles!
Posted by: Marie | March 27, 2008 at 09:40 AM
Moonlight is one of the best shows that has hit Television...it has all the ingredients that people love action, romance, scifi, and the actors are phenomenal bringing the script to the audience..If you have a few moments Friday night April 18 check out The Mortal Cure and come back April 25 for a new episode...
I promise you won't be sorry.

Love the show!!! Need it back!! and yea, what Michelle said!
Posted by: Lucky | March 27, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Moonlight was the best new Drama of the season. It earned the 2008 People's Choice Award, and deserves a full second season.
The show has a talented ensemble cast, executives and staff who are highly regarded in the industry, and a very loyal and vocal fan base.
As a member of that fan base, I can tell you that we contact CBS,show cast and staff members, and sponsors of the show Moonlight, and thank them on a regular basis for bringing us this fantastic show.
We are partnering with them to let them know that we will do our part to help hit high ratings for Moonlight.
The show is visually stunning, has well written scripts, and the potential to run successfully for many seasons.
Add to that the charismatic and charming leading man, Alex O'Loughlin. He has taken Hollywood by storm, and has become the number one male actor that many women want to see in movies and on television.
Moonlight has perfomed well in the ratings, and has shown that it can attract and retain fans even at 9pm on a Friday night.
I am confident that Moonlight will be renewed, and will run for several more years.
Join us by watching a repeat episode on 4/18/08 before the next four new episodes begin on 4/25/08.
This one seems like a no-brainer. The show is just that good.
Posted by: MoonlightChances | March 27, 2008 at 11:39 AM
MOONLIGHT MUST BE RENEWED!
plain and simple. would be too much of a shame if it died and early death, as there would be an enormous amount of fans who this would greatly affect (myself included).
Posted by: Indira | March 27, 2008 at 11:56 AM
Moonlight must be renewed. It is the only show on TV that is consistantly worth watching and re-watching countless times.
Posted by: Joanne | March 27, 2008 at 12:53 PM
I am a Australian fan of Moonlight, and beg you all not to pull the show. In the short time it's been on,the response to it has been amazing, you only have to visit the fan based websites to realise that. And surely does'nt a show that fans are screaming for mean lots of money comong in?
And WHEN you decide to renew it, please give The Nine Network in Australia a kick in the pants for pulling it 8 episodes in. A lot of us are still fuming about that!! thaaks for giving me a voice.
Posted by: AussieJo | March 27, 2008 at 02:23 PM
Please keep moonlight on.There are so many story lines to consider,ex:Mick's family background, josef and 17th century history , he could make a play for Beth.Coraline and her history ugh.The cast has so much charisma and chemistry, they all blend well together.I watch vid clips of the first cast and you were right for burning them at the stake, dull very dull.The actors with chemistry stay on tv, Carson /McMahon, Abbott/Costello, Rowan/Martin,Will/Grace,Mickey/Minnie, to mention a few.Mick/Beth should be couple of the year, and Josef and Coraline, this show could be called FRIENDS II.True Fan{g}.

I'm in love with Moonlight. The world will be a better place if Moonlight continues to grace our screens! We need that great romantic tension and otherworldy fun! We need a really good looking hottie romantic vampire a la Moonlight! Give it to me! Season 2 and more please! Otherwise I'll just have to keep getting my fix with RPG video games. And when I'm playing those games there is no tv watching unless Moonlight is airing. Same with all my friends.
Posted by: subterranean_catalyst | March 27, 2008 at 04:33 PM
Just want to say a few things here. At our house we don't watch 'reality t.v', life is enough reality to deal with, let t.v be what it was intended to be, a form of entertainment. What does it say about people of today if we find such pleasure in watching the lying, cheating, backstabbing, human despair etc... that is reality t.v. programming. It was great to have some new shows this season that stimulate the mind and are not pure reality t.v. With the writers strike so many new shows had so little time to get on rock solid ground. At our house we like to watch shows that make us think, but also are fiction. Jericho, Chuck,Journeyman and Moonlight are favorites. Jericho is a fabulous program. It looks at government and politics (much like West Wing did), and tons of History (survival of the american settlers, the civil war, the Hiroshima effect etc.) Chuck is being renewed, so I don't have to plead it's case. Cancelling Journeyman is a mistake. Maybe it was too far over people's heads because everybody has watched too much mindless reality t.v. Anybody remember the popularity of Quantum Leap? If I remember correctly it was questionable for a second season too. Also, the hot new authors are writing about modern day Vampires and werewolves. Moonlight is nothing like an Ann Rice novel, its way better. It is modern, humorous, and has an ever growing fan base, not to mention the actors are HOT. I havea recorded every episode, and refuse to delete them. I have watched them all several times over. Give it a chance.
Posted by: Amye | March 27, 2008 at 04:41 PM
We are so close! Moonlight is now pending. 29 days and counting! We are coming down to the final stretch and as they say in cross country, you have to dig in and KICK!! Mick and Beth for eternity!
Posted by: Amanda | March 27, 2008 at 04:42 PM
October Road is a well written, heartfelt show that was given a bum time slot and terrible advertising. It also needs to aired an hour earlier than it is. There are too many questions left up in the air not to give it at least another half season. Great cast, original characters, avoids many cliches of prime time dramas. ABC needs to give it a go.
Posted by: Jed Goodwin | March 27, 2008 at 07:01 PM
I'm from New Zealand and on a whim decided to watch an episode of October Road online.......and god, I am in love with it! Maybe if it got sold to more international markets, it's ratings would rise overseas and prompt ABC to continue with more seasons. American audiences and international audiences react to things very differently and often shows are more popular in other countries than their own. I have yet to see October Road sold to ANY overseas market and feel at least they could offer it. They make money, more fans see the show and then there are more episodes. Same with Journeyman, another show I discovered online by accident and fell in love with. It got shown to a very limited audience and because of that international recongition wasn't realised. I want to contribute to the ratings but can't, only shamefully cheating online :(
Posted by: haven | March 28, 2008 at 12:13 AM
Glad to see Moonlight is at least pending as opposed to "on the bubble", but it definitely should be renewed! The show has an incredibly strong fan base, has won several polls, a Peoples' Choice award....It has a very talented cast, excellent writers, and is in general an awesome show! Rooting for renewal!!
Posted by: Sandy Hopper | March 28, 2008 at 05:38 AM
The shows listed as pending or on the bubble only show me that what my husband has been saying for years is true: if a show is actually GOOD and has a devoted following, networks will go to credible lengths to cancel it. (Just look what they did to Firefly.) Journeyman, Moonlight, L&O, Jericho, My Name Is Earl, Old Christine- give me a break! These are some of THE best shows on TV. Instead networks will put on more so-called reality shows. Just who is actually watching that stuff? Good thing I enjoy reading so much. Apparently I'll have LOTS of time for it next season.
Posted by: Jennifer | March 28, 2008 at 05:56 PM
I have never hated October Road more than I do right now. I didn't even finish reading the comments. I enjoyed reading the first couple and seeing what shows people were supporting... and then I realized the comments to this article had been overrun.
Do you really think network execs have the time to read comments on an article like this?
I also have to wonder if the fans of October Road ever have seen shows like I'll Fly Away, Everwood or even the current Friday Night. There have been warm, family shows out there over the years that actually had (gasp) quality.
Posted by: JDV | March 28, 2008 at 09:15 PM
Some of you people need to look up the word pending. My Name Is Earl, Law and Order, Bones, and other pending shows - WILL BE BACK. It just means that they have not officially been renewed, but a renewal is PENDING. There are perhaps a couple that could fall through, but I'm pretty sure at least 90 percent of the shows listed as pending WILL be returning.
Meanwhile I'm hoping for Medium, New Adventures of Old Christine, Eli Stone, Reaper and Aliens in America to be renewed.
Posted by: JDV | March 28, 2008 at 09:18 PM
PLEASE RENEW OCTOBER ROAD - The show is one of the best I have ever watched. My husband and I enjoy the characters, story, acting...and are in awe of the writing. How the characters respond to adversity is stellar. October Road is such a match for ABC and simply needs a better day/time slot and support and it would do extremely well. Please bring back October Road for Season 3.
Posted by: Heather Smith | March 29, 2008 at 06:21 PM
It is better to see Moonlight in the pending category instead of the bubble, but the fans need a bit more. Moonlight is still in its infancy and has oh so much potential. It is so RARE that you have a cast with such chemistry, great storylines, music and a wonderful "modernization" of the whole vampire genre. It would be tragic and completely insane not to see, at the very least, a second season. If I had to give up all but one show, you can bet that Moonlight would be the one that I keep. No offense to the viewers but there are WAY TOO MANY CSI and reality shows. Finally, something viewers can really sink their teeth into!! Yes, pun intended. MOONLIGHT ALL THE WAY. Vampire solidarity, rah, rah, rah, and all that!!
Posted by: Diane | March 31, 2008 at 09:30 PM
Here's hoping for (least to most important) Aliens in America, New Amsterdam, Eli Stone, House (only this low because I'm 99% sure it'll be renewed), Moonlight, Terminator, Jericho (given to another network), and Reaper (recently got this high up after how amazing the last few episodes have been plot-wise).
However, if listed bleakest situation to best situation it'd be: Aliens in America (the ratings are THAT bad), Jericho (cancelled by its home network), New Amsterdam (FOX cut production early even before the strike), Eli Stone (not doing too great on ABC), Reaper (not doing as well as CW wants), Moonlight (looking pretty good for Moonlight), Terminator (no confirmation but they already started building season 2 sets so...), and House (hahahahaha).
Posted by: Sam | April 01, 2008 at 05:10 PM
Reaper is the best show out there!!!!!! Please let there be a new season.
Posted by: Jason Shwartz | April 02, 2008 at 07:56 PM
October Road is the best show in years! I get very sick of reality TV and this show is so real, with characters that you can relate to. Plus it is differant than the Dr, lawyer, cop shows...it has a character that everyone can ralate to in someway. Please give OR another season to gain a larger following!
Posted by: Liz | April 04, 2008 at 08:20 AM
Hate to jump on the bandwagon because it seems to offend some people on this board but I love OCTOBER ROAD! I think it's a great show that needs another chance. Earlier time slot, maybe, better night, more promotion. I hope ABC relents and gives it a season 3 - or at least a few more episodes to wrap up all the unanswered questions.

Glad that NCIS is renewed for another season. THANK YOU CBS for bringing the show back. I like all the cast members and they seem like a family. The story lines are very interesting. I watch very few shows on TV and actors seem like a good mix. It would be hard to pick out any favorite actor on the show as they seem to compliment each other.

PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL ELI STONE....we think it is one of the most refreshing and funny stories yet. Don't get rid of the good ones like Eli....

I want to know why ABC's BIG SHOTS has been written off so easily? This show was so under-promoted! Such a talented (and good-looking) cast. The writers were really beginning to grow their characters & explore their depth. Josh Malina's Karl gives such a quirky & hilarious twist... Christopher Titus is the best comedic relief any "manly" show could be lucky enough to land. Wakey wakey ABC, there is an audience here & we'd like you to pay attention!

ABC's Big Shots deserves another chance. The show had a good combination of drama and comedy, and not the same old "cookie-cutter" female lead characters. The chemistry between Nia Long and Michael Vartan made their characters sexy and believable. Big Shots had a diverse group of fans--racially,age-wise, and male/female.
This show gave viewers "something new". ABC should renew this show and PROMOTE it!

The CW should new Life Is Wild. Life Is Wild was like a BLAST of fresh air. The cinematography of South Africa was absolutely stunning. This show was educational as well as entertaining. The audience was given a look at life in the South African bush, and the differences between their culture and that of the American characters. And then there was the interracial relationships, both platonic and romantic that were very well written. The potential for character development of the Americans, Afrikaans and native South Africans was wide open. Life is Wild was a well-balanced show without gratuitous violence and promiscuity. The characters were interesting and the stories very compelling. Life Is Wild was one of the best series I've watched of all the networks this past year. But the CW failed to advertise and promote it like their other shows. Many of us fans want Life is Wild back on our television screens.

ABC Big Shots...c'mon first time there is a show that 30 -40 something males can identify with...keep it alive
Posted by: Steve | April 10, 2008 at 08:25 PM
ABC is going bananas!!!! They need to bring back Big Shots, Cashmere Mafia, and Carpoolers. Every time I get into a show I like with ABC they cancel!!! I don't watch Desperate Wives or Men and Trees. But I do and did watch Big Shots, Cashmere Mafia, and Carpoolers. I never missed a show for all three. ABC needs to promote!!! They do it for other shows. Come on ABC bring them back!! I'm on the point of not getting into any of your new shows because you (ABC) always cancel them. For example 6 degrees, another disappointment from ABC.

I can't believe how ABC canceled Big Shots, this was such a great show. The actors did such an understanding performance and their character was strong and you couldn't wait until next week to see what they got into. Out of all the shows on television Big Shot was #1 on my list as well as my coworker who would voice their favorite episodes. Come on, ABC, swallow your pride and bring back Big Shot, and your rating will improve because alot of people have lost faith in your network.

It's terrible the Networks don't give some of the smaller gems more time to get an audience. Moonlight & Jericho are great examples ... and so is K-VILLE!!! I love this show, and it's not even on Fox's renewed/pending/canx list. It's got such a fantastic storyline, characters, setting & mission. It'll be a shame for K-ville to get canx ... and for us not to get more of the story:( Stupid execs.

Re: 'Big Shots', does anyone know if there is ABSOLUTE proof that 'Big Shots' is DEFINITELY cancelled, because people are posting (even critics and writers) from all over the place, but I have YET to see even one shred of evidence that this show could not be returning.
ABC has done their viewers a huge dis-service by the way the show was 'non' promoed, but I get the feeling that they could care less. Also, if it is true, why not start a 'spin-off' with the two most popular characters (Michael Vartan and Nia Long), and add a few of the others as things go along? I just don't get it because they've switched day and time slots with other shows, why not this one?

"...it was way too brilliant and creative for American audiences"
Don't stereotype Americans like that
Posted by: American | April 14, 2008 at 10:47 AM
There are so many shows that I have loved, and that were never given the chance to actually shine. Some of these shows show up on this list in the bubble category:
ABC:
Eli Stone- This usually isnt my type of show, and I wasn't into the first few episodes, but I kept watching and man, I can't stop! The story lines are deffinetly getting interesting and it deserves another chance to shine!
Cashmere Mafia- Also, not my normal type of show, but I love it! It is so much better than NBC's knock off "Lipstick Jungle", its funny yet serious, and the actresses are terrific!
NBC:
Journeyman- This is was my favorite show this year, by far. But they had it at such a bad time that the audience didnt stick around. It would have thrived in a 9pm slot on a different night, like Tuesday maybe, when they have nothing good on!
CW:
My favorite show is Supernatural, and I am so glad that I dont have to worry about its return.
Reaper-A modern day Buffy, except with more comedy. It is a great show, with many funny moments, and a little fantasy thrown in, it's wonderful!
K im going to end this now because I could go on and on about how the people making the decisions about which shows stay and which shows go obviously never watch the programs, otherwise they would give more of them a chance!

I've waited with great anticipation each week for Eli Stone. This is a brilliant show that made us laugh, learn and cry. This was the season finale and I quickly got to my computer hoping to find that ABC would renew this wonderful program only finding that it's on the bubble. PLEASE...don't cancel Eli Stone.
Posted by: Linda in San Antonio | April 17, 2008 at 08:23 PM
ABC Please! Please! Keep Eli Stone on for next season. I love that show.
Posted by: yvonne | April 18, 2008 at 01:35 PM
Well, Eli Stone has just been incredible for the past few weeks. So I'm really hoping it makes it. Have to wait 4 weeks to find out though...
Posted by: Sam | April 18, 2008 at 04:55 PM
The show's i have enjoyed most this season all seem to be pending or On the bubble. i think it would be a shame to lose great shows like Eli Stone, Moonlight, or Reaper. TV needs refreshing entertainment like this. Reaper is a bit quirky, and maybe it hasn't been as strong since it's pilot episode..but i think that with a few good episodes to get them back on track this show could turn out to be a huge fan favorite and a long running series on the CW. It's def entertaining, and sam's relationship with the devil is just starting to take an interesting turn.. i'm still curious to see where it's gonna go! Moonlight has a HUGE fan base.. there are a lot of lovers of paranormal romance novels out there and this specific genre of television.. and they are all tuning in to see Hottie vampire detective mick st john. There's a lot more of his story to be told and we want to see it!!! With Ghost whisperer starting the night CBS is my favorite for Friday night.. and that would def change for me without moonlight. Eli stone i found has been great since day 1.. and the last 4 or 5 shows a lone should guarantee it's renewal. It's well written, witty, and heart warming, and a lot better than some of the junk we saw this season. I sometimes wonder who exactly has these ratings boxes when some shows that are on the air today stink and have no personality to them, while others are so entertaining and utterly brilliant yet get pulled before they even have a chance to really show us what they are made of. Dead like me for example was fantastic.. had and still has a Large fan base.. yet it was canceled.. I just don't get it!!! I think the networks should give a lot of these shows a chance.. especially after most of them not even getting a real season due to the writer's strike!

what about 24!!!!!!!!! i LOVED that show
Posted by: Lisa | April 19, 2008 at 12:45 PM
Please keep Terminator - The Conner Chronicles and October Road! I love both of these shows. Does anybody ever count the viewers in Canada? It seems like my fave shows always get cancelled and the ones that I would never watch stay on the air for years!?
Posted by: Judi | April 20, 2008 at 05:35 PM
Are the networks taking the strike out on us poor viewers? So many great shows hang in the balance and a heck of a lot of really good ones too!
Boston Legal, The Unit, Cane, 30 Rock... I've been going down this list and I can't belive how many people watch all of these shows and yet they still get cancelled!? Crazy!
Posted by: English Lee | April 23, 2008 at 07:19 AM
How is SAMANTHA WHO? going in the ratings in U.S.? I've seen it has been renewed for the 2008-2009 season but is it rating enough to go for a 3rd. season? i believe the rating are average here in Australia.
Posted by: Paul | April 23, 2008 at 07:28 PM
'Big Shots' has not been confirmed as cancelled, so why is it not listed on the Bubble List? Any way to correct that error? Thanks.

Samatha who is the best new Comedy in the US, and Big Shots was cancelled the day after the strike ended!
Posted by: santiago | May 03, 2008 at 11:28 AM
I don't understand why NBC didn't renew "Las Vegas". The show did well on Fridays and what a way to end a 5 seasons long series on a cliffhanger and a 'To Be Continued". Thanks for nothing, NBC!
NBC is the number 4 network for a reason. They renew shows that nobody watches and cancel good shows.

My question is if you writers and entertainment guru's go into a project and think it wll be a success.How can you not even give a show a real chance? All of you get together and come up with this brainchild of a show with great actors directors and so on then you give it two or three episodes and then you can them!! What happened to giving a show a fair chance? If it doesnt work one night try another before you just drop it! We have lost alot of good shows in the last few years! You get us hooked and then take it away...it's very annoying! I miss shows like Daybreak(which most people didnt even know about before it was gone)where was the advertisment?That show was great television. Thank god you put the remainder of the series on line!What happened to Cashmere Mafia(a much better show than the Lipstick Jungle)!Give a show a real chance and ease up on all the shock and awe reality...its trully going to new lows!
Posted by: dj3d | May 09, 2008 at 10:42 AM
October Road is a fabulous show and I cannot believe that is is being cancelled and some of these other ridiculous shows(I won't name names) are being renewed. BRING BACK OCTOBER ROAD!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Tami | May 13, 2008 at 07:03 AM
Carpoolers is hilarious and really deserves another chance. Who makes these decisions? Do they have a sense of humor? Obviously, they must or they wouldn't cancel Carpoolers, October Road, and Cashmere Mafia for the likes of The Chronicles of Sarah Connor - COME ON!!!!! You must be joking!
Posted by: Tami | May 13, 2008 at 07:14 AM
@Tami: None of those shows are on FOX. In fact, all 3 of them were on ABC. Terminator is on FOX (and it's an awesome show). Terminator got about double the viewers of those 3 shows, if not more. Those 3 shows got absolutely terrible numbers. They deserved to be cancelled.
