NBC has pulled the plug on The Book of Daniel.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 1/24/06 at 4:24pmNo shock and awe over this one. Now if they would do the same to The Four Kings...

Posted: 1/24/06 at 4:29pmWell NBC needs help. The fact that they are bringing back Friends is a sure sign of bad management. (Even if it is just four episodes).

"I read where it was only supposed to be a five episode show."
There were seven episodes that were filmed. NBC was testing it for a full fledged series.

Posted: 1/24/06 at 4:36pmFriends is coming back in the form of four One hour episodes. Anniston was holding up the project - but she finally signed last week. There is a thread here somewhere about it.

Excellent.
Even though part of me is like "GAH! FRIENDS is over and done with. Leave it alone." but oh well.

Posted: 1/24/06 at 4:45pmI have heard nothing about this friends return. I am waiting for a reliable source!
(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."

It doesn't really surprise me. Many of NBC's shows aren't doing too hot in the ratings (ex: Joey, The West Wing, Will and Grace and I think they'll most likely finish 4th in the ratings among the big networks.
I'm still kinda mad that they cancelled Law and Order: Trial By Jury

Posted: 1/24/06 at 4:52pm(Going back to L&O: TBJ) Well, a show can't do very well if the lead actor dies. I think that's the main reason it went down. I actually liked it.

Well I don't know when your Access Hollywood column was posted, but another gossip column posted this on Sunday - I guess time will tell. LOL. I think it's an awful idea myself.
Edit : Sorry - I found the date at the top. My bad - Monday - day after the Hollywood.com article.
Friends or no Fiends?

Posted: 1/24/06 at 5:03pmI loved the Book of Daniel. No surprise it was cancelled: it was original and dared to be different. In George Bush's America (you know the idiot president) we can't have that.
