Don't you hate it when you really get into a TV show and then the network pulls it in a rather untimely fashion? Me too. Example:
Grounded For Life
American Dreams
Ed
Love Monkey
Yeah, I love Tom Cavanaugh.
If you could bring back any television show(s) that you feel did not get enough time in Primetime, what would you choose?
i'm a tough act to follow because when i'm done i take the microphone with me.

Love and War
You probably don't know about this show, but suffice it to say that Joanna Gleason, Suzie Plakson, Annie Potts, Jay Thomas, Charlie Robinsona dn Joel Murray were all great in it and it deserved a better lifespan. However, it's demise came about when CBS decided to go with "young shows" and as you can see from their line up now...THAT lasted!

Posted: 3/28/06 at 10:28pmOh hell! Of course. Arrested Development. That slipped by me probably because I refuse to believe it's gone forever. Bring back Bateman! Please!

That's so funny you put down Ed. Before I even opened this I was thinking Ed. I loved that show so much. It was so funny. I knew the minute Carole and Ed got together they would have to end the show. If they ever put Ed out on DVD I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I own the full series of both shows on DVD, but it's not the same. I guess it's better that they went out on top and remain in infamy the creators beating a dead horse just to squeeze out a few more seasons (*coughFriendscough*).

Posted: 3/28/06 at 11:57pmI totally agree with dead Like Me, and the American Embassy.....the others should have died sooner.......
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 3/29/06 at 12:05amI also happen to think that Law and Order: Trial By Jury was yanked too soon. They were doing fine after Jerry passed on, and had the Friday night ratings locked up.

OMG, someone else actually watched The American Embassy?
I'm shocked. I've never met anyone else that watched it.
