    I guess I’m a CBS girl now. What bugs me is I think ABC was also the network which cancelled My So-Called Life. Can they not handle stories of women really trying to find their way in life?

      Yes – they kept moving it around, no one ever knew when it was on, and then they cancelled it. This has been going on forever.

    Hey another canceled 10:00PM show NBC can take over. Maybe if they actually put some advertising around it, it might work. Can’t be any worse than what the Leno Show gave to them

    that’s crap, they killed it by moving it to Fridays in the first place.

    I’m guessing Scrubs and Better Off Ted will be the next to go if I had to guess. Their ratings last night were pretty terrible.

    I am heartbroken. This show was never one of my favorites until last season. And this season has been AWESOME!

    this is one of the shows i’m always excited to watch during the week, as it mixes heart and humor so well. i figured it’d be the last season, so i’m kind of glad they’re going out on a creative high. i only hope that ABC will bring in another diverse series, instead of yet another pretty-white-people-in-a-hospital-law-office-courtroom-who-have-problems series that have been run into the ground. and i’m totally on board for a betty/daniel hook-up.

    It probably got too “expensive” – not that they’ll admit it outright. I can hardly wait to see what reality show or whatnot will take its place.

      I bet this show cost a fortune to produce. When they shoot on location in lower Manhattan, you should see the amount of people they have working behind the scenes.

    With tanking ratings I’m surprised they kept it on this long. ABC moved this show to Wednesdays in an effort to keep it alive, fans shouldn’t blame the network since they did move it to another slot besides Fridays. Is it their fault that fans still wouldn’t follow?

    Extremely sad news — no other show has so many laugh out loud one liners followed by just as many heart touching moments. What the heck am I going to do without my Mark fix every week! ABC, how could you??
