Well, I'm not that surprised. I thought the 7 episodes from season 2 would have done better because of the lack of programming due to the strike. I guess the Sunday timeslot was bad for it. There was a blurb in TV Guide last week that said Courtney Cox said the show was done.

I've never watched this show, but I noticed that all 20 episodes (2 seasons) are on Hulu.com for free. Is it worth a watch for any of you that watched the show?

It's a pretty trashy show. I watched it, but I won't miss it.

Not in my opinion. I watched maybe 4 episodes last season and gave up on it. I thought that I may have overlooked a decent show when it got renewed for season 2, but friends advised me to skip it.

I hope the same fate does not befall The Riches!

I think this is one of the reasons they have been dragging the final season of The Shield out, and wanted the show extended one season. F/X has been trying to duplicate the success of The Shield and Nip/Tuck before they lose one of them.

I personally think Damages is the best show on the network, it's a shame it doesn't bring in more viewers.

They should just make a kickass evening of viewing for the new shows to get going.

8:00 The Riches
9:00 Damages
10:00 Back-to-Back episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

But then they'd be competing with the broadcast networks, bah.

Completely agree with this assessment. I tried it a few eps, tried to like it, but I thought it was pretty bad.

Had a friend who absolutely loved it. But then again, she also thought Norbit was a pretty good movie ...

This was one of my few guilty pleasures. I hate reality TV. The Shield, Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Wire, Lost, Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Freaks & Geeks, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Dexter, Weeds, etc. all top my favorite list. And I hated Norbit. I must be an exception.

My GF loved the first season but she didn't care for the 2nd season at all.

Was this quality TV? Not really. Guilty pleasure? You bet!

Thank God it was NOT Quality TV! I die of boredom watching Quality TV!

DIRT Season 1 was excellent (I pretty much agree with the DVDTalk review at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/31731...-first-season/). Season 2 was episodic and much less interesting.

The thing is, I didn't even think that Dirt was good "guilty pleasure" TV.

Although Dirt and Melrose Place had completely different story lines, Melrose was Emmy-worth TV in comparison... IMHO, of course.
