Ed is done for good.
It appears that NBC is done with Ed as the network is promoting the final 3 Ed episodes:
"After all these years, the final three episodes of Ed remain."
"And the last three episodes of Ed..."
"After all these years, the final three episodes of Ed remain."
"And the last three episodes of Ed..."

I just saw this and have been scouring the 'net trying to find any word...
Tom & Julie are scheduled to be on the Today Show tomorrow, so i'm hoping they'll say something about it..

Damn, that sucks. I still like the show a lot, but it definitely peaked after its first two seasons, imo. Those first two years were classic television.

As someone who has watched Ed from the beginning, all I can say is damn. This show, with all it's faults and Carol's annoyingness has consistently been among my favorites and always on my to-watch list. I will miss the great writing of this show.
On a brighter note: The sooner Ed is off the air...the sooner the dvd's come out. Who knows...we might even end up with dvds by the february of next year!

Then they are shooting right up until the last minute.
They've been shooting principal EXTs all week around here. Monday there was a BIG set-up in Tappan, and early on Wednesday I saw the whole caravan of DRs/offices heading thru Norwood/HP.
At least I assumed it was Ed; unless there's another big production around here.
Stuckeyville.com is referring to the show in the past tense. This must have been out of the blue, as they are as completely surprised as anyone.
EDIT: Forgot to mention: there are a coupla guys at our swim club that are pretty high up in the ED office on the prod. staff. Last summer, I chatted one up (since our kids were playing together) and he CASUALLY mentioned that the show was working under the assumption that since NBC renewed ED for a fourth season they would also renew it for a fifth season. He never said if this had to do with network support, or economics of syndication (as I believe was the case with Profiler and Pretender), or whatever........

Wow, do you think the NBC suits must be sweating about now? No Ed. No Boomtown (or any other new, promising show). No Friends. No Frasier. ER getting *very* long in the tooth. West Wing is a pale shell of its former self.
What is the game plan for next season? Reality TV 24/7, with occasional breaks for Law & Order?
