I saw a reference to 5 remaining episodes in another thread. Just curious, where is this coming from? The article I saw made no mention of it.

Thanks.

Have them recorded, so I guess I will just delete them.

This article mentions that 8 episodes have been produced

The BBC got this show relatively cheap at just over $500,000 an episode

Thanks DJariya. I'm never sure how many episodes "ahead" these shows are.

Even when I saw the title of the show, I didn't get it right away. I don't think most Americans even know that stat.

but as we learned in jerry mcguire, the human head weighs 8 lbs. :lol:

(someone had to say it)

I think this was just a victim of too many shows and starting too late. Seriously, if you look at past trends, VERY few shows have been cancelled. Fox started their fall in August and here we are at the end of sweeps and what has actually been cancelled? Vanished, Kidnapped, Justice, wahtever the hell that Rey Loilitta show was, and I think one of the comedies. In the past; by the start of Nov sweeps, like 1/2 the new shows were gone. This season, even Justice was only recently cancelled. The Nine and 6 degrees both lasted at least until Lost went on Hiatus and neither have been cancelled...yet. It really seems this season that EVERYTHING is sticking around a bit longer than normal.

Do you think they have figured out yet that the reason so many people tuned out of the nine at 10:30 was because lost always ran long and people just recorded until 10:30 to be sure they got it all?

I thought the first episode was very lackluster, the second was a little better. I haven't watched the third yet but my wife says she wants to see it so I will eventually. I won't miss the show.

Jadzia 12-01-06 12:15 AM

I'm not going to even bother watching the 3rd episode. I was leaning towards dropping the show anyway, but why should I give it another chance if the network isn't?

TheKing 12-01-06 01:18 AM

I watched the firts two episodes as Boston Legal wasn't on, but I switched back to BL this week. No huge loss, but they should think about trying shows on other nights. This show would have been a good companion to Numb3rs on Friday.

Darn, I didn't even know this show was a medical drama or I might have watched it. I heard the title and just assumed it was a reality show about Nicole Richie.

Innertube sucks. I tried to watch the remaining Smith episodes, but it would constantly buffer and delay on me. I don't have this same problem with NBC's site.

DJariya 12-01-06 02:56 AM

I've had no problems with Innertube. I've watched Jericho and the episodes played smoothly with no problems.

You forgot Runaway on the CW. Technically Vanished is simply wrapping after its 13 episode order - same as Kidnapped.

BTW, is something wrong with your keyboard? I corrected some of your quote.

I actually enjoyed Runway and completely forgot about it. Still, not much was cancelled this season. And, no nothing wrong with my keyboard. It was 1 AM and I had been up for 36 hours.

What the absolute fuck? I was enjoying this and it kills me that an Indira Varma show where she has a big role gets canned so early. Fuck CBS.

DJariya 12-02-06 12:19 AM

Episode 3 actually ran 67 minutes. There was lots of Indira Varma in that episode. She looked damn good in that brown negligee in the final scene.
