The Black Donnelys

I am trying to save this show from being canceled.
It is the best show on tv.
Got to nbc.com and watch the episodes that haven't made it to network tv in the last month.
I know this has nothing to do with adult, but with the people on here who love good programing, it could make a diff.
They are only playing the new episodes on nbc.com, check it out.

Go to nbc.com and catch the episodes you may have missed.
They are playing new episodes every week.
This is one of the best shows on TV, help save it.

This may come off as a thread-crap but I have to ask if you have some vested interest in this show being picked up/continued?

Taste is subjective but I wouldn't in a million years say this is even remotely close to being the best show on television.

The writing was horrid and the acting was average at best (less than average in the case of the bat wielding brother).

Seriously, you think it was a good show?

Yeah, but would you say it is the best show on television?

I wasn't really trying to thread crap but was curious if there was a reason Howard was pushing for the show.

Two threads, with the name of the show misspelled in both of them. Neat.

Yeah nbc is sending me a check.
Please.
I love this show, I think it is on par with the Sopranos.
I love the writing and the acting is excellent.
Just my opinion.
I doubt that you watched more than 15 minutes of this show, because once you see it it is hard not to watch.

I watched the first three episodes and found the reverse to be true. The longer it went on the less I wanted to watch and the more I kept looking at the clock to see how much longer was left.

The first one was decent and it seemed like it could be a promising series. It quickly spiraled downward from there as the writers seemed unable to choose which storylines to pursue. Instead they pursued them all and rather shoddily. Some of the moments are laughable but unfortunately were meant to be serious.

I seriously felt like they were trying take elements from different series that they liked and mash it together to make something new (there are elements of The Sopranos, The Wire, The Shield, etc.).

Hard to argue that it is on par with The Sopranos when it gets pulled after 4 eps and remaining new ones are only aired online.
