West Wing Cancelled

[Archer1979]

This news sucks.

I mean it sucks big time. There's maybe two shows a week that I plan my night around and West Wing is one of them.

Stacey, we need to do something to fix this and pronto!

We can still hope that a Network with half a brain might pick it up? Can't we?

[yankeebot]

I heard this earlier today. I agree, it sucks, but it is the kiss of death to take a long-running show out of its longterm time slot and move it to Sunday night. Unfortunately, I saw this one coming back in September.

[Casey37]

I really hate this. This is one of my favorite shows along with Law & Order. I do hope another network picks it up.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Did Jimmy Smits get killed off again?

[thecaptain]

Sunday nights killed it

[Big_E]

Man, that sucks. One of my favorite shows. Of course, with a major cast change coming up even if the show continues, maybe it's for the best. Decide the election then fade into the sunset.

[38Special]

Another horrible NBC show gone. Now if they could finally put ER (or the shell of ER), out of its friggin misery too, the world would be a better place

[SuperMario66]

West Wing was still at least kinda good. I used to love ER. It's just laughable now.

[ZYanksRule]

That's awful. A truly special show, I always watch it when I find it on Bravo....

Everytime I watch ER, a friggen helicopter crashes directly infront of the doors of the hospital, which is simply amazing

I love that show. Someone better pick it up.

[Sam18]

Good. Now onto ER.

[NYDCYankee]

I am upset The Office is going to end this season in March. Does anyone know if it has been picked up for next year?

[JDPNYY]

Maybe NBC should be cancelled.

WHAT? Why do these networks hate good TV shows?

I have to agree. I don't know about horrible, but I didn't like either show.

[Sam18]

Maybe NBC should be cancelled.

Jey Leno thinks so.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

I love Steve Carrell, but compared to the original, this Office sucks

[JDPNYY]

Jey Leno thinks so.

He should be the first person to go.

[Sam18]

I never seen the original.

[PettittesPrincess]

Darn.

[Coney36]

Not if it means there will be no more Law & Order.

Yes it was pick up for next season

[texasyankee]

Who cares? The show was a friggin' farce. Good riddance. Start watching TWC for some good action.

[PalmerGA]

Maybe NBC should be cancelled.

That would be alright, too. They made a good start by sh*t-canning WW. I can't stand Martin Sheen. Freakin' butthead.

I actually think Steve Carrell is the worst thing about the US edition. I think the rest of the cast is great. Ricky Gervais was amazing as the boss Carrell doesn't even come close to as funny or deep. I still like the US edition but I guess compared to the UK edition of The Office this one does suck. I personally think the UK office is the best sitcom that has ever been on television.

I will say though to those who haven't seen the UK Office and enjoy the US Office don't watch the original version. Because it is so much better then the US version that it kind of ruins it.

Exactly. The UK version was just amazing. NBC hypes all of these shows as must see, but compared to other shows on TV, its third rate. Sadly though, I think what they have on now if funnier than a lot of the stuff they had on before. I've watched Friends. Talk about forced comedy, so stupid and worthless

What I like about the US Office is the other characters. There's no Oscar or Stanley on the UK version. Carell is good, but the UK one is so much better just because they can get away with more on British TV.

Friends was the most over-hyped show ever. The Rolling Stones of sitcoms.

I think the other main charactars in the US version are better too. However, David Brent was such a great character and Ricky Gervais did such a great job it really catapulted the show. I don't think it was just because he could get away with more, he was just flat out better.

I actually don't find many sitcoms funny (I don't really count the Simpsons). But Earl and Office actually are really funny compared to what NBC has had and compared to what is on the rest of the networks.

[JDPNYY]

Great episode of West Wing tonight. One of the best ever.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Friends was the most over-hyped show ever. .

I dont know how people think it was funny. I watched some episode were they sang about a smelly cat. It tried to be like Seinfeld, creating pop culture phrases and such

[Random]

Obviously the move to Sunday really hurt, but I think Rob Lowe leaving was the beginning of the end.

[Bozidar]

it's a shame, but it really had jumped the shark.

Like happy days, they made some entertaining television even after that landmark, but it's time to go...

Have you been logging on to jump the shark or watching Happy Days?

[Archer1979]

If Boz can double JTS-post then I can double-do this post:


Stacey,

Every week that they don't have a new West Wing episode, I will instruct Pat Robertson to tell God to kill a kitten.

Bring that message to your bosses.

Thanks.

[JDPNYY]

Bring back Dule'

[Archer1979]

Bring back Dule'

Rumor is Rob Lowe may be back in May.

[JDPNYY]

Perhaps to run as VP, eh?

[JDPNYY]

I think we'd be better off if they cancelled the real West Wing instead.

[Archer1979]

My scenario was to have Leo go like they used to write out guys on LA Law, with a little pinache.

Opening scene: Josh gets a late night phone call. On the other end, it's that perky blonde press seceratary in hysterics. It seems she and Leo...

Cue the theme music.

What do you think?

Could be. John Spencer was on LA Law (Tommy Mullaney).

This Josh fellow shouldn't pick up the phone late at night.

That's another show that NBC screwed up.

This Josh fellow shouldn't pick up the phone late at night.

The funniest scene I remember is when Josh's soon-to-be girlfriend is over at his house at 5:00 am. They're arguing over the number os times they made out. She leaves the apartment. The phone rings. Josh answers it and details each and every circumstance where they made out. Scene cuts to Leo on the phone... "That's all very good Josh. Can you get dressed? We need you to come in right away".

By the way... the best ever scene of the show was with Bartlett yelling in church in Latin at the altar after Mrs. Landingham's funeral.

Amen. brudder!

It's that old Hollywood chestnut: 'Things aren't going our way, so we'll create a fantasy world that we can kinda pretend is real and hide in it'!

Now if they will put ER out of its' misery...seeing older episodes in reruns just emphasises how terrible the show has gottem. Really terrible.

[Random]

I read somewhere that the end of the show will be Bartlett getting on Air Force One to return to New Hampshire, and the new President getting sworn in. So, all of this hype, and then as soon as we find out who wins, the show's over.

On a related note, they blew through 7.5 years of Bartlett's presidency in about six years, but somehow the 4 months from the primaries to the general election took about a year. I think that had something to do with the low ratings as well.

"West Wing" debuted during the Clinton administration.

[allybear]

I like the "West Wing" and my politics are nothing like the Bartlet administration's (for that matter, neither are Martin Sheen's in real life, at least on some issues). Although I do think that Jed Bartlet would be a better President than most of the ones I've seen in my lifetime, but that's why it's TV! I do think that it kind of jumped the shark when it turned into a soap opera over the last two years, but then it righted itself last year and got really good, but the damage was done, I guess and the move to Sunday (in a really tough time spot, I spend that hour switching between WW, "Extreme Home Makeover" and that crime show on CBS - I watch that the least, so I'm not sure of the name - is that "Cold Case"?) was just too much.

It's JP's favorite show - I don't know what he's going to do when it's over.
