The final word was given yesterday. While some fan favorites have gotten prematurely axed, some were finally put out to rest after a good run. Among the shows being canceled, Brothers and Sisters finally say adieu after a good five season run. I never really got into the show but I love Sally Field. Hopefully she can find a new gig and not rely entirely on her Boniva endorsement…that would just be depressing. What saddens me about the report of these cancellations is that while Fox’s Chicago Code got the boot, shows like Jerseylicious are still going strong. Listen, I will be the first to admit that trashy reality shows are intoxicating but it befuddles me to think that quality programming is falling to the waste-side while crap is being produced left right and center (not Mob Wives…that’s quality). Poor Jennifer’s Beals; she hasn’t done anything legitimate since Flashdance and Fox is just taking that away from her. First the Book of Eli now this….one devastating blow after the next. Chin up; there is always Dancing with the Stars. Apparently the only way to succeed in television these days is to succumb to the reality programming format. I think Jennifer Beals would clean up shop on Dancing with the Stars. Note to self: call her agent and suggest this…It’s because I care.
I am happy, however, to report that Mr. Sunshine and Mad Love both got canned. I actually tried to watch both of these shows and debated writing both CBS and ABC to ask for that time back from my life.
