Where the heck is the show??

[Janice]

I haven't seen it since December. Does anyone know the real deal here? :confused:
Thanks.

Janice, I think by now you are the only person on the planet who is still watching this show.

Me too! Though, I haven't seen it on in so long.

Well, I found this at TV Tome, but I'm not sure how reliable it is:


Good Morning Miami has not been cancelled. Due to a recent lawsuit made by the producers of the show regarding "Will & Grace", NBC replied to the lawsuit by saying they would unfairly advertise and schedule Good Morning Miami. It will be absent from the schedule many times this season, but it is still active. The show had a sucessful move back to Thursday nights, and ratings have improved in the few times we've actually seen it since the time slot change.

Lol, but not true because it's never on for me to watch. I asked Pavanbadal the status of this phantom show, and here's the scoop.

"Good Morning Miami will probably be not seen until March, since for February NBC likes to double up on Friends and Will & Grace, and now that The Apprentice is a hit, that could air on Thursdays as well in February."

Thanks for the info Pav.

This part is totally reliable.

I read that the other day too.
This could set a really interesting precedent.

Will more TV producers star suing because the network failed to make thier show a ratings hit?
Can a producer sue because the network decided to move thier show to another night?

No.

Not unless it's in the license agreement that the show cannot be moved from a certain night/time slot. The chances of such a thing being in a contract in the first place are almost zero, and, when they are, it's only because the exec producer is hot stuff -- and, most of the time, because they already gave the network a huge hit.

David Kohan and Max Mutchnick are suing because NBC produces "Will & Grace" themselves (via NBC Studios), and they sold the off-net reruns of it at what KoMut consider a bargain basement price (which is great for NBC -- not so great for them). There is already precedence of this, most notably in David Duchovny's lawsuit against FOX regarding "The X-Files."

The move displaces "Scrubs," which heads to Tuesday nights at 9:30 p.m. leading out of "Frasier." "Whoopi" will start Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. followed by "Happy Family" at 8:30 p.m. Current Tuesday night series "Tracy Morgan" gets bumped to Saturdays at 8 p.m. The odd man out is "Good Morning, Miami," which loses its place on the schedule.

To be honest, I'd prefer it this way than chasing the show all over the place.

It's a shame though. I think the show just needed time. There was a lot of talent on the show.

R.I.P Good Morning Miami.

I don't really understand the whole lawsuit deal...NBC wasn't advertising GMM enough?

:confused:

the lawsuit had nothing,directly that is, to do with GMM. Just that the creators of GMM happen to be the creators of W&G and THEY had beef with NBC in regards to W&G. And obv it had to do with money.

I am the editor of GMM @ TV Tome, so just to let you know that I keep track of these things well, so I only post things that I think are reliable. Just to let you know.

Good Morning Miami has a 75% chance of getting canceled I say, but NBC has done some unusual things to some of its shows.
a) The second season renewal of GMM, for one thing
b) American Dreams has early been renewed for a 3rd season, despite a rollback from 22 to 18 episode this year. GMM (at the time) will only produce 18 episodes this season, unless word from NBC comes to finish off the final 6 shows.
c) Ed usually ends it seasons early but still keeps coming back.
d) Just Shoot Me eventually burned off most of its episodes, so if we get canceled, we should get one too (Boomtown, canceled 2nd season this year, got one).

There's still hope, at least for a summer run. Drew Carey Show has been unsuccessful lately, but still filming the entire season, which ABC will air during the summer, like Whose Line.

Zucker himself has said he'll see how the first 13 episodes go, but we've only gotten through 9. We'll just have to wait a few weeks to find out what happens. Probably at the end of February sweeps we'll hear something. Hopefully sooner. I've emailed Prez Zucker as well as GMM's press supervisor, Jamie French, but have yet to hear a response.

Dumb shows that get the plum Thursday slot once dominated by Seinfeld, Friends, & Fraiser

Good Morning Miami
Coupling
Something Cafe(about Latinos owning a cafe shop!!)
The Single Guy
Just Shoot Me
That show with GMM's Jere Burns with thirtysomething alumni Mel Harris as a Brady Bunch like couple that very, very, briefly went to ABC

It says the show she's doing is a drama...

Well, it's good to know that we'll at least get a few new eps of GMM before it's gone for good...anyone know exactly when production ended?

Shame though, this was a great show...:( :( :(

I read that article. As much as I hated the show, I would hope that NBC wouldn't stoop to cancelling "GMM" to intimidate David Kohan and Max Mutchnick into dropping their suit.

Officially Cancelled.
