JEEZ.... Ok, Ok... so the numbers DO look dismal. BAD even...
But man, if everyone who supposedly "supports" this show's renewal can only write repetitive, repetitive, repetitive posts about dismal numbers... especially on this site's thread titled "Ratings"...

AND.... also so-called "FANS" proclaiming the death of the show before NBC "officially" does....
... then just roll over, "play dead"... and move on and forget about the show... which is your prerogative.

With the notable exceptions of AD fans like the loyal "Pretty In Pink" and "Mel" and others....
.... some of the posts in recent days have more doom and gloom about the show already being dead BEFORE NBC even declares it.

Ever occur to anyone that maybe NBC even CASUALLY monitors fan sites like this one... to see if the fans will really stick with the show...
.... or if fans are just willing to throw in the towel before NBC even makes a public decision????
... making their possible decision to cancel the show all the easier to justify?

Maybe that's not the case... but even to the most casual observer of the negative posts in recent days... and on this thread about "the numbers... oh, the TERRIBLE numbers"... various fans have obviously already given up hope.

This is most definitely a radical analogy... but if you had a good friend in the hospital on life support... would you pull the plug yourself just cuz' things "look bad"
... or would you wait for your friend to finally "flat-line" before giving up????

JEEZ again... if those fans who post ratings numbers and declare there's no hope for renewal before it's even official...
... then WHY should you expect NBC excutives to feel any different?

Constant posts saying - in essence - "oh the ratings suck!.... OH, the numbers are down, there's NO hope.... OH We're gonna get our butts kicked by Survivor, so give up any hope of renewal!!!!!"

Maybe all that's true... but not yet.

If ya already feel that the show is dead and buried.... save yourself some time on what you obviously feel is a LOST CAUSE....
.... stay off this site... and apply for a job as an NBC executive.

Peace.

Peace. You make a few good points there about the no hope some people have for no renewal because ratings dropped dramatically.I have been wanting to make those points for a few months when I read the ratings and people's negative feeling about the renewal but the words didn't come to me so I'm glad you said it.

I just couldn't think of way to explain what you just explained.Your great point was some fans say about no hope in renewal do to ratings dropping and how NBC excuetives may pick up on it and loose hope..Mel

You are very right Newsie, and like Mel said, you make some excellent points. We do have to stay optimistic! Despite the ratings, there is still a chance AD can be renewed for another season. Remember, NBC has heard us AD fans, and they have told Jonathan Prince NOT to strike down the sets just yet! Also, if NBC does decide to cancel it, Jonathan Prince did say he might consider a move to cable. There are many other options. We just have to keep hope, and the dream alive!!! :D

Stand together AD fans! ;)
