Out all Night was a o.k show. Personally I like the 2nd show they were in. I forget the name of the show but Jon Cryer and Reggie Hayes were in the show.

"Getting Personal" was the name. I remember seeing it a few times.

Close Call

Did Chris Rock rescue 'All of Us' from cancellation? That's the word in Tinseltown!

Sources say that the series, which stars Duane Martin, LisaRaye McCoy and Tony Rock (Chris' brother) and is produced by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, was set to be cancelled and was not planned to be on the fall roster for the new CW Network. Insiders told BV Buzz that it was actually 'Half & Half' that was supposed to join the urban-lineup at the CW, until Rock placed a call to CBS Chairman Les Moonves and asked him to save his sibling's series.

Apparently, at the eleventh hour, 'Half & Half' was given the ax-despite its executive producer Yvette Lee Bowser wowing the CW brass with her presentation-and the struggling 'All of Us' was given the green light. A rep for CW said the decision to bring 'All of Us' back just fit what the network was trying to do with that two-hour show block. "I don't believe there's anything to that," Paul McGuire said about the rumors.

Nonetheless, Hollywood insiders are likening 'All of Us' to a cat, joking that the series has nine lives. Apparently, this would be the second time that 'All of Us' was slated to be cancelled but was spared. The show was not supposed to return for the 2005-2006 TV season and producers at Warner Bros. were moments from pulling the plug on the show. That time, it was Smith who supposedly placed the call and had the series saved. It returned without co-stars Elise Neal and Terri J. Vaughn.

They fighting hard to get that syndication money off this show as other Duane Martin projects never made it past two seasons. Half and Half was a much better series and should have been given another season or at least midseason replacement status.

You're right about them keeping this show around so they can make money off of the repeats. It is a very mediocre series and Duane Martin has been in a bunch of flop series to date. In Hollywood names mean everything. When Will Smith is involved it makes a big difference. Same thing with Girlfriends. If Kelsey Grammer wasn't producing that show it probably wouldn't still be on. Same with Everybody Hates Chris. The quality of these series isn't even the point. It's how much revenue the big names tied to them bring in that matters most.

They promoted the hell out of Everybody Hates Chris. I never seen UPN spend that much money and time promoting a show and did wonders for them. Too bad it couldn't carry an entire night as all the other shows were cancelled. Once it gets enough to syndicate, which now its 100 episodes, they will give it the ax. Girlfriends came in at the right time I think (the network needed another show to brand the network around). Moesha was getting stale and losing viewers. It was cancelled during Girlfriends' first year.

I can't believe this show got renewed, I didn't even watch this past season. I heard they were trying to put Robert and Neesee back together in the finale, well for them to get rid of Tia to make the show more "unpredictable" they sure have made it more predictable than it originally was. That's another reason why I stopped watching, I never liked the idea of Robert and Neesee getting back together and as soon as I heard they dropped Tia I knew they were going to put them back together somehow. I really don't care to see Robert, Neesee, and Bobby become a happy family again, that's not what the show was suppose to be about. It was better when it was Neesee vs Robert and Tia.

I agree with jamesanthony, the only reason it got renewed was because of Will Smith's influence. Half and Half and Eve were better shows (at least imo) and should have been renewed, not All of us. CW is giving the show a chance to an extent, but if I heard correctly and the show is going to be on Sunday nights then in a way they are sabataging it as well, with being up against Desperate Housewives, The Simpsons, and sometimes football. There is no way a pitiful show like All of us can survive against those shows. So I predict this will be the last season or by mid-season it will be gone.

I believe Reba will end up replacing All of Us if that happens because they gave it a last minute renewal banking on the fact that one of the sitcoms will fail. Initially, i'm not sure if it was mentioned in this forum already or not, All of Us was slated to get the ax and Half and Half was getting renewed. This time around Chris Rock made the call and saved the show. That is what is being reported on BlackVoices Inside Hollywood talk. If I was Yvette Lee Bowser, I would be pissed again that another one of my good shows gets the ax for some crap. Remember how Living Single was replaced by Between Brothers and For Your Love was replaced by some other long forgotten crap on NBC and then WB. But remember, when her shows get the ax, the show that succeeds it in the timeslot doesn't last long.

All the shows that are slated for Sunday night, it might be their last season. Maybe except for Everybody Hates Chris. I don't think any of these shows will last against the popular shows on other networks.

What happened with that comedy Flirt starring Wayne Brady?

Wasn't that going to get picked up by the CW?

Monday nights have always been big for UPN and CW should have maintained that. Remember how horrible Sundays were when the WB tried to do a night of programming with sitcoms. My bets that the night will be quickly revamped and Everybody Hates Chris and Girlfriends will be moved to another night.

I hope they end up moving Everybody Hates Chris and Girlfriends. I think those are two good shows that really helped UPN.

I hope so too, those two shows deserve more mainstream recognition IMO.

Those shows definetly carry their weight. I think Monday night would have been the better night for the sitcoms. I am surprised that 7th Heaven is coming back. I thought that show was supposed to end last season.
