I'm sorry to report this, but it's official....ABC-TV will NOT be renewing Steven Weber's "The D.A." series....

This is a series which SHOULD have been renewed because of it's overall high quality of writing and acting. Oh well, at least this leaves Steven free to pursue more comedy roles!

You know the new rules of TV, pilotguy: anything with a hint of intelligence gets cancelled and replaced by reality show garbage

ABC is picking up Tim Daly's new drama Eyes for mid-season in 2005.

I totally agree with you! The same thing happened with Wonderfalls! It was critically acclaimed, but FOX axed it just after 3 episodes! They let The Swan stay and let Wonderfalls go?! What's happening to the world?!

Good thing Wings was created before this reality show boom! Passing over great shows for some reality crap. It's disappointing.

Actually, I'm a bit thankful for all the reality shows. I've been watching TV a lot less these days, and I really do feel a bit better for it.

good for you! i, on the other hand, have fallen into their trap. i ended up watching american idol, queer eye for the straight guy, the amazing race, survivor, merge and even head2toe! but that's about it! at least i like these shows.

this reality series overload still may have done me good. since, i think they made me miss shows like Wings more. i guess absence really makes the heart go fonder. i should probably shut up now i'm already making mushy quotes and that's just not me. hihi!
