Uhhh Normaly when they switch times and nights with a show it normaly means there trying to get it to lose rating so when they cancel it it won't be to big of a shock... JMO But of corse I wouldn't be suprised if, This or next year will be the last year.

Inspector Bariteau · 06-21-2004, 06:36 PM

Yep...I get the same feeling too. That is the way it is with alot of shows. I just hope this isn't one of em.

Like purposely slash there ratings by moving it to another night? Wouldn't they want to wait until people stop watching it on there own?

I also find it strange that they are airing the season finale on a Monday night. I also find it strange how they suddenly rushed to get the remainder of this season's shows on the air this month. Normally the show doesn't end its season until late July/early August.

Is it just me or does Lifetime seem more interested in Strong Medicine than The Division these days? I saw tons of print ads for SM in the last few weeks along with radio ads and tv ads. TD never got this type of advertising this season that I saw. I even heard a radio ad for SM today for this weeks show. Why doesn't TD got this type of treatment from Lifetime?

I agree. I think they give SM more coverage because it gets the best ratings. I read somewhere (there was a thread and link about it here somewhere) that the ratings for TD dropped like 30% this season from last season. I know that it certainly wasn't a shock for me to hear that---with the way the CD was written off and all. I honestly think that they're trying to phase TD out. I think it will go one more season, and that will be it. I really don't see much effort on Lifetime's part for it.

Yeah... I think its gonna last one more season and then thats it. I dunno...I think it could have lasted longer had they hired better writers and planned things out better...

*Marilyn Monroe* · 06-22-2004, 01:04 AM

I think this might be it, guys. They haven't renewed it for another season, right? We usually know by now. And it's kind of like making a dying person live on a machine. It's not even that good anymore.

We havent heard anything about them cancelling it either so I dunno. Whatever happens, happens. *shrugs*

TDfan69 · 06-22-2004, 12:35 PM

Well, here is my opinion. Once a network starts moving a show around to different nights/times, it is usually the end. They are moving stuff around to accommodate other shows, or maybe they think by putting other shows in front of TD will get more people to watch. Either way, it sounds like Lifetime maybe trying to keep it alive, but if they keep moving it around, how are people going to remember to watch? Just sounds like Life does not have faith in the show anymore.

There was an artical that someone posteed on here that said that the Division was renewed for a 5th season. I think that the 5th season is going to be it. The Division is a great show that could have gone on for many more years. I think they need to get new writters. Maybe if they get news ones now they can save the show and bring it back to life.

Rhiannon · 06-22-2004, 02:15 PM

The first 3 seasons were really great, IMO, but then the 4th season wasn't that good after CD left and I think a lot of people lost interest then and the ratings dropped.

TDfan69 · 06-22-2004, 03:38 PM

I agree. Quite honestly, I still have not watched a single episode after CD left, and from what I have heard from many people, I am not missing much. CD's departure was over the top for me and just says that the writers are going downhill. New writers should be brought in, and characters should not be tossed away and maybe the show can survive. JMO

Inspector Bariteau · 06-22-2004, 04:33 PM

HEY WENDI! Long time no hear! It's Angela! How are things going, anything new recently? And yeah I couldn't agree with you more. I only still watch the show for Jinny, (and the only good thing is her baby, and I HATE HANK) and in hopes that they'll bring CD back. My luck, they will and I'll miss that episode.

So on the slim chance, I'm watching for it!

consentida · 06-22-2004, 04:44 PM

In regards to CD/Tracey's departure....

Did any of you ever think about the fact that maybe they let her go and hired someone that they didnt have to pay as much? I mean really, they're not stupid enough to let Nancy or Bonnie go because obviously they have bigger fanbases, especially Nancy. And Nate and Raina were still fairly new and the writers had barely developed any kind of storyline for them. We hardly knew anything about Nate. And all we knew about Raina was her moms were lesbians and she was adopted...

Or maybe Tracey actually wanted to leave? I just dont understand why some of you people havent gotten over it already. I mean, granted, my favorite on the show is Bonnie but I wouldnt still be sitting here sulking and whining because she left. Sorry but its just a show. And as you've seen, Tracey's doing other things. She was on CSI. All you Tracey fans have other things to look forward to.

Its just a show guys. So....yeah. Sorry if that was a bit harsh....
