First Canceled Show of the 2004/05 season - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mr. Monitor · 08-01-2004, 08:57 PM

With the new Fall season starting in the upcoming weeks, which shows do you think will get the pink slips first?

I'm guessing....

Father of the Pride (NBC)
Hawaii (NBC)
LAX (NBC)
Listen Up (CBS) .......sorry Jason
Clubhouse (CBS)
Method and Red (FOX) struggling before hiatus, most likely a goner in the fall
North Shore (FOX) see above
Rodney (ABC) looks crappy

Father Of The Pride has gotten some pretty bad reactions from the folks who have seen advanced screenings. I don't think a cartoon about GC lions fits in with NBC's style, so I think it will be quickly forgotten about.

Mr. Television · 08-01-2004, 09:04 PM

Father Of The Pride. I think Clubhouse and LAX could surprise. I'm giving those 2 series a try.

Father of the Pride. UPN's CGI animated series didn't even meet UPN's standards! According to Jim will be the new timeslot leader!!!

Quintuplets, Method & Red, North Shore, (FOX's summer crap) will be all gone, too I bet.

Didn't FOX recently give Quintuplets a full season order?

Yes, but if the ratings crash, the full season order will be quickly scrapped.

Toss in another vote for Father of the Pride being the first casuality of the 2004-2005 season.

Actually I think Clubhouse could make it. I hope so, it actually seems like a great show.

db108108 · 08-01-2004, 10:28 PM

How about Studio 7 on the WB? The network decided that it would premiere the show early to try and build and audience, but the frist episode drew 1.7 million viewers, the second 2.2 (compared to lead-in "Reba"s 4.1 million). This thing will be gone by August.

Also, Drew Carey's Green Screen is basically Whose Line? rehashed, and viewers have already spoken on that one.

Mr. Television · 08-01-2004, 10:32 PM

Actually I think the Jury already beat these shows. It was supposed to air in the fall and its already been cancelled

Mr. Monitor · 08-01-2004, 10:41 PM

Forgot about that one.

Wildchats · 08-02-2004, 04:21 AM

Without a doubt it's gonna be North Shore. That show s nothing compared to what Melrose Place was. They lied when they said it would be. I hate the setup. It could of had some chance, since the first episode wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that great either.

The show lacks a lot. Plus, who wants to see a surging show all summer, an fall, and winter! I think it's good just in the summer and early fall, but I won't give this show past episode 13. I think the only real plot to bring closure to is that girl with her boyfriend who she is marrying. Why doesn't she dump him and marry her old love. That way closure can happen. Everything else moves too fast, and there are no "real cliffhangers". Why can't FOX get me to write for that show?

But yeah...come September, it's gone. Without a doubt. It won't last past episode 13, since thats the limit for a first season show, and this show had additional script orders only (Big sign it is being cancelled).

PULL THE PLUG NOW FOX, OR ELSE THIS SHOW WILL SUCK BIG TIME!

The Help was already cancelled this year.My guesses are that it wasn't entertaining or people stopped watching it after what they said about 8SR

These will be gone, though I think they will try to give North Shore more of a chance.

That was last season. 2003-2004.

Anyway, add another vote for/against "Father of the Pride".

Marc Berman from Mediaweek says either Father of the Pride or Green Screen. I agree.
