LIGHTEN UP! THE SHOW AIN'T CANCELLED YET, IF AT ALL! STOP THE PREMATURE MOURNING!!!

[newsie007]

OY!...
Is it just me... or has everyone, or at least a significant number of folks on this site... seemed to just give up on American Dreams?

I cannot for the life of me understand why SO MANY wonderful fans on this site lately have all but given up... and assumed American Dreams is already cancelled... especially when NBC hasn't declared anything like that.

the ONLY certain thing is... it's been moved to a different night and ratings are down.
Yeah... of course, thats not the most encouraging news.

But the ONLY news that counts is when we all hear the words from NBC itself... CANCELLED!
... and that hasn't happened.

Maybe this next thought sounds a bit corny... but then again, this thought might hold some resonance with true fans of American Dreams.

The title of this show is "American DREAMS"... not "American PESSIMISM".
... I challenge you all as fellow fans to DARE to DREAM that your favorite show still has a chance... until you hear otherwise.

Isn't that more productive... and HEALTHIER for us all... than for each of us to keep posting stuff about feeling "Bummed Out".
No offense to anyone on that... including "PIP"... because she is a TRUE fan... as is everyone else on this site.

But, with only best wishes to everyone in mind... give YOURSELVES a break!!!!
WAIT until you actually have someting to TRULY be bummed about.

If next week, "AD" is cancelled... hey, we're all due a well-deserved "pity party"
But until that happens... and IT WELL MAY NOT HAPPEN...
... keep the faith.

Maybe I'm the eternal optimist... and was raised to have faith in the positive.
But I'd rather look at life in a hopefully positive light as long as possible... before a negative reality sets in.

the same holds true for our wait for word on American Dreams' fate.
Ya know you'll feel bad if the show is indeed cancelled... so why worry and start mourning EARLIER THAN YOU have to.

JEEZ... a lot of us are acting like the show is DEAD... and they havent even aired the last episode.
If you've already given up... respectfully, save yourselves even more grief... and don't watch the last episode.

Enjoy the fact that the show has a new episode to come.
Otherwise... you end up being miserable... instead of enjoying a show that's still on the air... at least so far.
... and may yet continue.

I can't say it any clearer than that. I love ya all as fellow fans...
... but as for me, I'm not giving up until NBC says the final word... pro or con.

Til then, I'm enjoying the show.
Peace.

I have stood very positive of Ad even though ratings haven't been as good as they were when it first aired.But when I kept staying positive and told people stay positive about a month back the discussions were getting close to arguments almost so I just keep my mouth shut now.Melissa
