8 Simple Rules canceled? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Lor3nzo · 05-15-2005, 11:05 PM

I was told by a friend who has been working with ABC to promote the new Little House on the Prairie that 8 Simple Rule's wasn't picked up for a 4th season

We'll know for sure in about 36 hours...(not that I'm doubting the report).

When it's announced at upfronts, or via other official channels, or in a reputable publication, I'll believe. It's nothing personal - it really isn't. It's just most forum members have gotten burned in the past on reports from "a friend", and that breeds a certain caution about these things.

And now the waiting begins.

You should think about moving out of your parent's house and then think again about posting things you were "told". Oh man, was that mean?

I don't care.

What?! I never followed the show or have posted on this board, but am a fan of John Ritter's and this surprises me! I thought the show was doing well. Had there been cancellation rumors?

I guess we'll know for sure when either Pavan tells us, or we here it from an official publication, but no one can be surprised by this if it is true. I have suspected this for a long time. It is unbelievable that this network could not even give it a fourth year for syndication. Especially when it renewed Hope and Faith and the lower rated Jake in Progress of all shows. What a joke.

Yes, virtually every TV critic/writer had the show canceled for the past couple of weeks or month. A lot of people here thought they were wrong, but apparently not.

It's been "on the bubble" for a couple of months now. I went from "defintely coming back" to midseason to now I don't think so in just a few days. We'll know Tuesday.

Superbowl has finally convinced me that its gone.

Yeah, as everyone knows I was the one who started the whole cancellation possibility thread in February. It looks like I was right, and let me tell you it stinks. I wanted to be wrong in the worst way. Even though, I expected this it still hurts. I loved that show.

He's been working with ABC to promote LHOTP and to see if it goes for the fall or whatever and they gave him a list and 8sr wasn't on it. But i even told him I'll wait until abcmedia comes out with the info.
