Bernie Mac is actually a high rated series, at least for FOX standards.

According to Jim
Grounded for Life
My Wife and Kids
Andy Richter
Baby Bob
Sabrina, the Teenage Witch
Just Shoot Me
Drew Carey (going against King of Queens?)

Yes Dear survives because of King of Queens and ELR.

They should give that spot to Becker, a much better show, which I hope can survive its move to Sunday, though most people seem to think it doesn't have much of a chance.
Thanks CBS.

Along with the already scheduled to leave "Buffy" and "Friends" are:

Providence (Is that still on?)

I doubt that. My wife and kids is a pretty good show and it is the highest rated sitcoms currently on ABC.

But these are the shows I beleive will have this be their last season either by the networks cancellation of the show or the stars deciding to end them.

Drew Carey(should have been canceled last season)

Just Shoot Me(ratings were way down this season)

Becker(don't think it will make it since it's not on Mondays
anymore)

yes, Dear(don't understand how it made it as long as it did)

Sabrina(had a large ratings decrease last season, should go)

Dawson's Creek(cause of the fact alot of the stars of the show want to now leave the show)

Grounded for Life(bad ratings)

Andy Richter(come on it placed 92 last season, sure to be cancelled)

Ed(don't watch the show but it does have a very bad timeslot which could end up meaning cancellation)

"Sabrina The Teenage Witch"

"Just Shoot Me"

BTW, I highly doubt that "My Wife & Kids" will get cancelled. It was one of the highest rated ABC programs last season!

I did not know that.
I just knew that they were airing episodes back to back which sometimes is a bad sign.
And plus I know no one who watches it.
But that doesn't mean anything.

dawsongirl · 08-29-2002, 08:19 PM

I agree with all that say Drew Carey. It should have gone with Dharma and Greg.

I think ABC is doing that because they know they have a hit show on their hands and they want to promote it alot. So their answer is to show back to back episodes. Although that's really not a good thing to be doing. That's how Millionaire ended up with such bad ratings now.

Will and Grace won't end this season they were signed on for 3 more years. And they got 2 of their highest ratings last season.

The Gooch · 08-30-2002, 02:29 PM

Though a critical hit, Bernie Mac isn't as highly rated as the hype would make people believe. Many of the last half dozen episodes from last season (non-repeats) finished well into the 90s and 100's. The reason it seems they're hyping it so much now is because it's put up or shut up time. If it doesn't deliver the ratings this year, it's gone.

As for My Wife and Kids, ABC believes the show has creatively gone down the toilet. It put it on back to back last year to destroy it rather than help with the ratings. It may have finished in the thirties or forties in terms of TV shows, but the relationship the network has with Damon Wayans is extremely strained. If it falters, which it will this season due to scheduling, it's finished no matter how desperate ABC is for sitcoms.

LucyCompanyPhan · 09-03-2002, 09:36 PM

sabrina-after losing its main characters i wouldnt expect it to last now, plus WB like is cancel crazy.
