If they were smart.
Leslie Mooves would move Everybody Loves Raymond to Wednesdays at 9 pm. That show will do well wherever it goes. I would then put Becker on after Raymond on Wednesdays. They should put King of Queens in Raymonds monday slot. THis will ensure CBS's future on another night with comedies.

I would bet that this will be the last season for "King of Queens", i mean it is a pretty good show but will not last against "the west wing". no way.

What is les moonves and cbs thinking??????

ABC has a show that looks pretty good with kelly ripa and faith ford.

can't ABC buy "BECKER"?

Is Moonves for real? Who is greasing this guy to put on crap?

What a crock- one of those 2 shows -The Stones or Two and a Half Men- is DEFINITELY NOT going to make it to its second year.

Les Moonves is an idiot.
I don't think he will have much job security after CBS comes in last place next year (after NBC, ABC and FOX)

I wish him nothing but the worst.

JenniferlovesBecker · 05-15-2003, 07:42 PM

OMG i know..... is he blind?

I think "Two and a Half Men" might survive the season, but I can guarentee you "The Stones" will go bye-bye, within four weeks, thats a fact!

Oh believe me when he gets all our complaints about him choosing to cancel Becker, and next season proves him wrong, he'll be gone in a flash.

I bet Becker will be back by October if not November.

I'm gonna cry for Ted, cause now his wife is on a CBS new show, and well for now until we know for a fact hes out of a job.....think about it, he was the one with the highest rated TV show "Cheers" in TV history! He deserves to finish what he started, and I say 2 more seasons! Anybody with me?

CBS obliviously lost one of its eyes.
That Moonves dude is such a dumass.
I hope he learns his lesson about messing with the best.

Les Moonves is such an idiot! I don't understand how he allowed Walker, Texas Ranger, Touched by an Angel, and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman to stay on for years, but he cancells great shows like Becker, Early Edition, Presidio Med, and L.A. Doctors

DianeChambers87 · 05-17-2003, 05:09 PM

I had been wondering why they had taken Becker off the air.. wow cbs sux!!! It would be kind of cool if NBC bought becker and then Kelsey and Ted could be on the Same Network.

Thats a good idea...and you know NBC would advertise it much more than CBS.

DianeChambers87 · 05-17-2003, 06:17 PM

Yup, the only thing is that it would be kind of weird having ted danson on NBC playing a character other than Sam Malone....and well the complete opposite from sammy....

JenniferlovesBecker · 05-17-2003, 06:40 PM

Thats true. But I think Ted would be happy he wasn't working for the Cyinical Bummed Stupid (CBS) Newtork.

Let me ask everyone a question:
Do you guys blame its not being renewed on Nancy Travis?

I read that on jumptheshark.com, someone said it was Nancy Travis's fault.
And in my opinion ITS NOT HER FAULT.
That Moonves dude I guess just wants to have family comedy on.
If you ask me....I want some cool nowadays comedy on.....called BECKER...anybody with me?

AnaheimPMWitch · 05-17-2003, 07:19 PM

well *ducks* being a Terry fan I think its Partly Nancy's fault BUT I think its mainly the fact that they moved it to Sunday then ANYTHING else *laughs* dont shoot me though thats JMO

I'm not trying to shoot at you, but your wrong.

Its not partly her fault.

Its mostly 1. Leslie Moonve's fault, and 2. the fact that they moved it to Sunday

The way I see it is that Nancy Travis did a DAMN good job as 'Chris', she got EXCELLENT reviews from TV critics all around her, and Ted Danson himself, said on every talk show that I watched with him, said he loves Nancy Travis, shes a great actress,and shes lots of fun to work with. And plus the show averaged a VERY respectable ratings on a weekly average of 10.4 million viewers. Thats DAMN good for "BECKER".

The critics waved at the new style of BECKER this season.
My point is CBS wants FAMILY comedy, I mean HELLO, look at their new fall lineup for next season, common sense.
I'm sorry MEL I just wanted to speak MO.

Thats the truth, and if you really think it was her fault, call Leslie Moonve, and ask him why it was cancelled.

On another note, I have read at MSNBC.com, that BECKER iseither going to return to fall schedule if one of the new comedies doesn't work or will be a midseason backup.

Frasier W. Crane · 05-17-2003, 10:00 PM

I deffinatly think that it is because of the move to Sundays...first placed with 60 Minutes and "Bram and Alice", then paired with "60" and "MBFGL"...that was lame. CBS killed it's own show.

JenniferlovesBecker · 05-17-2003, 10:30 PM

OMG I know, and that was a brutal night!
And those two cancelled lame sitcoms Bram and Alice, MYBFGL, come on CBS get real!

no its cool I didnt say it was her fault I just said that being a Terry fan thats just my opinion but I do agree its TOTALLY the fact that they moved it to Sunday

I stopped watching it because I was never home

JenniferlovesBecker · 05-18-2003, 12:12 PM

.....I'm just thankful that we live in AMERICA.....you know what I mean Mel?
