Is "A Minute With Stan Hooper" cancelled or not??

But as long as "Arrested Development" is around.... its all good.

Miss Golden · 01-12-2004, 06:57 PM

I hate to see It's all Relative go, but I hope Whoopi and Tracy Morgan get the ax before May sweeps. Happy Family's ratings are rising each week, but it is still not a knockout show, but NBC will have to bring something back.

factsoflife · 01-12-2004, 08:04 PM

Here's my take- I'm gonna do all sitcoms... new or old...

The Ortegas (this is UPN right?)

Sorry if i forgot something let me know.

Miss Golden · 01-12-2004, 11:27 PM

The Ortegas was a FOX show which was originally suppose to air at 8:30 Eastern on Sunday Nights where Bernie Mac currently airs.

Something tells me Bernie Mac may be ending this year too.

i doubt it Bernie Mac is one of the cornerstones of the Fox schedule and as far as i can tell the ratings are still decent. its not going anywhere.

Bernie Mac has not drawn as well as FOX hoped it would. It will probably come back considering Fox relys on Reality shows for the brunt of their ratings. I just thought it could be in for cancellation due to it being delayed this past year until late November for its season premiere.

True, but i bet its still good enough for a third season. plus FOX is desperate for shows that get some kind of ratings.

The intresting thing to watch will be what it does with Arressted Development, hardly a ratings winner, but a huge favorite of critics and industry folks.

Pavan · 01-15-2004, 12:25 AM

I think the following new sitcoms will return:
ABC: Hope & Faith, I'm With Her, It's All Relative
NBC: Happy Family
CBS: Two and a Half Men
FOX: None
UPN: Eve, All of Us
The WB: Like Family, All About the Andersons

Might have a chance:
ABC: Married to the Kellys, mid-season entry: The Big House
NBC: Whoopi
FOX: Arrested Development
UPN: No other shows
The WB: Mid-season entry: The Help

Mid-season comedies: The Stones (CBS) and Come to Papa (NBC) will be DOA (dead-on-arrival)! And whatever FOX is launching, they can't develop sitcoms at all.

Every other new sitcom, I didn't list will be canned I think, for example, The Tracey Morgan Show.

Mr. Television · 01-15-2004, 12:35 AM

Bernie Mack still gets good ratings. It will get renewed. It won't get cancelled until at least after its 4th season so it will have enough episodes for syndication.

barwars · 01-15-2004, 08:19 PM

"A Minute With Stan Hooper" has been officially cancelled.

Meanwhile....
"Frasier" ends forever on May 13th.

db108108 · 01-17-2004, 07:06 PM

NBC, with Frasier and Friends leaving, has a huge problem with sitcoms. That's why Happy Family, Whoppi & Scrubs will all be back. Tracey Morgan & Good Morning Miami? Not likely.

ABC: All will be back except Married To The Kelley's, It's All Relatvie & I'm With Her. All of these shows are very limited appeal anyway (I've seen all three) and have very little room to move.

Fox: Arrested Development might come back as more of a vanity project, but nothing else is clicking on the network.

CBS: Two & A Half Men is the new "Raymond" (if not in quality, then in ratings), Becker is on the edge (won't be back). All of CBS's new shows are performing so well that I guess they don't want to mess with success.

UPN: Eve, All of Us are obvious, but Rock Me Baby might slide through. It's showing some ratings promise.

WB: It's been yet another wash out year for the WB and sitcoms, but Steve Harvey, Jamie Kennedy, Reba & Grounded For Life will survive. The rest won't.

For ratings of all the shows, check out http://www.angelfire.com/tv/JustTVRa...ingsindex.html

Neilsen is really cracking down on the illegitimate use of it's ratings, but I'm trying to keep this site going for as long as I can. I think it's important for people to know how their favorite shows are doing. Besides, why fall in love with a show that's doing horrible, only to see it canned after a few weeks?

Miss Golden · 01-31-2004, 01:05 PM

Whoopi and Happy Family will have to come back because NBC cannot survive on just Scrubs and Will and Grace as their only 2 returning sitcoms.
