Third Watch and Point Pleasant Cancelled

tvnutz

Both shows have been axed by their respective networks,dont care about PP since it was just plain boring,but 3rd Watch is great and they wont have enough time to wrap up the storylines now. :mad:

Mr E

I liked PP. I was hoping they'd show the last couple of episodes before they stop it, but looks like they won't now (I just want to know what was on that tape Dina Meyer's character watched last week!)

Real pity about Third Watch. Was a very decent show. Made great viewing when RTE didnt dump it on at about 1am.

Pity Third Watch was relegated to the graveyard slot for so long and then just disappeared... made it night on impossible to follow

That show was/is brilliant and I can't wait for the new series

Those shows were great... pity about them...

Is wrestling being cancelled altogether? Seems like all the shows are there

Oh how I hate raymond.

Yes, C4 and RTE never gave 3rd Watch much support over this side of the atlantic. Would have got into if it had been man handle by Network 2 orginally, interrupt for Gone To The Dogs or something and then put to the graveyard slots over on RTE 1. C4 put out at 3am with double episodes. Why?

As for PP, didn't look all that interesting.

Grounded for Life is another show RTE buys but shows at 1am as does ITV, again why?

As for Ray. Well I thought it was easy going family comedy, but not a regular viewer. Certainly not worth the kind of Money Ray Ramano gets paid for it. He got more money then Friends, Fraiser and Seinfeld. Again Why?

tru calling has been temporarily saved, they've stopped production on it, but they're going to air the rest of the filmed episodes.

i LOVED 3rd watch when i managed to watch it, excellent characterisation and actors.
dead like me was fantastic during its first season, but got crap during its second, real shame!

The six episodes filmed for Season 2 have been aired already on Australian TV and are on the net.

Pity about 'Last Comic Standing'... I actually enjoyed catching this (on Comedy Central?) when I was in the U.S... they were running a marathon one night... my friend and I stayed up until about 4am watching it if I recall...

Pity.

tvnutz

Some good shows getting the axe alright,and some crap shows sticking around...can anyone actually stand Joey??

anyway,you should watch 3rd Watch on thursday after the west wing,even if you have never seen it before,i only go into last season,and i can tell you this season premiere just kicks ass,its really really cool,brilliant gun fight in the ER....and one of the 3rd watch will make the ultimate sacrifice....dun dun dun,or so the trailer said

really though,tv at its best,watch it!

wasnt it just really boring? i watched for 4 eps to see if anything would actually happen but then I gave up! really bad. and to think Channel 4 put off showing Lost for this.

segadreamcast

No...they put off 'Lost' so that the fairly popular Desperate Housewives could run in the same timeslot, so that Lost could start there in August and - consequently - the next season of DH could take up the timeslot again later in the year/next year. Thus ensuring a year-round 'popular' slot for Channel 4, much like their Friday nights used to be.

my god that's some list of cancelled shows...there are one or two i enjoyed watching there.

PP annoyed me....just seemed too cloy and unexciting.

Really loved Third watch but in the end i kept missing shows as they'd be on at some weird hour or changed without notice

OFDM

The cops on third watch were good - but the bloody whinging lame-ass firefighters made it unwatchable - had it just been a cop show it would still be on.

I didnt like Point Pleasant at first but i have enjoyed the last few episodes... i noticed that E4 didnt show it last night.

dearg_doom

Third Watch was great, and I mean early ER great, in its first two series, but then the writers went mad or something, and the show got a bad case of cameo-itis, and tbh were it not for 9/11 the show would have been cancelled long ago.

I really hate when a quality (drama/thriller)show starts to become a soap, and unfortunately that's what happened to TW!

tvnutz

just watch tonight,it is a brilliant ep...except is running late,the west wing was half an hour late starting,what is with RTE? was their an extended news program or what?

I think it was late because of the Pope news bulletin.

Tennis

Scrubs Season 4 (already showing on RTE) will replace Point Pleasent on E4 starting with a double bill on Wednesday 13th April at 9.00pm

gazzer

ahh . i thought they would show the last few episodes of Point Pleasent even thought it was axed in the states.

It could have been axed mid-season.

Um, I read somewhere that joey is being cancelled. It is god awful tripe. I tried watching it, I'd say I stuck it out longer than most, but GOD!!!!! I hope the networks don't give it 1 last push, but it is bleeding viewers each week.

Oh and Six Feet Under is filming it's last series.

jill_valentine

I expected more wailing from Dead Like Me fans than Point Pleasant, but netwide I didn't pick up any DLM worry buzz at all...

You read wrong. 'Joey' has been renewed for a second season. And 'Arrested Development' is under serious threat. US viewers - you have fu*cked up :mad:

Isn't Joey in the top 5 of most watched programs in the US at the moment?

dearg_doom

I thought AD got saved. because it was so popular on DVD?

I hope it is, it's the best comedy going imo, and I want to see more of Elaine from Seinfeld!

Elmo

NBC have had a terrible year with most of their shows ending last year. The americans don't stay with shows as long as the british (Coronation Street, The Bill, Emmerdale, EastEnders) Actually the American Audience are quite good at choosing good shows to watch in comparision.

I don't think Joey got into the top ten except for its first week. Just like over here on RTE TWO.

NBC CEO: "**** FOX and American Idol, **** CBS and there CSI shows. Why cann't ER remain top and Law And Order."

I say that American have good taste in shows but now looking at the top show, 6 of them are Reality TV. :mad:

tvnutz

That cant be right...where is Without a Trace? Its been doin better than CSI NY.

Elmo

That cant be right...where is Without a Trace? Its been doin better than CSI NY.

CSI NY may not be there next week. Over all Without A Trace may be doing better.

House may dissappear from that list and be cancelled.

tvnutz

oh right,i thought they were the overall ratings for the season.

Tristram

Have really enjoyed watching Third Watch over the last few years.Sad to see it go but went out with somewhat of a bang at least.Thank christ Bosco didnt get with Faith like some maniacs were saying(prolly fat maniacs).

Point Pleasant was rubbish not bothered that it was cancelled.Joey is terrible but then again Friends wasnt that great so not surprised.

tvnutz

bosco with faith would be like him hooking up with his mother!
