Renew: According to Jim

Sometimes a cancel is not forever, just like the case of Jericho (do you remember the „nuts” story?), or now the case of According to Jim.

ABC ressurected the comedy for the next season, after initially leaving it off the new season’s schedule. The new, seventh season will consist of 18 episodes, but other details are not published. James Belushi, who is the star and the executive producer of this multi-camera comedy, was very happy about the decision and promised us a very great season. Other important character and star of the show is Courtney Thorne-Smith, who played Allison on the well-known series, Melrose Place , was very excited about the next season.

Despite of the last season’s low ratings (little over 6 million viewers per week) the network decided to renew the show, and I think the main reason was the 2007-2008 schedule, because ABC will broadcast three comedies on the new schedule, but all of them are single-camera (for example Carpoolers), and as I mentioned, According to Jim is multi-camera show. So, it’s interesting to know that sometimes a cancel is not sure, but I think in the case of According to Jim, it is a good thing.

Not a real CANCEL!: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

Yesterday was a tragic day for fans of Studio 60 on the Sunset strip, because their favourite show has come to the end. But, fortunately, Aaron Sorkin wrote a nice happy ending for the show and its characters. Note: The other part of the article containing spoilers.

Jordan and Danny finally got their adoption papers and their new daughter, Rebecca will be their key to happiness in the future. I think the last scenes were too romantic, Sorkin tried to show a happy family life and future in a few minutes. I think, he shouldn’t have to do that, all the plot lines wrapped up in a hurried but exciting 5 minutes. Simon and Jack continued their quality work and they answered all the opened questions, they left. And in the end when we find out that Tom’s brother and the two missing soldiers are okay...it was very nice and suprising
scene! But that’s all the good part. I think this show was deserved the cancel because in the last episodes Sorkin made the Studio 60 some idiot and lame romantic show, and this is not the real Studio 60 feeling.
In the final episodes, there are a lot of things, which are very unneccessary and don’t mean anything. And from the ratings, you can see that others probably thinking like me. In the second half of the season not have turned out to be as good as it could have been, but the conlusion: it was a nice show. Some say that the main reason of the cancel was that its target audience didn’t get the feeling of the show. It’s not true, because this kind of shows have no target audience. This shows are for the tv-shows addicts and fans of Sorkin. And for Cancel-addicts.
