2008 TV Cancellations - RIP October Road, Journeyman And Men In Trees (UPDATED!)

I'm very dissapointed that CBS cancelled Moonlight. In my opinion that was the best show on Fridays, I never watched the network on that day untill that show aired. Now you have a butch of crap on so I will try and find some other network that maybe will have something worth while on.

Well, now I guess I won't have to worry about when I'm going to find the time to watch the shows I love. October Road was my favorite. I also liked Notes from the Underbelly and Men in Trees. I just finished watching on the computer the episodes of Notes from the Underbelly that I missed from last season. My kids were watching TV and I had my earphones on laughing my head off at Danny. The whole reason I thought they still had last season's episodes on the computer was so everybody could catch up for the new season. Now I find out i was just wasting my time. Thanks alot ABC!

I am soooo sad that there won't be anymore October Road, ABC should rethink that decision!!!

I'm going to miss Moonlight soooooo much! I was totally addicted to it and now we will never know if somehow they found a way to be together! Ugh..... and then no more Elmo, Alaska! Patrick just got his memory back! And then there is October Road, so good! There are only so many years you can watch people survive on an island or live together in a house... so repetitive! Blah. CBS and ABC have completely lost their minds in my opinion!

I didn't watch much of Moonlight, but I was planning on watching it more. IT became extremely interesting to me when the guy's wife ended up being alive and then was stabbed and such! I didn't know the character's names but was really looking forward to getting to know more about the show as I hadn't found it till an apparent rerun... the danged strike and things being taken off for ages made it really hard to get "into" a show. I am still fuming about the stupid CW destroying "The Gilmore Girls" and then taking it off after SEVEN damned seasons without any conclusion to the damned LUKE and LORELAI senario,, what's with that? I feel that I wasted 7 years of my life, watching and waiting and loving that relationship and then they tear it all to bits and just END the show without a conclusion AFTER 7 SEASONS. WTF is with that? I feel the same as many of you who say they aren't going to watch a show until it is 2 years into it now. We (hubby and I) are doing that already pretty much. Everytime we get into some show (like "The Class" or "Married to the Kelly's"), they take it off so see most of you new shows in reruns in a few years or on DVD. Geez, if they had taken shows off like this a decade ago, we never would have had success with Seinfeld either, would we????? Stop moving shows around and stop taking shows that have a decent following off the air after 2-3 episodes. Get some people with imaginations and intellect to develope your shows and stop with these stupid reality shows, they are horrible. How many more seasons of the Bachelor do they need? I'm not watching unless you fix up some MAJOR star that I REALLY like and even then, who knows???? OMG, stop torturing us and stop jerking us around!

I will miss Men in Trees, and October Road...why can't they at least write a last show to rap things up...upsetting! I will really miss Moonlighting this was one of the best vampire shows since the old Dark Shadows...Really do you have to remove all of the really good shows?

I was really looking forward to seeing Annie and Patrick reunite with a lot of passion and I was hoping that Jack would have been a little more spontanious and proposed to Marion. I also love Marion's editor and Sam and was glad when they decided to move back to Elmo. City girls adjusting to the mountains and quiteness was quite entertaining. I am rather sad to see it go.

ABC stinks. I really liked October road and I can say that this is the only show I did watch on ABC. Maybe NBC or the WB will pick it up.

i cannot believe they are canceling october road! it has become one of my favorite shows [ever!] and they are canceling it without any closure?! is ABC really going to leave us hanging with all the unanswered questions? this is absolutely ridiculous. its also very disappointing and i dont think i want to watch anything else, ever again, on the ABC network because of this. why are they pulling all the good shows off the network to make room for the crappy ones? if they really knew what the audience wanted, they would keep this show running. come on october road fans! keep writing those letters&emails to the network to show them how much we love this show and how much we want another season!

I am so sorry to see October Road go. I also liked Cashmere Mafia. October Road was the one show I would rush home to see if I had to go out. I always taped it and rewatched it during the week when crap was on the television i.e. any stupid reality show. I wish the powers that be would actually sit down and watch television sometime. Maybe they would see the great writing and character development that goes on. Cashmere Mafia was just fun to watch. Interesting Fluff, Fun Women.

The shows that I will miss are October Road,K-ville, and the only reality show I can handle Beauty and the Geek. The only shows I used to get into to were the ones that had been on a few seasons. October Road and K-ville were actually the first ones I thought looked good enough to start watching and I really got into both of them a lot. They were my favorite ones all week long. Now I'm left hanging on both of them. K-ville not so much, but October Road on sooooo many different story lines it drives me crazy! To the powers that be PLEASE bring October Road back or at least give us a finale show.

I loved October Road, and I was also fond of Cashmere Mafia and Notes From The Underbelly. I am very bummed out by these 3 being cut I think abc is making a mistake.

I should have learned my lesson with Jericho. It seems like the shows I look forward to watching every week have been cancelled. I hear the ratings are really good on some of these shows and yet they still get cancelled. Back to You, Jericho, Men in Trees (that one breaks my heart). I started watching Men in Trees in the second season thinking it was safe since it got picked up and then it gets cancelled.
How about we get rid of 50% of the "Reality Shows" and make room for some good sitcoms. I'd rather watch a well acted sitcom about a farmer looking for a wife than a reality show about it. It's getting a little rediculous.

I HATE REALITY SHOWS! I have enough of reality living my own life, I don't need to see it on TV. I loved Moonlight & Men in Trees, ABC & CBS SUCK! All it comes down to is $$$$$$. It's not what the we want, it's all about them.

I hope some network picks up Moonlight , cause There is so many people upset about the show . What CBS doesnt understand is almost every person that watched that show had at LEAST 2 to 3 friends that watched with them, ever heard of "watch in parties"? D ah! There was WAY more people watching then they know, I had eight people at my house every Friday. I'll miss it.

Well, October Road may be canceled but we are not giving up!! LISTEN UP ROADIES!! Massive letter writing campaign is starting. We are writing to the powers that be to arrive on June 10th, exactly 3 months from the last episode of October Road. Visit the message boards at abc.com for October Road or the yahoo group for Pay October Road Forward campaign for the full details. The time is now!! Every letter counts and a total influx of them at once will certainly get noticed. Let's do it!!!

U no wat i think this sucks i was going to sign up for kid nation and that is not cool those kids learned so much there and i think i could learn there if u dont bring it back im not watching any shows on CBS. Please please bring Kid Nation Back PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again i say im mad not only for Kid nation but for October Road nad what a crappy ending. Kid nation was fulled 2 the 3rd season and i was going to sign up u guys suck. i need that show to survive and that was the only thing to do on Wensdays and now nothing is going to complete the person inside my soul. i think that we should start a potistion to start Kid Nation again infact i will send an email about it now. i think that u guys should turn it back on.

I am so disappointed that Moonlight and October Road are being cancelled. Why do they always take out the really good shows...

I"m really going to miss moonlight i thought that it was a very good love story between human and vampire,,to bad we will never know if they hook up,,makes not want to watch cbs ever again,,jericho was a good show too so sad all the good shows will be gone,,dee from michigan

Wasn't the point of having so many networks that there would be more choice? That there could be niche appeal? That shows with smaller but dedicated followings would find a home? That shows dropped by the big guys would get their second chances?

Yeah, right! Instead we get informercials till noon, winning formula copy cats, and reality shows that look as if some drunken executive dared another to do it. That awful fake japanese masochicm show on Spike now has 2 primetime network imitators. I'm just old enough to remember the days of 3 networks + PBS and sometimes i think we've lost something from that time.

I am so upset that moonlight was cancelled. What was CBS thinking?

Abc sucks! Every time they have great shows they cancel them. Men in trees never had a chance. It was on 3 different nights , got pre-emptied all the time, and was messed up seriously by the strike. You've also decided to take off october road and women's murder club . These are 3 of my favorite shows, and once again, just like with The Nine from last season we have no closure. I am going to boycott abc because why should I invest my time in their shows if they don't care less how we feel. these 3 shows have some of the best casts ever, if you want us back, bring them back and keep them on long enough for people to actually see them. They have staying power!

Well I am pretty sad I really loved Moonlight, it was exciting, and had a good casting, I´m sure I will miss it

I can't believe that Cane and Journeyman were cancelled. Talk about different shows and story lines. There are not many Latino families portrayed on television and this show had a great cast and had an awesome ending. As far as Journeyman.....it was exciting and what a great concept. It was so interesting to see all the time traveling and the way that it was all inter-related. The previous comments were so correct!!! Who cares about all the reality shows....maybe the "older" demographic enjoys watching a show that makes you think.
