One of my favorites, Terra Nova, got axed. Hope SciFi picks it up!

I got a bit turned of by the ideology spouted, and the "enforcer with a heart of gold" who gets "paid" for protection, but is considered righteous because the "do nothing police" ignore the minority business's crime problems.

I said; "yeah okay, what else is on".

I also enjoyed Harry's Law...also liked The Firm, Awake, and Missing that are also cancelled. I liked CSI Miami and CSI New York, which I think they are still debating on axing, better than the CSI Las Vegas which got pretty ridiculous at times. I also read that they thought Harry's Law's audience was too old for the advertisers. Sometimes I feel that if I really enjoy a show, it might be the kiss of death for it.

Default If I like it they cancel it.

I like Harrys law. Also Missing - Unforgettable - Finder - A gifted Man and even Awake I liked although my husband didn't. There are only six epiodes left of the Closer on USA which has also been axed. Sitcoms and reality shows are the cheapest to make so that is what we get stuck with. Some of the syifi shows I liked like Doctor Who have moved to showtime. The problem is when a show moves to either HBO or Showtime not only do you have to subscribe so it ups your already high cable bill but they are then free to have alot of nude scenes and I find them boring and often not even with the normal flow of the stories just thrown in so they can be R rated.

Default hbo/showtime

Agreed about the nude scenes..I am also put off by the unlimited useage of the "F" word...Not that I am a prude by any means but they just use it for shock value...That is why I don't watch VEEP...Couldn't believe that show was renewed..

You can't turn away more than half the country and expect ratings.
It's funny how a tv show can impress people differently. I am a staunch conservative and was entertained by the story lines and humorous (admittedly sometimes ridiculous) character situations, but never thought about it expressing a liberal or conservative view on controversial subjects. Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but either way, I enjoyed the show for what it was worth which is entertainment. Actually, if I rethink the cancellation decision, because it is NBC they must have thought the writing was getting too conservative!

"The Closer" ended because Kyra Sedgwick decided to end her involvement. It looks like the show may continue with a slight change in characters. "Harry's Law" and "Prime Suspect", both on NBC, have been cancelled. Seems NBC doesn't like shows with strong female leads...and it doesn't have anything to do with politics. "Law and Order" was on for 20 years...and they always pushed a "liberal" agenda.

Agree with you on that point. How "real" is to to try to survive with several other people on an island or a remote jungle? Nothing real about that to me. Just my 2 cents.

"The Closer" has been one of my favorites since it debuted 6? years ago. I will miss it, but it has a strong ensemble cast, so we will see if the successor show will make it.
