Much as I loved Profiler and Pretender, at least they were both allowed good long runs, so I'm not particularly bitter.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

I'm bitter about Boomtown.
Wrod. That was an outstanding show, and I loved Donnie Wahlberg in it.

For some reason I've never thought of the Big 3 networks in the quasi-personal way I have about Fox, the WB, and UPN. Which I suppose is rather healthier, as my reaction to Due South's cancellation was a sort of "oh well, that's too bad..." rather than "ROT IN HELL, KELLNER!"

And Neil McDonough. Who ended up on the crap CSI-lite Medical Investigations.

It's possible I'm operating on nostalgia for the Ally Walker days, but I did really like that show.
I really liked it too. But, at some point, I really stopped liking it a lot. I haven't watched it in forever but I think it was probably related to an overuse of Jack. Jack was a lot like Spike, for me. I was interested for a while but then there was too much and I was suddenly screaming, omigodyou'resoannoyingwhywon'tyoujustDIEalready, at my tv screen.
They canceled Another World and put James Reilly's foolish Passions on the air.
I can't entirely fault them for that. Reilly clearly has a multiyear overall deal with Satan.

True, but it was on a Friday night. Nothing good gets the ratings it should on a Friday night.
X-Files did. It didn't even get good Friday night ratings, and when they replaced it with that sappy drama that I never watched with that doctor (memfault) it got better ratings. I'm not going to be an NBC apologist; I mean Fear Factor is everything I hate about reality, not to mention The Apprentice(s), and that the humorless cameowhore Will & Grace still airs (and wins Emmys) sticks in my craw, but I'd rather a network aired all crap and kept my good show on the air like WB and especially UPN.
And I put 90% of the blame on FOX for reality television. But I hate FOX for cancelling all the most amazing shows. Do I even need to make a list?

And then they moved it to Sunday.

Well Friday night is the death slot. Had H:LOTS proven it's worth they'd have moved it too. And they did try boosting the ratings with at least one Sunday viewing stunt-cast (Robin Williams) and several L&O crossovers.
