Movies and TV The Defenders

BWillie · 08:03 PM

I love this show. I'm sure it's not a real accurate representation of most defense attorney practice but neither is CSI or any of those garbage shows. The series finale is coming up and I really hope CBS renews it. It is just very entertaining, funny, and Belushi steals the show. Great mix of comedy and drama.

Anybody else watch it? What is the chances it will get picked up?

My wife and I really like the show but everything I have read on the net is that it is on the cancel list.

Which is bullshit. It's one of the few shows the wife and I haven't missed an episode of, all season long. They change the night, we keep watching it.

It is a good show , fun anyways. And as stated Belushi steals the show, but Jerry O Connell has become the new Ted Mc Ginley, a show killer.
SLIDERS canceled
GOING TO CALIFORNIA canceled
CARPOOLERS canceled
SAMANTHA WHO? canceled
DO NOT DISTURB canceled
REX IS NOT YOUR LAWYER canceled
Don;t get me wrong I've never had a problem with his work, just not a whole lot of success finding an audience. Just Sayin' But he's with Rebecca Romain so how bad is life really?

Same here. We never miss an episode. The way the ratings are done seems like complete crap. I am not sure who these nielsen families are but my guess is not many of them watch as much TV as they claim they do when they are asked to participate. It sucks a family cannot sign up to be a Nielsen family, I think that would make a huge difference....that and finding an accurate way for them to track DVR'd shows that are watched.

Exactly. I know I'm not a Nielson Family so I don't count. All my friends I've turned onto this show love it. Maybe another network will see the potential and purchase the program?

Doubt it. I was involved with the NUTS campaign to save Jericho and it only got use a few more episodes. It is all about those Neilsen boxes being on so they can drive ad revenue.

Chuck is another great show that is hitting low numbers that could go away this year. We will most likely have to fight for it to stay on TV again this year as well.
