I'm still pissed that crappy Old Christine was renewed over Out of Practice. With very little promotion, OOP scored better ratings than Christine has now (in every demo). It was one of few well written and well cast traditional sitcoms on air. Then you have the overrated How I Met Your Mother which couldn't come close to the ratings OOP gets.

I don't understand how they cancelled it. It's probably the highest rated cancelled show ever! The only reason they kept Old Christine is for the Seinfield connection which got it lots of promotion and the undeserved Emmy nod.
