Not of a fan of the show, but it does still perform decently..so its a good idea that NBC is keeping it...I also heard a rumor that NBC might keep Crossing Jordan, i hope that isn't true..NBC really needs to retire that show..and I'd say end one of the Law and Order shows thats on the bubble....It was fresh development like Heroes that breathed life into NBC this year, hopefully the same can happen next year..

I'm glad! I love Medium... maybe they will move it back to Mondays.

I would definittely be a smart move considering Heroes has so far not helped any other series which was placed after it...

...and "Medium" has better rating than most of NBC's other shows and is the same genre.

On the other, in its 4th season you can't groom a series a hit. So NBC ought to find new successfull series overall.

I still hope Crossing Jourdan is also renewed - I like that series a lot as well, although it's tiresome that between seasons often all recurring characters are ditched and replaced by new ones...

The network reduced the number of episodes ordered... Perhaps it wants it cancelled?

Likely, the ratings are really bad this year. And CBS - who also produces MEDIUM - only wanted the show to have a longer run so they could easier sell it into syndication.

Or maybe this is just behind the scenes drama. Glenn Gordon Caron show are always drama central - with him playing a heavy part in apparently.

Has it reached a 100 episodes yet?

Frankly, I don't know why anyone likes this show. It's SOOOOOO lame.

The Moonlighting guy did this show? Tsk, tsk.

[Sylph]

*Checks Wikipedia*

Yep. So far it has more than 120 episodes.

[bellcurve]

LOL. I could have done that too.

P.S.(and a bit OT) What did you think of Moonlighting? Love it? Hate it? Overrated?

[Sylph]

Bruce and Cybill show?

I liked it, LOL! Loved those two together... It was lame, but I really didn't care about the stories at all, just watched for those two.

I think the adult cast of Medium is pretty strong -- Jake Weber and Patricia Arquette are one of the most believable couples on TV in years. I thought the boss did a great job with stories like going blind, and the sidekick cop character - I suck with names, clearly - was believable and a throwback to the days before cop shows became quite as plastic. The kids are annoying and I think they got too much airtime over the years. I think some of the episodes were very good and genuinely disturbing, like the one where she kept imagining her teenage son dying (it was actually the baby she had miscarried early in her relationship with her husband). Really I think the show ran its course (the last one actually had Mr. Bill, ugh) and I just hope they can wrap it up properly.

I have three of the five seasons on DVD. It's very Film Noir meets television. And the humor and comedic timing were awesome.

Bruce and Cybil have incredible chemistry with each other and I have such a huge crush on Bruce, especially 80's Bruce that was beefy, non-roided, and hairy.

Reached the big 100 with the transition to CBS.

The show is actually not too bad: the family angle is great. I've only seen season 1 and 2 yet, though.

[Sylph]

Yes, I wish there were more noir TV show... Any time I watch this show, it somehow reminds me of a warm & breezy summer night.

Loved those two.

In the end, do you think them finally having sex was the reason for the decline?
