Well, I just read that Everwood shot two endings, so there probably will be resolution ...

But still, I think Everwood should of been renewed for at least 13 episodes and put in 7th Heaven's slot after that wraps up...

I don't know...when I hear Series Finale...I tend to think SERIES FINALE...meaning the end, finito, no more stories to tell, that's all folks...I don't think...'Hey! Maybe they are coming back next year, so the wording series finale is just a lie and they are basically getting me to tune in for the last episode as a last ditch effort to raise ratings'.

Maybe Everwood and Half and Half should have said Series Finale for a month and a half, maybe their ratings could have been boosted.

Fact of the matter, 7th Heaven wrapped up their stories...Everwood did not.

The Game is about the wives/girlfriends of professional football players. The pilot was broadcast about a month ago as an episode of the mother show. One of the characters, the girlfriend of the team's running back top draft pick, is GIRLFRIENDS' Joan's niece.

I thought the pilot was great...funny and witty...but also with hints of the kind of drama that SEX AND THE CITY was so good at. The standout star IMO is Wendy Raquel Robinson, who played Principal Regina Greer on STEVE HARVEY.

Also someone stated before that launching shows at midseason is risky. I have to disagree...IMO it's much SAFER to launch shows midseason than in the fall. In the fall viewers are being bombarded with upwards of thirty-plus new shows...hard for any one to gain taction, hence the historical rate of new series failures in the fall. However, some of the biggest hits in recent memory (over the past twenty or so years) have been launched in midseason.

The creator of Everwood said they shot a different ending if they got cancellled. As for 7th Heaven, it was ALWAYS said that they didn't WANT to cancel it, but had to because of rising costs. They lost 16 million by renewing the show last year and it would be higher this year.

When the show returns next year I'm pretty sure it will HAVE to have some sort of spin off. So technically, they didn't lie. They've tied up the old 7th Heaven and have set things up for a new version of the show.

I love Ausiello giving it to Ostroff. LMAO.

I think Runaway seems like a good show, but it's always a gamble ... I wish it success but it'd be funny if it fell flat. They COULD of had Everwood as a backup, which is what they should have done.

    • Well, I think she's trying to be funny, and it's technically accurate, if misleading. If you leave out the Sonni part it's "Josh left Reva to (go to) Venezuela shortly before Reva had her miscarriage because of Vanessa." I guess "Josh left Reva after finding out the child she was carrying was his father's, and miscarried because of her drugged out step-daughter-in-law, where he met a woman with split personality..." isn't as "snappy".
    • Thanks for the info. Timm was a model for years, so one could speculate he may have done something like nudity etc... that violated CBN's moral clause. He was good in the role. He had an awesome mop of 80's blow dried hair that would rival Ted McGinley.....LOL
    • Before I met Reva, I really did enjoy Josh and Annie. The beginning of their relationship was really cute, the flirting and chemistry was there. I was fully into it, but then I learned who Jeva was and realized it couldn't sustain. I just read a few interviews that Kim gave online, and it's pretty clear she loves her wine, which I love. I'm a wine guy too, so I'm not surprised she had to have a little here and there to get through some things.
    • Opinion polls conducted by soap podcasters are not the same as "soap opera award shows".
    • Unfortunately, that period of the show would likely just put you to sleep. A part of me agrees, as I do think Robert is a good actor (better than I gave him credit for at the time), but I'm not sure, aside from Harley, how much he ever clicked with other ladies. He did have some spark with Crystal Chappell. I know there were claims they didn't get along either, although I remember reading somewhere (I think) a story about how Michelle was panicking when they had to film the rope ladder scenes in Venezuela, and Kim had to help her through...and Kim had also had a bit to drink.  (I hope I have the details right)
    • Does anyone have January 6, 1999 (2958) in english?

    • Thanks for this. I probably remember Empty Nest more fondly than a lot of folks, even in our age group. I remember mainly watching the later seasons whenever I was home on Sat nights simply because Sophia was added to the cast, even though the show seriously lost its momentum after Kristy McNichol left. Always surprised how long NBC just let it run and disappointed on how it became lost/forgotten over time. A few years back once was discussing old tv shows with some folks and they brought how they remembered Kristy McNichol in Family, but none of them remembered Empty Nest until I pushed pertinent details on them.    Fun fact, Grace Zabriskie, best known for her  work on Twin Peaks, appeared in both the series premiere and series finale. (BTW @kalbir I’ve come across some very interesting 1995-96 weekly ratings & commentary look out for them in the next couple days in the 90’s ratings thread!) The 1980-81 season was NBC’S nadir for everything wasn’t it? Primetime was a disaster, daytime was in the toilet, News & Today show were forgotten about, SNL nearly on its last ropes etc. think Johnny Carson was the one thing pushing NBC through and even his show went from 90 mins to 60 mins. Glad they did give Hill Street Blues a Chance though.  Strange CBS Friday nights the Incredible Hulk was only at #46 leading into the #3 and #1 shows. Benson didn’t look too great either. The 8:00/7:00 Fri night slot really was cursed for the duration of the 80’s and 90’s wasn’t it, save for Full House? NBC wouldn’t have a successful newsmagazine until Dateline in what 1991, 1992? Funny though as of 2025 only the original recipe 60 Minutes still does well, as its competitors 20/20, Dateline, Primetime Live or companion shows like 48 Hours are either dead or useless junk to fill out a schedule.
    • You could just say you didn't like the actress from Halloweentown without attacking looks.  Not cool
