Okay, I just watched my tape of tonight's episode of "Pepper Dennis" and I can't believe how great this show is! It just keeps getting better and better!

Now, yes. We'll be fair. It wasn't that great when it debuted. But now, it's sexy, it's funny, it's cute and true to the lives of journalists and their hardships with meeting ethical standards. Perhaps I'm a little biased since I'm a journalist but I just LOVE this show! It's like Mary Tyler Moore crossed with Ally McBeal. It has a good cast and entertaining stories, and no it's not "The West Wing" in its glory days but it's a fun little romp that also has heart.

It SO should get renewed by The CW for midseason!!

OK, It's an amazing, amazing show. I love it. I am happy it's going on until July, but it should be on for a second season. I refuse to watch CW at times thinking about the cancelation of Pepper Dennis. :(

The whole show is just awesome. Rebecca, Josh, Brooke..What else can I say? It should be on the CW schedule.

I really hate to be the bearer of bad news.

Romijn & Anderson Lose Out in TV Shake-Up

Rebecca Romijn's new TV show Pepper Dennis and Pamela Anderson's sitcom Stacked are two of the casualties in one of US TV's most ruthless cutbacks. The two shows join a long list of programs that will not return this autumn for new series on their respective networks. In Pepper Dennis, Romijn played an unlucky in love reporter, while Anderson was praised for her role as a busty bookstore employee. Also cancelled, according to top US magazine TV Guide, are long-running comedy The Bernie Mac Show, Jenna Elfman's Courting Alex, doomed Friends spin-off Joey and cult drama Everwood.

From IMDB's entertainment section.

Oh, you're not the bearer of bad news, Roman. We all already knew that when the CW didn't add it to the schedule. :lol:

But that doesn't mean we can't hope they'll change their minds, if just on the merits of the cast and its stories, which have just gained more steam with each airing. ;)

I saw the series premiere, and it was a pretty good show. You say it has now improved? Maybe one of the big networks will pick it up and run with it. It would fit in well with Fox, or maybe FX. :)

I still think it stinks that 7th Heaven, which had a series finale, gets renewed and PD gets the ax even though viewership has risen.

I hate posting news like that, because I and many others were holding out hope that The King Of Queens would not be cancelled, and than the stars it wasn't. My appologies. :)

Wait, ratings have RISEN?!!! OMG, please let htem continue to rise!

For the record, I think "Dennis" would be PERFECT on The CW, from what I can tell. Just give 'em midseason, guys. Please! America will soon grow to love this show just us much as we journos!!

I really believe some network will pick it up for mid-season. If it's that good, no one will pass on it, and if they do, it just goes to show that the execs who run the nets don't know [!@#$%^&*] about what people want to look at.

Well, of course journos like me love the show because we want to see facets of our profession on television, but I'm not sure if the nets realize there is a mass appeal for this show. Have you heard anything to spur these strong beliefs of yours? Because I'm always hopeful when a show is this good and just clicks, but I'm really fearful of what could happen. I just feel the only place that would consider it IS The CW, because it will surely be low-rated (compared to the other nets) like UPN and the WB were. But "Dennis" really is something. I'm just hoping and praying that The CW gives it a midseason pickup. Or by some miracle, another net, like Fox or something. It's very much like a more refined "Ally McBeal" so I could see it on Fox.

I had read that its viewership had risen steadily, which is why I can't understand, once again, why a network is cancelling a show that has risen. If this was the same thinking back in 1978, Dallas never would have lasted 14 seasons over 13 years, because when it first came on, the ratings were not that good. It took time to build an audience.

PD should have gotten alot more pub from The WB. I also think the merger into the CW is getting quality shows like PD axed, which is a damn shame. And they wonder why cable shows are kicking their asses.

    • I just found the commercial on YouTube, with several other GL'ers doing the same commercial - how fun!

      Please register in order to view this content

        She did the same for me once Ghost Reva arrived (the anxiety and paranoia) - which is when the storyline for Rick/Annie started, with their Chicago past and her alcoholism. But before all that, when she was new and tending to Josh's broken leg, she was just normal, sweet and very cute/flirty. 
    • I have to admit Annie exhausted me somewhat before she went nuts. So much anxiety. She and Robert were OK I guess. Didn't ever stick out much one way or the other.
    • I meant to ask in the May thread, but hey...it's not like it won't come up...   ...has our opinions of Jessica changed at this point? I know we debated at one point if she was sincere in her feelings for Ty or if she was in on his bullying. Now that a little more time has passed, what do we think? 
    • Which is why I said...and continue to say mind you...that the designer is still trying to figure out what works for which character...highlight my points with particular characters. And as I also agree with you, too many misses. She has not found a clear, firm rhythm for me. Yet.   I also agree that BTG does a much better job. But I'll give credit where it's due. 
    • I watch many episodes from the Vault, a secret source here on SON, because the quality is much better than YouTube. But, it has commercials that I have to skip through, although even these commercials give me serious nostalgia vibes. All that said, there is a consistent 1996 commercial for Excedrin with Frank Beatty!  He talks right into the camera about his feelings, and it's like Brent Lawrence never left. I wonder if GL fans back in the day ever saw this and had feelings about it. 
    • Dukes of Hazzard had a good run when it moved to 8pm but even when that was failing ABC and NBC couldn't come up with a hit show to dominate  that timeslot. NBC sent The A Team, Knight Rider and Riptide there for their final seasons and CBS did the same with Scarecrow & Mrs King. Otherwise it was a barrage of new shows that never worked.
    • Agree. Much more miss than hit. Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I thought clothing was supposed to be flattering. A lot of the Y&R women are seen in the tight solid color dresses ,often with cutouts/one shoulder. Now that may be a fashion but to have all of them in interchangeable dresses... Do the characters have a particular color pallette/style that is unique to them? BTG does a better job in that department. Some recent Y&R looks. I actually like the dress but we see that style too often.   Nikki's new look is not to my liking.
    • The first show I found had Maeve dressed horribly, and I just shook my head and thought she must've been thrilled to be portraying someone much more sophisticated and rich. Vanessa's hats and gloves probably cost more than her AW character's entire wardrobe.
    • It is the least aware sobriety memoir I've ever read. No spoilers, but where was the editor to ask what she learned from all the stories in her life?
    • Well awards like these are certainly different from big name award shows in a few ways but this is an awards show, not a poll. Not the same gravitas, not the same cachet, etc. but an actual awards presentation show is going to happen. We Love Soaps used to have one. The Webbys, etc. various.  But if you are aware of a better place for this to be posted, then say so, but to be clear, NOT A POLL.
