Oh no! "2 Broke Girls" is cancelled??? Where, oh where, will I get my smutty, low-brow, sexual-innuendo-filled trash TV viewing now? "Will and Grace" better step up to fill the void!
ReplyDeleteI'm watching Will and Grace only if Rosario is back!
DeleteOh gawd yeah, I'd forgotten all about Rosario -- LOVE HER TOO!
Deleteshe won't be happy to hear it!
DeleteI never watched Will & Grace, but it was one of my mom's favorite shows. She is so excited for the return.
ReplyDeleteSo, how pissed are you about Baby Daddy? Seems like they are taking away all the good ones, eh?
I did not hate Will and Grace, but I also did not love it as much as other multi camera sitcoms, there was always something missing in it, maybe the fact they are so cynical that them two are unlikeable and annoying and also because their stories weren't always very good, and usually lacked in any kind of warmth. I did love the bitchiness from Karen and Rosario, but they weren't lead characters and you can't base a sitcom just on two good characters.
DeleteI kinda had a feeling they will end Baby Daddy but not cancel it like this, ruthlessly, just to use the money for the second part of the season for some new Blackish spinoff which nobody will ever watch. Baby Daddy did start to lack in atmosphere it had before, but it was still their most watched comedy and with PLL the only thing FreeForm was actually known for, so it is crazy to just kill it on the tenth episode of the season instead of finishing it properly and announced on the 20th this summer. The same is with Last Man Standing, the kids went to college or got married, so it was natural for the sitcom to end, but after six years of being their second most watched comedy and the best watched programme on Friday nights they at least deserved final six or ten episodes for some closure
Nothing irritates me more than when a show gets cancelled without a proper sendoff of all the characters. Even if you are going to give the show the boot, I think they need to understand that the viewers deserve some kind of closure for sticking with the show for many years. To just strip it away without a proper goodbye? That's just rude!
Deleteit is, especially with long running shows which obviously brought them much money and viewership. Five farewell episodes isn't much to ask.
DeleteI have heard that many of the new tv shows released this year have done badly. Maybe that's why they're trying a come back with Will and Grace. I used to like it, but that Debbie Messy girl is a bit stupid. If she shut her mouth, I'd be okay with her.
ReplyDeleteyes, Grace is so annoying in the sitcom, she often grates on my nerves. She is supposed to be cute, but she sure ain't, if they did not have Rosario and Karen I never would have watched it. I was never an overly big fan of the sitcoms with cynical and egoistic people such as Will and Grace and old Seinfeld. That being said, the sitcom was often funny and entertaining, but not overly so. Dahlink, out of all the new comedies, you might like SUPERIOR DONUTS on CBS, with Judd Hirsch. It is so old school, warm but very relevant, brave and charming, I love it, it will be my fave sitcom from next season now that Baby Daddy and Last Man Standing have been killed
