| Crap....They cancelled Joan of Arcadia. |
|
Not that I didn't expect it, but I was hoping they would manage to salvage the show.

| 3. It was less preachy than "Touched By An Angel" |
|
I saw "Joan of Arcadia" a few times. It was ok....it only used a rubber mallet to hit you over the head with the religious stuff...unlike the sledge hammer "TBAA" used.
Still, CBS is on some sort of evangelical kick with these shows.

| 4. The first season rarely had anvils.... |
|
And left everyone (including Joan) why he asked her to do a particular task. Sadly the second season was not very good for the most part and got away from the formula.

| 6. The bad news--the show was cancelled. |
|
The good news--it will free up Amber Tamblyn to do other things. She's a very gifted young actress.

| 8. What, it wasn't religious enough? |
|
Feh. I liked that show. I thought it had a nice take on the subject, and I RUN from anything trying to hit me over the head with religion. I'll bet it was because the writers had Joan question things & be irreverent toward God.

that was a very clever show... the idea behind it was pretty interesting, although it did get a bit preachy at times. Meanwhile all those gross reality shows continue unabated. Sigh.
I watch so little TV anymore, just Gilmore Girls and the occasional PBS series.

| 9. I'll try not to celebrate too much, then... |
|
It's just that I loathe everything Barbara Hall has ever done. Hearing that Judging Amy (easily the most racist show on television) and Touched by a Self-Righteous Teenager are going off the air brings me almost more joy than I can contain.
But I am sorry that you won't be able to watch this anymore, since you enjoyed it.
