WTF is it with ABC and CIC?
I get tired of sending useless emails to them when they decide to pull the only show I feel is worth wasting the electricity for. I thought we were over this when the show came back from hiatus and now they pull it for a beyond useless edition of Primetime? They suck worse than a Hoover!

1. It's been cancelled, and the last 3 shows will be on this summer.
Low ratings and high production costs are the culprits.

3. I find their justification hard to swallow
The show opened with high ratings and I didn't notice much of a drop in the quality of writing. Given the locations, how could it be much more expensive to produce than your average sitcom? I hope someone else has the good sense to pick it up once ABC no longer has an interest. I'd love to have a CIC I could respect even if it's only for an hour a week and fictional.

4. The quality tumbled shortly after Rod Lurie was fired...
It was his show. All of his previous films are great. Deterrance is a fantastic bit of filmmaking.
