Anyone Felt Cheated By The "Dirty Sexy Money" Series Finale?

[EPCOTPluto]

I only saw the last 30 minutes of it, but I hated how rushed it was.
There were so many plot lines that could've guaranteed another season of DSM.

:fork:

And the 'shock' ending was just, well, stupid.

*SPOILERS*

~~~~
So Karen lost her baby when she fell down the stairs while Nick & his ex kissed. Nola is able to get her young brother back from Simon and goes back to Jeremy, who is involved with that blond girl. Patrick discovers that senator and his wife's scheme and goes to "rearrange their appointments from now on" :shrug: Brian officially stays with Nick, first trying to renovate his entire home, and then was told to "put it back the way it was." And Simon, while in the Imperial Hospital bed, tells Nick the only reason he did all the cruel things was due to Nick's father controlling him, basically informing Nick that his father was alive the whole time.

Whew! :lol:

I didn't even know they had a series finale. I enjoyed the show but it's been so long since they aired it I don't even remember all that was going on. I don't really understand half of ABC's cancellations; DSM was a good show and Samantha Who? was a great comedy.

 

[Disney Soldier]

Nope, never watched it. Was it any good? I did think about watching it but I think something else was on or it came on too late or something.

They burned off the remaining episodes of Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone & DSM this entire summer. I hate how they canceled them all.
PD was good, probably better than the others!

And The Unusuals & Life on Mars were also given the boot.
I understand LoM, with the hiatus over Winter, but The Unusuals was something new as well!

And now, Ugly Betty is supposely being canceled.
The first notice of it is the 2 month hiatus from its previous season & now moving to Fridays at 9pm (I call it the Dead Zone).

And with Defying Gravity, just might as well rename ABC-TV The Shonda Rhimes Channel.

Nope, never watched it. Was it any good?

Well, it was good the first few episodes, but with its time slot, it was physically impossible for me to watch it then. So I can't say much about whatever happened around the middle of the second season. I am sure it became rather dumb... :shrug:

Grey's, Lost, and Desperate Housewives will always keep me running back to ABC. It seems like ABC has tremendouse hits or massive misses.

I watched a couple episodes of PD but didn't get too into it because I knew from the ratings that it would be axed. The thing I don't understand about ABC is their program shuffling. For example, when Samantha Who? was on after Dancing with the Stars, it was a huge ratings winner. They moved it and the ratings fell, but rather than move it back they just put it on hiatus before cancelling it. :shrug:

I think that's the reason for its downfall: there was just too much quirky fantasy going on that turned the majority of viewers off...

And ABC works in such strange ways...

I was hoping PD would move to a cable station. Quirky shows like that do well on cable and are nurtured instead of cancelled unceremoniously.

As for ABC, NBC also works in strange ways Oh network television lol

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

To be fair, I cant see how Life onn Mars would work in the colonies

DSM, was so bad it was great, as for the others never watched them. Perhaps the decline in advertsiing income will see the US join the UK in binning high cost drama/comedy production and you too can look forward to icedancing cooks on horseback joining the circus 7 nights a week. Or better still some menopauasal friend of the producers wife flying around the regions pointing out places of interest. Its the future of telly I tell thee

Not to mention FlashFoward is based on a Canadian novel...

...when I first heard someone mention Flash Forward, I thought the show from the 90s was being remade. :lol:

You know, I think I remember that Disney Channel series from 1997...

Haha yeah, I was wondering what other shows from my childhood would be showing up again... then I realized they're entirely different :lol:

You know, I think that's why According to Jim wasn't canceled until recently.

Since ABC was raking in more from the syndication of the show than the one night each new episode premiere, it lasted about 9-10 seasons!

And every one of them were dumber each episode. :brick:

Pehaps PD could have lived in syndication... well, at least a comic book or movie is in the works now.

I loved that show. It's nice to see the two leads (Jewel Staite and Ben Foster) still have good careers going. Jewel was on Firefly and Stargate Atlantis. Ben was in "30 Days of Night," "3:10 to Yuma" and "X-Men 3."
