The Black Donnellys

It would have never been canceled if anything other than NBC picked it up. NBC has a tendency to drop good shows and keep all those bad reality shows. I have been hoping for 3 years now that someone like HBO picks it up. I have my fingers crossed all the time.

I think that time has passed. Once you break up a cast and crew, it is unlikely there will ever
be enough momentum to justify trying it twice. Plus there is the "black mark" on them as having been
"unpopular" on their shot. I mean some other outlet might buy the episodes and run them in sequence
for you, but nothing new. I was working promotions for a NBC affiliate during the time this show broke, and I got
to watch all the pilots 2-3 months early. This was good enough to run, but I agree, not on NBC. This is
an ABC or a Fox show. They got dealt to the wrong network, for all the reasons you stated, and
for a few more you don't know.
By the way, there was a affiliate's meeting party thrown to launch the shows that year,
and the girl who plays "Pam" on "the office" was one of the hostesses, and she was onstage
in this dress that was about as complimentary to her bust as you can possibly imagine.
God I wish I had that tape today.
She has NEVER been photographed in anything like that ever, to my knowledge. Two puppies
playing in a chiffon sack!
