        That's terrible.

        I now know how people feel when a favorite show of theirs, that is also well-written, well directed, and extremely well photographed, is cancelled.

        The Black Donnellys was very good television. It didn't deserve to die this death.

        I hope people buy the first season DVD in storms and perhaps make a Family Guy like push for a future return.

          Another reason to be jaded by TV these days. Wedding Crashers?

          This show was one of the best on TV. It's a shame it's getting canceled. My wife and I DVR it every week and just finished watching this week's episode, an episode I feel was the best yet.

          Wedding Crashers...what a joke.

          Man, this is bad news.
          Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

            We can only hope that FX or HBO or another pay channel picks it up. If it's picked up by a premium channel I don't have, I'll pay for it, that's how much I like BD. Television watching is getting to the point now where it's best to not watch anything until it's past it's first season with the snap cancellations

              Were the ratings that bad for this show? I really enjoyed it and watched it every week, its unfortunate that its being canceled, especially for some garbage reality show, hopefully it gets picked up by another network or cable channel soon.

                Yea, they were bad. Black Donnellys pushed a 3.7 this past Monday. That's not going to keep you on television.

                  This is why I really don't get attached to many shows anymore. As soon as I was hardcore into Boston Public, it got cancelled. I started to like Family Guy, it got cancelled. I liked Lucky Louie, it got cancelled. I really liked Black Donnelly's, it got cancelled.

                    Hey, how about you don't watch any shows I like. Thanks.

                      This is some bull****. This show was damn good. Why doesn't NBC move it to another time slot instead of scraping it all together?

                      Wedding Crashers? Give me a break.

                        I think most people will agree. Black Donnellys wasn't given a chance to succeed with its time slot.

                        I don't think it's smart to put a new show at 10pm. It should have been at 9pm and maybe on Tuesday nights. (Well, I say Tuesday because I don't think there's anything good on television on Tuesdays).

                            well that sucks. With my luck, Friday Night Lights is probably next. I'm just going to stop watching TV.

                              The show is to violent to put on anytime but 10. Also the first two episode had new episodes of NBC's biggest show, Heroes and the ratings for those episodes were low so it was given a chance.

                              This show was better suited for FX or some other cable network.
