... Save October Road ...

Now, there are a few TV shows that I watch religiously...Lost (even though half the time I don't understand what I'm suppose to understand), Dexter (even though it's really a showtime show that NBC is showing as "all new") and October Road.

Well, today there's an article out about ABC's schedule for the Fall. And guess what, "Notes From the Underbelly," (what ever that is) "Women's Murder Club" (again, whatever that is) and "October Road" (uhh what?) were left off ABC's schedule. Do the powers that be understand what they've done to me and my former co-worker & emailing buddy, Kim? We religiously watched and the following day would email the morning away (in between work, of course).

The characters are not academy award winning actors, but Tom Berenger (The Commander) has been nominated...but they are a well orchestrated group. They characters work together...no one is the scene stealer. The show made me proud, sad and mad enough to cry. That's what shows are suppose to do. Right? They didn't go around sleeping with a bunch of people, well maybe they did, but that's popular in the "popular...still on the schedule shows", right? Look at Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy and the such...they have people sleeping around...But they're still on.

There's mystery about the paternity about a kid on the show and someone who ran away from their past. There's betrayal, love, fighting (physical and verbal), unlikely love (big girl gets the highschool football star who's now in his 30's), a guy that's afraid to go outside the house (now who wouldn't want to see that) and the pizza girl who falls for him.

Also in the article from CNN, there's a couple of new shows that are ON the schedule. One that's another reality based show where someone shows up at people's door with prizes and quizzes the family members about what they know about each other...wow I can't wait to watch that BS...sidenote...this show is backed by Ashton Kutcher's production company, but that's not going to make it any better for me...even thought he's cute. And the other new show ... hold on to what you got...is "Life on Mars." Which by the way is based on a British show about a detective that finds himself by in 1973. Yep...that's right. As Kim said, "A show about a detective back in 1973, but no October Road?" Yep!

What the heck is going on...the gas prices, war, global warming and now October Road is off the schedule!? Now I know it's not the right to compare war with an "unscheduling" of a show...but for heaven's sake, it's wrong, just on a smaller scale.

If you're an October Road lover, then don't waste time...email today to complain. And even if you're not...SAVE A "WORTH WATCHING" SHOW!
