I had the good fortune to be at a charity golf tournament with actor Joe Mantegna a few years back, shortly after the show was axed. He sat next to me at the after tourney dinner, and we chatted about the show. Super nice guy. At that time, he told me all the actors were really devastated at the show's canceling because they all really believed it was a quality piece of work, and the audience it did have - albeit low int the ratings - was seriously devoted to the show (which I guess would not be kinda <I>Jericho</I>-esque). And yet, Joe completely understood that the whole family drama thing was on its way out, and television is business. It made me appreciate how resilient actors can be - perhaps more so than us viewers. LOL! :-)LillyKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357173816988754377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15114892.post-32691995459631811122009-02-16T16:47:00.000-05:002009-02-16T16:47:00.000-05:00I think the Roma Downey suggestion is a good one!I...I think the Roma Downey suggestion is a good one!<BR/><BR/>I've been all nostalgic watching the full series on DVD. It's such a treat to have it in one box set. Such a great show! Like you, I still haven't forgotten its untimely cancellation courtesy of Les and co. at CBS. They pulled the same stunt several years later with Joan of Arcadia, so I have two beefs with the network.TVFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077226156307117107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15114892.post-8073312109072531002009-02-15T21:23:00.000-05:002009-02-15T21:23:00.000-05:00Loved.This.Show.Awww, TVFan - you got me all nosta...Loved.This.Show.<BR/><BR/>Awww, TVFan - you got me all nostalgic with this post! :-)<BR/><BR/>I, too, watched DQMW religiously when I was in college, and I STILL haven't forgiven Les and CBS for its abrupt cancellation. It was such a quality show, and both DQMW and <I>Touched by An Angel</I> held down my weekend television viewing habits for a many years.<BR/><BR/>Jane is definitely worthy of being grandfathered in as a PTR Fave (which means I think I might have to come up with an equally appropriate and nostalgic post some time in the future to do the same for Roma Downey. ;-) )LillyKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357173816988754377noreply@blogger.com
