The swift ax of the network brass continues today. They've canceled a couple of ABC shows that no one I know watched (Rodney and Hot Properties) and one FOX show that I know a lot of people watched, Reunion. I haven't watched it but I know it had something to do with a murder mystery, right? A whodunnit? Not sure if we'll even find out what happened there.
Correction: Rodney has not been canceled. Not sure why or how I thought it was, but it's still on the ABC schedule.

Reunion had some of the worst acting I've ever seen on network TV. It was horrible.
I still refuse to believe that show Rodney even exists because no one in Los Angeles that I know has heard of it or watches it. No I know in NY or Arizona has either.
I downloaded an episoe of Hot Properties and it wasn't horrible. Sofia Vergara's is a brickhouse and Nicole Sullivan is pretty funny.

I am pissed about Reunion being cancelled!! And I am still reeling from Prison Break being on hiatus until March. FOX has issues.

I am really pissed off with Prison Break being off the air until March...move it to another night, people will follow.....such as Thursday at 9 , as now Reunion is gone. Another show that I watched. Sure the acting wasn't that good, but it was cheesy fun, with a whodunit plot.
I really don't understand what Fox's philosphy is in taking Prison Break off till March. Sure they have returning shows, but why do they have to stay put. Fox would have a great night if they had Prison Break followed by 24. American Idol and 1000 specials based on it is all they care about.

Of them all, it's the canceling of Reunion that annoys me the most. The acting may not have been great, but it was still fun to watch. Though to be honest, I was wondering how they would be able to make a second season, as it almost seems like there should only be one season, based on the one year a week format.
Bad year for Fox.

i understand that it wasn't good acting or writing but it was entertaining and fun to watch. I just hope they let it run it's course with the season because i want to know what the "Frak" (for lack of a better word) happened, why did they murder Sam!

I watch Reunion because it sounded like an interesting premise and I set my DVR to record the series. If it didn't occasionally pop up in my list of shows, I'd never watch it. Hell, I don't even know what day it's on. After the very first episode I nearly cried because the acting and writing were so bad, but the plot has developed in such a way that I find myself compelled to watch it just to see what happens even though I know that information will be disseminated in the form of a horribly executed TV show. I've often found myself in the middle of a particularly tedious episode and after an especially bad line I will wince and silently hope that they just cancel the damn show so I can get some resolution and not have to suffer through it anymore. And lo, my prayers have been answered. Goodbye, Reunion, I will soon be doing everything in my power to forget you ever existed.

Hmmm...for some reason that link doesn't list Rodney as one of the shows canceled. Maybe I imagined it? I can't find anything about it being canceled, so maybe I'm mistaken. But Threshold and Reunion are definitely gone...

Come on Reunion's acting isnt that bad. As long as we get to find out who whacked Sam then I'm happy with the show. Save Reunion for at least this year.

I don't know what all of you are talking about. I find Reunion to be one of the most creatively well written shows in TV history. That might sound a little silly to all of you TV aficionados, but I believe those that have bothered to actually watch it will agree that whoever wrote this series, and all it all intertwines, should be writing all murder mystery movies forEVER!!!
I also find this show to be like no other, in which cancelling it in the middle of the season should be unheard of. What is the point is setting us all up, those that are fans, to watch it all go down, want to know what happens, and then leave us all hanging?!
I hope there is a chance that the fate of this show will change, even if it is moved to a different night/time or even to a different network.
KEEP REUNION ALIVE - Sam's Dead and we want to find out why!! :-)

Reunion is my favorite show on TV, second to LOST (of course)!! All of my friends watch it. Is there a petition somewhere? If anyone knows of one, please let me know. If FOX cancels Reunion for good, I will never watch The OC again (its the only other show on FOX that I watch)!!!

I'm extremely upset that Reunion has been cancelled. From what I understand they are at least going to be showing all of the episodes that were ordered. However, it is an extremely well written show with a great plot. It's one of my "must-see's" every week along with the likes of Gilmore Girls, Nip/Tuck, Will & Grace and Desperate Housewives. Reunion fans unite! Let's do everything in our power to save our show! It worked for that dreadful Veronica Mars!

I agree with some of the comments mentioned. Reunion doesn't really have great acting but it entertains those of us who watch it. I feel like the show isn't being given a chance. I cannot believe this show is cancelled when there are many others I would like to see off the air. I've never really watched anything on FOX until Reunion started and if this show goes off the air I can guarantee that I'll never watch it again. I can see why it would only last for one season but as long as we can just find out what happens to these 6 characters I will be happy (or at least not as frustrated as I am). Also, there is a petition - please sign it to help save our show.

Reunion is a great show. I can't believe they are cancelling it. Let me guess....they are going to replace it with another boring reality show. Don't worry folks....Paris Hilton somehow got another season so you will still have plenty of mindless tv to watch. The networks need to have something on for those of us who don't want to watch another season of people eating bugs or Paris saying "That's hot."

I can't believe they are cancelling Reunion! Reunion is the only reason why i even watch FOX! The plot of the show hooked me when the were airing the commericals for the season and i was passing through the channels. After Reunion goes off, I will have no reason at all to watch FOX!!

I have watched reunion from the first episode and would really like to see it through to the end. It has a great story line and we want to see how it plays out, not read about it online or in the paper. I don't think they are being fair to those of us who have been loyal viewers. A new time slot was not even tried - why not? Lets keep reunion on the air!!!

I'm upset about Reunion being cancelled. Come on! The rating was not good because it ran in a same time with Apprentice! But we still managed to watch it - we typed it and watched later. It's a good show. There is nothing else to watch out there.

EVERYONE WRITE LET US AHVE OUR SHOW BACK!!
