Bad news for
American Dreams fans: looks like NBC has cancelled the show. There was talk it wouldn't be renewed anyway, so the cancellation doesn't come as any real shock. We're getting into the real nitty gritty time of the year when the networks announce what isn't coming back and what new shows will debut this fall, so stay tuned to TV Squad for all the latest news.

Everyone is out campaigning to keep
their favorite shows on the air including Michael Davis of
TV
Guide. He wants to keep
American Dreams on NBC even though
the network will probably cancel it. The series has a loyal following
and is one of the few “family friendly” shows on the air. But do
enough people care about the lives of the Pryor family to keep
American Dreams alive? What do you think? Should the family
that absolutely everything happens to, be kept on the air?

It's time for the
networks to start making hard decisions about what shows to keep and
what to let go. We're not surprised to learn
American Dreams
probably won't be back and two stars have already signed on to other
shows.
Third Watch is
already gone.
Medical Investigation
is dead weight that can easily go. A big surprise might come when
JAG
sees its last days now that David James Elliot leaves. Although many
a Maxim cover can attest that
Catherine Bell could carry a show on
her own, just not with the female fans of
JAG. I don't see why
actors like Catherine Bell can't get their own shows. I'd also like
to see folks like
James Marsters wind up in a current show that needs
new life, like say
Law & Order (any of them) or
The
Shield (OK just fanboy wishing there).

Mike Duffy of the Detroit Free Press
offers a number of suggestions for those parents out there looking
for family-friendly programming. It can be hard these days to know
what is appropriate for all ages. When I was growing up I didn't
watch “Hill Street Blues” with my parents, but if I had I
wouldn't have been treated to graphic language either. Today is a
different story of course, and while content has improved as far as
quality, the increase in violence and language isn't the best for
young viewers. Duffy' picks “Joan of Arcadia,” “The Bernie Mac
Show,” “American Dreams,” “Everwood” and eight others as
his top choices. We also learn there will be a new version of "Little House on the Prairie" on ABC. Can't wait until March 26.
