ABC Axes Sexy Money, Daisies, and Eli Stone

I refuse to watch these so-called "reality" shows. I love "Eli Stone." I was upset when "Everwood" and "American Dreams" were cancelled. Now "Boston Legal" and "Eli Stone!" These are the only shows of substance left. I am ready to get rid of cable. So many channels and nothing to watch! The networks should realize that they have mature viewers. We just might turn off the set if there is nothing worth seeing. Imagine that! We won't watch. Maybe, we'll read! What happens to the networks if their ratings all go down? Most cartoons are trash now. What drug-induced, crazy person ever thought of "Sponge Bob" anyway? How did this get popular? Will people accept whatever is put in front of them without question? Hollywood is also on notice. I refuse to go to or take my tweens to junky movies. Forget special effects and bawdy humor! We won't buy it. I am teaching my kids to be savy consumers. We need quality programs and films with plots and well-depicted characters.

Bring back Eli Stone!!! It is by far the most entertaining show on the current schedule. Everything else is full of crap teenie bopper drama with mid twenty year old acting like they are in their 10th year of HS. Darn the greedy marketing execs!

What are they thinking? Eli Stone is one of the most creative shows on the air!!! My tv is set to record this show every week, and my husband and I couldn't wait for each episode to see what would happen next. We are sorely disappointed in ABC and hope that the reconsider this decision!! Please do not axe one of the only thought provoking shows on the air this year.

I understand everyone's comments above. I, too, enjoy Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone. I do have to state, however, that I feel these shows being canceled have nothing to do with a gay witch-hunt, but rather for other reasons.... - The writer's strike earlier, which saw many shows lose the impetus needed to gain a committed audience (also a coveted demographic audience for advertisers) - The sad truth that these shows are more expensive to produce than the dumbed-down reality shows that are ubiquitous. Here's hoping that the "cancellation" of these shows does not deter creative writers and producers (GLTBQ or otherwise) for bringing their highly imaginative and entertaining stories to the air.

Can't belive that stupid network ABC cancelled my favorite show, ELI STONE. It's so entertaining, has great actors and had great story lines. I have stayed loyal to ABC and now they can kiss my butt goodbye!!!! Keep all your reality shit show! What we need right now are good shows like Eli Stone to help us thru the crisis we're facing right now by letting us forget the realities we're facing at this time. SHAME ON YOU, ABC! YOU DIDN'T GIVE ELI STONE A CHANCE!!!!

As your "typical" 18-45 year old female viewer, I too, will not be likely to tune into another hour-long ABC show. I stayed faithful, loyal, and supportive--telling everyone I know about the wonderful, witty, and uplifting Eli Stone. I'm not sure what ABC is looking for--another "According to Jim" or some other insipid, unlikely and degrading show. How disappointing. ABC: tune me out. :o(

As a brazilian fan of Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone I’m running out of good united statians TV shows. Are these cancellations (we know this is the right word for what's happening) a sign of the growing mediocritization of north American culture? Or “just” a gay (witch) hunt from ABC? Beware, LGBTT fellows from the USA, something very strange is happening. Now I fear for Brothers & Sisters and Greek... so sad. I know I really can't do anything from Brazil, but you all can make your opinion be heard.

Pushing Daisies is my favorite show because of the smart, intelligent writing, great acting, brilliant set design and beautiful cinematograpy. But alas, there are not enough of us smart people to keep the ratings up. So I guess we'll see more vapid reality shows.

come on why get rid of Eli? take out a reality show like Brian said. Finally a show that shows more than sex or homosexual scenes. I thought ABC was a family network. wow don't need to watch ABC now!!
