If this rumor is true. I think it is crap! I NEVER watch TV and I have finally found a show that I truly LOVE!!! Why would they take this show away? I am pissed off!

2- 7 – Nov 26 2008 – Robbing Hood
2- 8 – Dec 3 2008 – Comfort Food
2- 9 – Dec 10 2008 – The Legend of Merle McQuoddy (final title, I think)

2-11 – airdate TBA – Water and Power
2-12 – airdate TBA – Window Dressed to Kill
2-13 – airdate TBA – Kerplunk

Last 3 episodes _may_ air in January, assuming Thanksgiving eve and the holidays don’t push the numbers so far into the daisies that somebody above McPherson yanks it before it goes kerplunk. It’s preempted the last two weeks of December.

As for “Dirty Sexy Money,” I’ll eat my underwear if ABC burns off all the episodes of that. And since they threw so many of them in the trash already, I won’t be eating my underwear.

While ABC may have been pushing PD on the greater public, it seems to me that his shows are deeply followed by a niche market, like cult classics. As such, his shows fit in the “long tail” part of the curve of shows . Things like Netflix, Amazon and the iPod/iPhone have changed our society from “hit” based to “niche” based. Are broadcast companies like ABC adapting fast enough?

I’ve given up cable completely. I watch shows EXCLUSIVELY on go.ABC, Hulu, or Netflix Online. On ABC, I only watch 2 shows – PD and Ugly Betty. I don’t want to be bombarded by commercials and programming I’m not interested in. I want to be entertained, delighted, and enthralled – a bill PD definitely fills.

There’s an avid PD group of knitters on Ravelry.com who are in LOVE with PD. Group members post frequently about the costumes, character hobbies (Emerson knitting was a hit), and on and on. Once we’ve been hooked on 1 of Bryan Fuller’s shows, we then seek out every other one available.

Thanks for the note to buy the BOX VIDEO of PD. I didn’t know that my purchase would help bring PD Direct to Video. There’s some hope!

As they say in the south…Good Bless the PD fans
