What the NBC Representative Said[edit]

When did an NBC representative say that this show wasn't canceled? He or she must have been lying. --Cbsteffen (talk) 01:20, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Show got cancelled. Looks like they weren't lying. Majinsnake (talk) 05:23, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cancelled[edit]

This show is dead, thankfully. Not only was it as funny as a six foot hole in the ground, but Fox is part of The Good Wife. Sean Saves the World was funnier (but that's not saying much) and that was cancelled months ago. Quis separabit? 03:37, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute resolution[edit]

Before officially seeking a third opinion I am raising the matter here that is in dispute and has been mentioned in the edit summaries between myself and User:Me5000. I'll start the thread.

I see no reason why sourced text is being reverted. WP:COMMONSENSE should be considered as well. I do not believe my text amounts to synthesis and am happy to discuss tbe matter here in good faith. Quis separabit? 20:27, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are using sources which simply state that the actor(s) are going to star on other shows and using that in order to say that the show is cancelled or that the actors have moved on from the show when neither of these has been stated in those sources. A rep for NBC has stated the show is not cancelled and this been confirmed by the creator Sam Laybourne, Executive producer Alex Reid and Michael J Fox. Until reliable sources say otherwise the article should not say that the show is cancelled. Me5000 (talk) 22:07, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok in the spirit of AGF I deleted my version; however I would point out that of the reflinks you cite, one is from February 5, another from February 6, and the most recent is dated March 13. I still think the show is cancelled, but we'll wait and see when they finally acknowledge it. Quis separabit? 12:17, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

They finally did!! Don't get me wrong, a lot of good shows (Carpoolers, for instance) get cancelled too quickly. This was not one of them. It was pretentious and unfunny. Quis separabit? 18:53, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome. I'm glad to see you take such joy in shows being cancelled. Have nice day. Me5000 (talk) 20:42, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
