Who do I email?

Okay, I know I'm years late, but I just "found" this show - so stylized, atmospheric, wonderful (although, the actress who plays "Chuck" is not great, and Ned can be so sensitive as to warrant a "C'mon, Ned - man up!"), but ... Swoosie Kurt and Kristin Chenoweth and Chi McBride and all that color and stuff and witty snappy dialogue! And, NARRATED BY JIM DALE who can do no wrong. Sometimes shows should stay on TV for the sake of the art and this is most definitely one of those. So ... I want to know what idiot or idiots are responsible for the cancellation and where I can email them. WHY is it always the quality shows that don't make it? Is the viewing public really so ... uh ... well, stupid as to prefer reality TV to this?

This show was really a victim of it's times :/ It got stuck in the middle of the writers' strike and got tossed around so much that it was hard to really follow... A non-constant schedule leaves viewers behind and ultimately drops the show's ratings. Essentially no one was watching it. Which is true. It was pulling up a rather low following. It was very unfortunate :(

-Endings, as it is known, are where we begin.

I wonder if that's what happened to Caprica? I just watched the one and only season on DVD and it was soooooo good ... sigh ...

Oh no! Ned is my favorite character because he is so sensitive and Anna Friel seems perfect to be Chuck :(

I'm just cynical enough to believe the answer to this is "yes". The really good stuff rarely lasts--and on the rare occasion it does it ends up getting dumbed down over time.
