So gutted this show got cancelled.

I seriously think it's one of the better, if not one of the best shows, the U.S. has ever aired. It's no 'Spooks/MI-5', though. ;-)

Sadly it won't help at all, they pay either nothing or next to nothing to get shows like these from the US...so no chance on it making a difference.

:(

Exactly, jasir_arafat.

Reality television is a perfect set up for television executives. It costs next to nothing to produce - more often than not, it simply consists of a few crew members placing a camera on a group of people and leaving them to their own devices - and the "performers"/contestants/whatever are usually paid nothing, or very little at most.

This concept is golden, as after the producers have spent next to nothing making the show, they are almost always successful. Advertisers pay money to the network for commercials and if the show is controversial enough, the media hops onboard to provide free publicity, increasing the number of viewers and the possible ad revenue.

On the other hand, shows such as Better Off Ted, Pushing Daisies, etc, cost millions to produce, and for some reason, do not always attract the number of viewers desired.

Television executives and networks in the United States have always been more militant than in the UK. Over here, shows are usually given at least one complete series to prove themselves in the ratings, rather than being dropped after two or three episodes if they fare poorly.

Maturity. The very staple of the IMDb message boards.
