ABC has been downright cruel to CIC in the most critical of all seasons - the first one. Though the series WON the golden globe for best female lead (YEAH! Go Geena Davis!!!), ABC timeslot shuffle the show twice AND did the whole, show it once and then it vanishes for three weeks, even though we showed a "Watch this new ep next week" preview crap. I knew by this treatment that the show was toast. That I would tune in to watch the advertised new ep only to find it wasn't airing that week was a sure sign that the series was not going to last. If someone who LOVES the show can't find it, it has no hope in Tartarus with the channel surfing crwod who determines what the rest of us get to watch. CIC was a brilliant show. I loved every minute of it. I've been a HUGE fan of Davis for a LONG time and I was SO EXCITED to see her take this role. I love Mac (Geena's character - the first female president). If such a politician actually exisited, I'd actually vote!! I thought the show was very well written, interesting, engaging and one of the smartest series created in some time. As a Canadian, it actually made me interested in the USA system of government and I've actually called up American friends to have some things explained to me, because I enjoyed the series that much. Sorry to see you go CIC. Guess you were too smart for your own good. :( Thankfully, the other two shows I picked up this year, "Ghost Whisperer" and my new fav series currently on the air, "Bones" were picked up for second seasons!! I was especially worried about "Bones" as it's a series on Fox (the dreaded show killer - has managed to kill EVERY show I've ever watched on that station within two years except X-Files), and Fox was doing the timeslot shuffle and the don't air the series for several weeks things (as they did with EVERY other series I love that they canned). Two out of three is good. But I still want my CIC back. :( Julie XT Ruffell Screenplay writer of AWAKENINGS AWAKENINGS OFFICIAL SITE: http://www.roachsrealm.com/awakenings XENA TORRES SITE: http://www.bitchofrome.com "Save me from the dreaded hopping bracelet." - Croft AWAKENINGS ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
