I really like the show..

FIGURES!!
This is a don't-miss show for me. Incredible cast and great characters.
DAMN YOU ABC! You did the same thing a few years back with Invasion.
NBC did it last year with Journeyman.
Well, at least it will be wrapped up but it will be missed!
Watch it win a bunch of Emmys after it gets canceled. Serves 'em right.

This show had a good concept.......
You would think they would have let it go for another season to see if it would find its audience.

Last night's episode had the show hitting a good stride too.

i'm glad that there will be an ending and it's not going to be left hanging.

Yeah, it looked like they were going to toy with the idea of leaving Sam in the '70s and toning down the sci-fi stuff. There's so much they could do as a period piece without the future intruding too much beyond Sam being from 2008 originally...like Sam betting on the fight with Ray knowing what the outcome would be.
ABC should let this one run another season. Of course, cancelling LOM leaves room on the schedule for bonus episodes of Dancing with the Stars.(SARCASM.)

I agree. Like when the fire chief showed Sam the pieces of the bomb and Sam says "Looks like alarm clock parts. That's so old school". (or something along those lines). I enjoyed last night's episode. I think they proved it could work. I hate it when they don't give some shows the chance they deserve.

The Gene Hunt sequel series ASHES TO ASHES starts this Saturday night on BBC America.

Thanks for the update I will try to burn it rather tahn wait for it

ABC and most other networks seems to cancel good shows and keep on a lot of crap instead

Invasion, surface, jericho, the list goesw on. All were good shows that all had the networks kill them before their time (though wpix is at least trying to renew Jericho)

Sonofa....! How come EVERY freakin' time I get interested in one of these serialized dramas, they get yanked?! 2nd time this year ABC has done this to me (Pushing Daisies)...They need to give these kind of shows a chance because once Lost is gone after next year, they're going to have a big gapping hole to fill.

I was a big fan of Pushing Daisies as well, but there are rumours that it might return as a comic book series with stories by the writer's of the TV show.

Another Bryan Fuller series, Dead Like Me, has just returned as Direct to DVD Movie, so there is always a chance of PD coming back!

After the cancellation of Pushing Daisies, I ran out and picked up Wonder Falls (which seemed to be loosely set in the same universe, and had Lee Pace as a supporting player).

Wow, did not see the end of tonight's episode coming, at all.

[The Toyroom]

Only two episodes left! I already miss this show and it's not even gone yet!

[Marvelmania]

Found this neat auction over the past weekend. Planned to put in a bid but forgot all about it until tonight. I'm going to miss this show a lot!

Tonight's episode was INSANE! I LOVED it. I can't believe they can cancel this show! It just keeps getting better and better.
The only part I didn't like was when he was talking to himself as a child. It was a little weird.
