I've seen a couple times, and I like it well enough.

Yet, Fastlane has hot chicks in it.

Besides, there are better things to do friday nights than watch TV

I don't have a life, though. Marriage will do that to you. Enjoy your freedom, my son, for your days are numbered.

**Japher** · May 9, 2003, 10:26

I know, and its a small number... Wife already talkin.:eeek:

**asleepathewheel** · May 9, 2003, 10:54

If it wasn't on Friday night, I would probably watch it. I 've liked the episodes I've seen, but, on friday, no.

**Harry Seldon** · May 9, 2003, 11:05

If it gets picked up they'll probably move it to Thursday nights. It'd be worth a few seconds of your time to shoot off an email on the chance they'll do it.

I thought Firefly was a better show... and that didn't last long. While the ratings were better for John Doe, they aren't high enough to keep it on the air. While I wish you luck in your efforts, it isn't coming back.

Damn! I really like John Doe, even though I didn't like the psychic crap they were doing the last few episodes.

I really wanted to see Doe deal with the revelation from the season finale.

PS Why do you think that it won't be coming back if Fastlane (Good show, IMO) is? Doe has got to be less expensive to produce than Fastlane by the shear fact that most of the cars on thier show actually make it to the next one.

Fox made an announcement saying that only one of the two shows is coming back. The unofficial inside track says that since Fastlane is flashy, hip, and filled with half-naked chicks it will get picked up even though it's ratings s*ck.

Ming: I thought Firefly was good when it didn't get too campy or irreverant. I wish it would have made it, too. The main story line was solid and I think if they would have focused on it more it would have done better. You know British Sci Fi picked it up and starts running it this month? I keep trying to find it on my antenna but I can't seem to pick it up...

Yeah... Firefly go a bit campy at times, but it was part of the spirit of the show. The torture bit they did was some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen on TV. I'll miss it.

Fastlane is going to win the battle hands down. It had better overall ratings, and did better against the young male target. While John Doe was better written, produced, and was just BETTER... count on Fastline being the winner in this one... typical FOX.

They should cancel John Doe and bring back Pretender. Same show basically.

**Ming** · May 9, 2003, 15:08

Pretender did well in the ratings... and can still be seen in syndication on your local stations. It MADE good money.

John Doe can't say the same... Friday night is the death of many shows...

**Harry Seldon** · May 9, 2003, 15:18

Actually, JD pulled in .5 to one mil more the Fastlane each week in total viewers, although it was a little closer in the 18-45.

Friday was a good launching point for X-files.
