I don't watch much regular TV and most of the series I watch I just TIVO then eventually watch them when I get a chance... Kevin Hill is one of those... it's not GREAT TV, but it's funny, some interesting cases, interesting cast situations, cute baby girl, etc...

I just found out that the day after the season finale aired the producers found out the show was cancelled because UPN is reinventing itself in to a more female oriented channel...

So here's to you UPN, you can take the next America's Top Model BS and shove it up your a$$.

Its first mistake was being on UPN.

You should go right down to the UPN offices and protest.


These guys will keep you company.

So they cancel a show with Taye Diggs as the star? Morons. :lol

Sorry, but their new female-oriented focus kept Veronica Mars on television, so I really can't shed a tear for Kevin Hill.

I would like to take this chance to thank UPN for cancelling Kevin Hill.

It's actually pretty messed up that Veronica Mars which was a ratings disaster gets picked up while KH (which had better ratings) gets canned.. It's what's called WB logic. They'll never recover for canning Angel. Bastards.

OMG thank you I had almost FORGOTTEN about the damn canning of Angel... thanks for bringing those painful memories back to the top you %$#%*$#()%*$#!!!!!

<sigh> That last episode was cool though..... I can't believe that show couldn't find a home elsewhere... did Whedon even TRY to shop it around?

Damn, I liked that red head on Kevin Hill. Plus his actress girlfriend was hot. he head lawyer was good looking too. Ah well.

I think he tried, I just don't think anyone would bite. UPN paid so much for Buffy that they weren't willing to pay out alot again. You want to know what's even more f'd up? Sky (in the UK) was so deperate to get Angel back on their schedule that they said they'd pay for half of its production cost if a company in the US would pick it up.

Christina Hendricks (the redhead from Kevin Hill) was definetly hot.

The reality was that Kevin Hill was lumped into an "Urban" viewership, no matter who actually watched it, while Veronica Mars had a cult following that will fit better into a female viewership. While both were generally critical successes, creatively Veronica Mars got a lot of praise from critics and that, combined with its general demographics, allowed it to survive.

YES My Wife and Kids has been cancelled!

If one good has to go to get rid of one bad... I'll take it!

 

[vangace]

are u shitting me, they cancel this show and leave all that other crap there.

Kevin Hill got canned?! You're kidding right?! It was the ONLY show on UPN worth watching. I don't watch much TV, but this was something I could sit down and watch with my fiancee and tolerate. I loved the characters and the stories. And more importantly the baby was a sweetie. I just got into this show about a month back. I don't understand how a good decent show like this gets the ax but drivel like Girlfiends, America's Next Top Model, and alot of the cookie cutter sitcom crap stays on the air. Man this sucks!!

Please tell me that this is not true!! I didn't see this coming at all, weren't the critics crazy over this show? Guess it doesn't matter if enough people don't tune in. TV One should jump all over this and put it on thier network!
