Watching Ellie Cancelled?

Will and Grace Fanatic · 03-21-2002, 06:05 PM

Did everyone here, I heard on the radio today that NBC cancelled Watching Ellie and that they will show 2 more episodes and that is it. I actually liked this show. It is so much better than that Leap of Faith show. Tell me what you think of its cancellation. I hope another network picks it up.

Here's what I read this morning about the show.

NBC is taking the show off the air after two more broadcasts, then shelving the show until next season.

Since Miss Dreyfuss only wants to do 15 episodes a season, NBC wants to save the remaining episodes for next season, thus giving them a full season of "Watching Ellie" next year.

But, considering the poor ratings the show is getting, it is unlikely "Ellie" will be returning next season.

Since it's premiere, "Ellie" has had a 40% loss of viewers. That's something NBC won't stand for.

I guess they should change the title to "Is Anybody Watching Ellie?"

I think the main reason why "Ellie" is in trouble is that it's up against "Andy Richter". "Andy Richter" has, of course, won the 8:30 slot for the past 2 weeks and probably will win again this week. Maybe if "Ellie" does well after the new episode of "Frasier" at 9:30 tonight, NBC might decide to keep the show next season. Let's just hope!

The ratings for "Ellie" have improved. We'll see how tonight's double dose of the show goes over.
Maybe the show need a stronger lead-in, like "Frasier."
