I just read that CBS cancled Joan today. I was somewhat surprised. I knew that the ratings weren't there, but it had a fairly loyal fan base and it was the type of show that networks liked to point to and let people know they are making. I was surprised that I liked the show. I'm not a fan of shows like Touched by An Angel and Highway to Heaven. But I thought Joan was very good. It never got too preachy. I'm sorry to see Joan go, I wish CBS had given it another chance. The first year Joan was a surprise hit, the second year it dropped in the ratings. You would have thought CBS might have tried it at least one more year, to see if it could recapture those first year numbers.

Here I thought Fox (damn Rupert Murdoch) was the only network that cancelled shows like that. It is so frustrating to get involved, make a connection, then have it yanked away. Perhaps that is why I watch so little television: separation anxiety...
