Jesus was his name.

The horse stud guy who Cricket is interested in is the same guy who played "Cooter" (Lol) the werewolf.

I'm thinking that both of these actors are probably more comfortable with their new character names.

Now it's gotten to be like a game -- every time I see one in the background I have to look and see if they got it right. I wonder if they keep moving the same flag and pole from set to set.

Much obliged.

The finale is Sunday, I'm not sure if it was picked up for another season, but hopefully it will be correct in the future.

In this week's Entertainment Weekly, this show was on a list of shows that are in trouble as far as hopes for renewal. But unless ABC has something else up their sleeve as a “replacement” for Desperate Housewives, they really should give GCB another season to find its footing. I was also disappointed that PanAm never really took off (pardon the pun)- I loved that show.

I was so bummed to see that it was officially cancelled. Not only this, but a whole slew of other shows like House, Alcatraz and the Secret Circle... what really shocks me is the programs that made the cut. Whitney? Don't trust the B in Apt 23? 2 Broke Girls? (sorry to any of you folks that enjoy these shows, but I find them weak)

At least I have new seasons of "The Glades," "White Collar" and "Franklin and Bash" to look forward to.

I do watch all of those shows (I'm a sucker for female-centric sitcoms, what can I say?), but I’m not offended. I understand your point. The only thing I can think of is that GCB does have a pretty large cast, and more sets (homes, offices, the church, Cricket’s private plane!), so the budget must have been huge compared to any of the comedies. I guess it’s a cost-benefit thing. A show that’s cheaper to produce can “afford” to skate by on lower ratings for a little longer. But even then, sitcoms don’t get a free pass. Remember Better with You? Perfect Couples?

I had to look those up on IMDb, and I still don't remember ever hearing of either of them.

This occurred to me as well. The wardrobe and accessory expenses must have been fairly steep, too.
