"GCB: Good Christian B******"

[TPARose]

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.
