That seems to be the trend right now. Most networks are all banking on dramas and only ordering one or two comedies. Lots of comedies that were thought to be shoo-ins (ie. Jessica Simpson's sitcom) are not being picked up. I guess they're waiting the next "Friends" instead of actively searching for it and fail. Times are changin' people.
I am very disappointed. I was hoping to see CC every week starting September...*sigh* Here's hope to bigger and better things.

Before we jump the gun, let's wait until the network officially announces the schedule, which should be later today. Since the pilot was filmed just a couple of weeks ago, it is possible that they could be saving it for mid-season. All the other networks have been announcing that they are going to year-round programming instead of just the fall schedules in order to cut down on the re-runs.

I'm am sorry to hear that. UPN obviously doesn't have a clue what makes a good show. Oh well, UPN's loss is somebody else's gain. Plus, the fact that she got offered the lead in a show is terrific by anybody's standards IJMHO.
Besides, it frees CC up to be Wonder Woman and get recurring roles in The West Wing, 24 and Alias and or that DB/CC comedy on ABC that I am dreaming about. What? A girl can dream can't she?

On the other hand, I've predicted at least twice over the years that the parent company would have pulled the plug on them...and have been wrong. So what the hell do I know? Anyhoo, midseason replacement isn't out of the equation and even if it doesn't happen, she was able to get a little more publicity out of it. Is she a household name? No...but I think she's a bit further up the food chain in Hollywood which is a good thing. Quote:

From a strictly financial point of view, BTVS may yet go down as the show that killed a network. Which is amusing, given that Joss was also involved in "Titan A.E.", the movie that killed a studio.

Is there any hope for CC's sitcom being picked up?

Well, I had to change my avie as Play Nice (Cats & Dogs or whatever) is gone.
I guess my old one works, moving along. I wish c-c.com was up as I'd love to hear from Chrissy with some news, any news. I want my Charisma fix on tv, somewhere, someplace. |

It just isn't the same if you can't do it first. BWAH! Oh what the hell...it's still fun for all! But seriously. There were a lot of boneheaded decisions during those Dean Valentine years and very few successes (Thursday night wrestling)...but BTVS is definately the most visible of those failures. If only for that Valentine strutted around like a cock about how he "stole" BTVS out from under the nose of The WB and yet, look who's network ended up holding on by the very skin of it's teeth in the end and Dean without his job.

With that performance on The Division I have no doubt CC will show up in at least a guest starring capacity on a major network show next year. Last year alone she headlined a tv movie, made several appearances on a Darren Star comedy vehicle, did great drama on The Division, did everything in You're Welcome, and headlined her own sitcom pilot. She was able to show all her different strengths as an actress and I'm sure many have taken notice of her this past year.
Can't wait to see what she does next season. |

The thing I am thinking is that the Cats and Dogs pilot was last minute maybe they dont have a lot of ep ideas for later on yet. And I still hold out hope for another network or midseason.
But look at it this way. Casting people knew of Charisma as the chick from the vampire show. Now when someone wants a video tape of her doing comedy because they are thinking of casting her...they have the Cats and Dogs pilot tape. But now we have a new mission. To get the pilot (if for sure its not airing) on the net.
