Update: 14th March Here is an update from Jaime King
Thanks again to Jovan for this update from one of the Actors.
Folks wondering why #HartOfDixie got canned? Simple numbers game folks. Ratings still matter and dictate wins and losses. You have to WATCH.
— Scott Porter (@ScottPorter) March 13, 2015Thanks to Jovan for the heads up.
No one out there loves #HOD more than me. I would have gone 17 years! But I assure you, we prepared for this....(1/2)
— leila gerstein (@leilargerstein) March 6, 2015...And the finale will be tremendously satisfying to all. (2/2)
— leila gerstein (@leilargerstein) March 6, 2015The final three episodes of #HartofDixie begin tonight. Buckle up, I think you will enjoy the ride. Xo

And yet Reign and BATB live on... Amazing.
ReplyDeleteDon't make me think about it...........
ReplyDeleteMy heart is breaking, but I think we all saw it coming!
ReplyDeleteSurprised she was allowed to tweet it.
I really hope that last three will be amazing.
Aww :(
ReplyDeleteI guess it was expected. It's on the lower end but it has enough episodes to sell into syndication so it survived long enough.
Hopefully iZombie can earn a renewal.
... The 100.
ReplyDeleteActually its 2 episodes left.She posted this when 8th episode was airing.
ReplyDeleteRIP Hart of Dixie, first of all.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, I saw the first two episodes in advance of iZombie and it was quite entertaining. Good for CW putting this after The Flash.
I was so sad when I found this on twitter.RIP HOD.
ReplyDeleteYep same here. I loved the first 2 episodes and I'm really looking forward to the rest. Hopefully the combination with The Flash works and it gets renewed. I'm already hooked.
ReplyDeleteHow no one noticed those tweets earlier? o.O
ReplyDeleteI still didn't had a chance to watch 8th., so I thought she was right.
I saw this today and shared with Spoilertv.
ReplyDeleteI knew this was coming, but I think the show could've had one more season.
ReplyDeleteWhy? It's doing just as good or better than Beauty and the Beast and Reign on a FRIDAY. Weekday, it would probably close in on The 100, Jane the Virgin, and The Originals.
ReplyDeleteI kind of wanted a renewal just in spite of the Cancellation Bear.
Expected, but still sad. I loved every single episode of the show since Season 2.
ReplyDeleteI am not going to say i am disappointing like all others do, the show got 4 amazing seasons and it is time to say goodbye and since the ending should be satisfying so that is amazing.
Honestly I wouldn't put this on any other show. Last season HoD hit many 0,3 and some 0,2 and still got renewed.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised it is doing this well on Fridays this season.
Now C Bear will be like I told you so.Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI don't really see The 100 in the same ratings tier, CW is kind of like:
ReplyDelete1. The Flash / Arrow
2. Supernatural / Vampire Diaries
3. Originals / The 100 / Jane The Virgin
4. Hart of Dixie / Reign / BATB
I would prefer if they somehow announced that it is officially ending, it sounds better than CANCELLED
ReplyDeleteAgreed.I sen the scoop with the title Hart of Dixie Ending,not cancelled.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I always tend to disagree with a good handful of it's predictions.
ReplyDeleteHart Of Dixie had to deal with Rachel Bilson's pregnancy and the fact that it likely would have never made its money back with syndication. Considering those two things, it's not surprising CW decided to keep other series going.
ReplyDeleteI feel all shows that are eligible for a syndication deal or already have one end, not get cancelled.
ReplyDeleteI assume Rachel Bilson wanted out since she's a mother now. The way some of her cast members have spoken about her in magazines, it sounds like she really wanted to be a mother and intends to be really hands. If she kept filming it would interrupt that.
ReplyDeleteAwww goodbye hod ive enjoyed the 4 years i got with ya u will be missed
ReplyDeleteDo not understand, at all, why the CW didn't announce it right away as a final season. They surely couldn't have expected better ratings than the ones the got. They deserved an officially announced final series based on its performance this season, but well. It's sad to see it go, I like the type of show it was and I love Rachel Bilson.
ReplyDeleteI believe its because it wasn't announced pre-season. When they announce that a show is ending, then it's really ending. But the way the CW has made it sound, it still had a (small) chance at renewal. So it sounds more like they decided to cancel it rather then end it.
ReplyDeleteI wanted the show renewed because I enjoy it for the light show it is but I also wanted it to spite the freaking annoying Cancellation Bear.
ReplyDeleteSad sad sad, but we saw it coming. RIP.
ReplyDeleteHoD got .5 on Fridays, did they really expected higher than that? I think HoD really did well there, even if it did .4s most of the times.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it could have been a really good summer performer
They say all good things must come to an end
ReplyDeleteYes, that is my point. Like, if they were going to renew it for a 4th season either:
ReplyDelete1) Announce it as final and assume that whatever ratings it pulls are irrelevant and it is done, even reaping eventual benefits from a final season promotion or
2) See how it goes and renew it if it does well. How the ratings it has gotten on Friday aren't considered "well" is beyond me.
HoD did surprisingly well on Fridays this season. I don't understand why The CW didn't go with a summer trial, it has done consistently well for its timeslot
ReplyDeleteEspecially because everything pointed towards a final season.
ReplyDeleteThe creators will assure a closure, but CW should have announced it to viewers since it looked pretty obvious.
It is especially puzzling as it comes from a network that has a history of announcing final seasons and they actually went out of their way to deny it here. Which would suggest they were actually looking for the numbers it pulled. But it seems completely unrealistic that they could have expected better numbers than the ones it actually got, so I am at a loss.
ReplyDelete10 weeks placing the same headline.
ReplyDeleteGood to know izombie only starts next week. He has no headlines but he won't give anything to STV.
Maybe Rachel Bilson did not want to continue and they were still hoping she could change her mind?
ReplyDeleteI assume it might be due to Rachel Bilson. She's a mother now and she seems to want to be a hands on mother. It'd be unfair to force her (due to contracts) to come back to work through that.
ReplyDeleteI assume they were in negotiations for a while and couldn't come to an agreement.
Even for what wouldn't be a full season? Maybe, but it looks strange to me
ReplyDeleteIt was an amazing 4 year ride, Hart of Dixie. You will be missed! ♥
ReplyDeleteSo this makes me wonder now. What is the CW going to put on Fridays in the 2015-2016 season? I'd always assumed that they would renew HOD and use that as cheap filler on Fridays. It's a good enough Friday performer for them plus pushing it to 88 or higher can't hurt.
ReplyDeleteReign perhaps? Or more reality stuff?
Im guessing Reign or CW is hoping The Messengers will succeed on Friday.
ReplyDeleteReign or CW is hoping Messengers will succeed.
ReplyDeleteI saw this when she tweeted it, but I still thought maybe she was just referring to the fact that it hadn't been renewed yet and was being a negative nancy.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't care about the show anyway. You still can work if you have a baby. Rachel bilson messed up hart of dixie show by leaving the show when they need her to do the show. Jaime king work after she had her first child and took her child to work. Rachel just didn't want to work on anything and became a lazy mom . Wanting somebody to take care are her and her baby. So saying that was stupid. When there are working moms out there who put their child in daycare and make it work. But she can go on a road in jan.
ReplyDeleteGlad you did :)
ReplyDeleteStrange that no one else seems to have picked up on it either lol
1st tweet posted here sadly aludes to cancellation completely.
ReplyDeleteAlso she retweed this https://twitter.com/lifeissweeting/status/575847313203200001
ReplyDeleteNo problem. :D
ReplyDeleteYour Rachel Bilson obsession is creepy.
ReplyDeleteYou are totally wrong. Scott Porter said in an interview she wantes some months off before coming back to work.
ReplyDeleteShe wanted to continue according Scott's interview in October. Jaime King is also a mother and she is expecting her second child. You can be a mother and work.
ReplyDeleteI agree it's ominous, I just...CW even announced 90210 as ending while in the midst of it's fifth season...I can't understand why they'd be so coy if this were true.
ReplyDeleteAww. I'm not surprised, but still upset by the news.
ReplyDeletewell it was expected.
ReplyDeleteOne week later, Spoiler TV notices her tweets LOL.
ReplyDeleteCan we say now that Pedowitz totally trolled fans with his "we'll see the ratings"? Why did he give hope to the fans? They should have announced it was the finale season. And worse, The CW can't even announce it now. They let the creator do the dirty work.
It would have deserved to become a summer show considering the ratings and the crap they renewed.
JTV is the only show left without vampires, superheroes or monsters, that's crazy.
I saw this today on twitter and then shared with STV,I was shocked this wasnt posted earlier.
ReplyDeleteNoooo. Somebody call 911 because I think my heart just stoped beating.
ReplyDeleteNot obsessed about Rachel bilson just telling the truth. She didn't tell people she was pregnant and showed up to filming late in her pregnancy to do it. And she did messed the show by getting pregnant and taking other people parts. She never promoted the show like she suppose to have done. Jaime king was the face are hart of dixie. Rachel never went anywhere to show her face until she went Barbados on a supposedly vacation. Then you didn't see her doing anything else. Hart of dixie was given to her by her friend husband. People still do work when they have a child. What makes Rachel so special not to work . She didn't even go winter tour to show her face but she can go on a road trip for no reason but she can't work? Other people have had their babies and we have seen them and they back to work. Rachel always want somebody to give her something all anymore the time. What she shame to have a baby now? All that talk and she won't mention her baby at all or be seen with it. Lazy mom indeed. Hayden mom and dad work to take care him and brother and sisters. So why Rachel can't work. She has poor work ethics at what she does. But she can work hard to get a baby. Hart of dixie should have been cancelled last season. The way Rachel did the show following a man. But she can't do hart of dixie right? Could have gotten someone else to do it. The way they did the show and her not wanting to do it when hayden was around. Not she don't have nothing a baby.
ReplyDeleteMore "nonsense"
ReplyDeleteSad to see the show cancelled, but glad that it will have a finale with conclusion, there's nothing worse than a show ending with "to be continued..."
ReplyDeleteOk, but what changed? I saw it before.
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked it lasted as long as it did. Never understood the appeal. But condolences to fans all the same.
ReplyDeleteMy apologizes, you're right, you are NOT OBSESSED AT ALL #creepy
ReplyDeleteBecause they do better internationally are CzbS ( though that dosent matter),are cheap international co -productions-which means they get lower international fees,a third production company paying for production ect) and Czw wants to get them to short syndication & have proper ending while HoD will have enough episodes for short syndication & a proper ending
ReplyDeleteBecause it has enough episodes for syndication & will have a proper ending-that's what CW cares about.Plus,just cause its ratings are same as Reigns dosent mean 0.4-0.5 are exactly good ratings.
ReplyDeleteI'm really sad even though I expected this
ReplyDeleteWhats that got to do with HOD being cancelled? These descions are dictated by money, Reign needs more episodes for the CW to get any kind of return on their investment. Beauty appears to have some kind of deal in place that benefits the CW and other parties. HOD I would guess has enough episodes and an ending that means all parties are going to get the return from their investment. CW DID NOT CANCEL HOD BECAUSE OF ANY OTHER SHOW.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about Hart of Dixie but Vampire Diaries has run out of plot-lines and needs to end
ReplyDeletevDseventh season next season will Likley be its lsst.But you know shows end because of money reasons only right,not because of creative/qypuslity reasons?
ReplyDeleteExcept it does actually cost money to make a show and they clearly have enough episodes to be able to make a decent return on their investment. I doubt the ratings compared to those other low rated shows had much to do with it.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a good decition, I'm glad but not surprised that they had an ending planned.
ReplyDeleteJudgmental much?
ReplyDeleteRachel Bislon wanting to work or not after having her child is her own business and she certainly shouldnt be subject to fan scrutiny just because said fans dont want the show to end.
Also JK is pregnant with her second child and might have decided she wanted out too. I doubt this was a descion any of them just took lightly.
Incredibly immature reaction and unfair judging of the actress.
No! Disappointed. They were finally getting back on track with interesting storylines. Could have been a fun season next year.
ReplyDeleteYeah but the difference is at one time 90210 was a hit for CW,HoD never was so they never cared about.It barely got promoted but the most promotion in season one but that was very little.Dixie kept getting renewed in luck of being steady,cheap & other shows doing as bad or worse.
ReplyDeletePretty much agree. Reign will go for as long as it takes for all parties involved to be satisfied that they are getting a decent return on their investment.
ReplyDeletePeople get upset when shows with really bad ratings get renewed & ones with better ratings get cancelled
ReplyDeleteHOD ratings are better than Reign's. And HOD airs on Friday with no lead in.
ReplyDeleteand views online.
ReplyDeleteThat's true.But as I & Paradise have said HoD is coming to a natural end and has enough episodes for syndication & a proper ending for Czw to get a return on the investment.Money,not just ratings, are the descion makers on CW shows if they live or die.Actually Reign has three 0.5 this season HoD two so far
ReplyDeleteIt was very obvious..besides, they were already preparing S4 as the last...
ReplyDeletethat's true too
ReplyDeleteThanks for four season HoD,CW,Rachel
ReplyDeleteReign as three 0.5 after two season, HOD two for its 4th season and after awful ratings last year (go from 0.2 to 0.5 means something)
ReplyDeleteBut the announced ends we're for shows that were at one time hits for the network-SMV,OTH,GG,90210.Dixie was never a hit,just a mediocre rated performer.
ReplyDeleteOne Tree Hill was prepared every year. Seasons 4, 6 and 8 finales can be series finales, that doesn't mean anything.
ReplyDeleteTrue but as I said ,HoD has enough episodes to return Czws investment on it,Reign & BatB don't yet.Plus ,CW seems to support Reign,BatB more with promotion,saying favorable things ect then it ever did HoD.
ReplyDeleteBut even the 90210 actors stated they thought they would get a 6th short season despite the falling ratings, but didn't, and were unceremoniously canceled in-season. If they could do that to a former flagship hit, then why not a show they never cared for? Why be coy about the fate of a show you have no investment in?
ReplyDeleteBecause HoD was never a hit,90210 so they announced a final season halfway through.Yes the actors expected another season -as did the writer-but things don't always work out as planned.I firmly believe that if 90210 hadn't totally crashed to 0.2-0.3 in season five,they would ve gotten another season but they already had enough episodes for syndication-so CW would get a return in its investment with it & it didn't need another season for syndication.Plus,Prpedoeitz has been changing CW to a genre Neteork while saying" I don't want to all genre"
ReplyDeleteSad for the fans :(
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm saying! 90210 was a Hit Show! Hart of Dixie was not, nor has it ever been, so what is the purpose of remaining vague about the fate of a show you clearly intended on dragging to just syndication numbers.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't make any sense. The 100 has the same ratings on a wednesday.
ReplyDeleteNikita?
ReplyDeleteI'm sad for the fans of this show. We all know the pain of a cancelled favorite. There are some great actors here that I hope to see find new shows, ASAP.
ReplyDeleteIt did well in season one,was a big internationally seller & Oedowitz admitted to being a fan of it ,VD,SPN
ReplyDeleteI don't know.They shouldve announced it as the final season, idk why he didn't.Ithought at fieprst he'd see how it ,IZombie,Messengers did then decide but with these tweets idk.Maybe has more respect for shows that were hits to announce final season,
ReplyDeleteI dont watch the show but i feel they should at least give the show one mroe season for a propper goodbye. It was a surprised that the show does so well on fridays going between .4 and .5.
ReplyDeleteHOD case is different. Some people of the cast and writers have said before that this could very much be the last season. So, they already have a planned series finale. The show's fate was already up in the air, the after Rachel Bilson's pregnancy things got more complicated...but i think it's time..S1 and S2 were good, but the show was completely lost in S3
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is in need of a laugh, check out TVBTN's analysis of this news.
ReplyDeleteIt's been written as a series finale
ReplyDeleteYou are kidding, right? I don't watch the show but Reign has worse ratings and got renewed?!
ReplyDeleteIt's not just about ratings-it's about when a show reaches the point the network/studio can get a return on thier investment-HoD is at the point with enough episodes for syndication'Reign not.Plus,with the short season,low ratings,this season only for syndication purposes ,people expected it to be last.Now days two full seasons on CW means a third & Likley fourth.Also,CW cares about vetran shows having proper endings SNF HoDs finale was written as a series finale but Reign won't have a proper ending.HoDs gotten the same 0.4/0.5 this season as Reign btw so if you say Reign should be cancelled based on ratings this season,then so should HoD.Plus,CW is high on Reign regardless of its ratings,
ReplyDeletehttp://media1.giphy.com/media/CMRWlA55AYLpS/giphy.gif
ReplyDeleteYou should read OTH actors' interviews, that's exactly the same thing. And I agree about season 3, the story was crap and it killed the ratings.
ReplyDeleteugh CW:
ReplyDeleteWell if s3 will suck they can always unrenew... I hope they won't thou I like BATB
ReplyDeleteWelll that sucks but oh well it happens a lot of other good shows have been renewed like Supernatural Beauty and the beast both good shows. At least Wade and Zoe have a happy ending
ReplyDeleteOnly a couple weeks.Hozd also hit a 0.3 which Tge 100 bpnever did plus The 100 has three 0.6s this season HoD none and HoD only three 0.5s while The 100 got mainly 0.5s.Also as I told others,HoD is at the point of syndication,The 100 isn't.CW can now recoup thier investment / thier loses with zhoD but can't yet with Rthe 100.Also,HoD is out if place on a genre Neteork-except Jane.
ReplyDeleteThey won't.If BatB can be renewed hitting 0.20.3 & being pulled off the schedule,Reign & Batzb will survive,especially since if CW were to unrewarding in s3,they wouldn't be able to recoup thier investment & losses on the shows,
ReplyDeleteHow is TO in the same range as Jane/100?
ReplyDeleteTO is constantly getting numbers above 0.5s while 100/JtV are toying with 0.3s and 0.4s
Neither 100/Jtv have hit a 0.3, 100 only hit a 0.4 once, airing out of a repeat. JtV has grown from TO previously, so clearly they are playing in the same ballpark.
ReplyDeleteJane /The are NaoT toying eith 0.3-9.4.Jane has gotten several 0.5s and four 0.6s,The 100 one 0.4,thre z0.6/ and rest 0.5sso they're all in the 0.5-9.6 range typically.The 100 has gotten only one 0.4 & no 0.3s and the one 0.4 hardly makes it a teent( this season at least)& Jane hadn't gotten a 0.3 either or a 9.4 in a while but has actually been in demo & I think Viewrs too,
ReplyDeleteTO:
ReplyDelete0.7 - (6/15)
0.6 - (6/15)
0.5 - (3/15)
average - 0.62
JtV
0.6 - (4/15)

The 100
0.6 - (3/16)
0.5 - (12/16)
0.4 - (1/16)
average - 0.51
about a tenth difference.
so certainly not the same playhouse. 100/JtV are pretty even while outmatched by TO

I thought this was already the final season.
ReplyDeletePeople expected it to be but Czw didn't made it official or public that it was.In fact,several different times he went outvof his way to say " I'm not saying this is the end."
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the show but I feel sorry for the fans. I hate when show runners do that. Don't give people false hope. I hope you get a proper ending.
ReplyDeleteI meant Mark Pedoeitz,head of CW said those things not the showrunner but he shouldn't ve given fans hope I agree
ReplyDeleteTrue The 100 is far away from syndication. HoD is only 0.1 away from The 100 on Friday (!!!!). Maybe they just wanted to save the money so they cancelled it.
ReplyDeleteYeah.But still ratings are what people see & know( thers so much other factors the public outside of CW dosent see) so that's what we go on.I mean I like BatB but I'm a bit upset it got renewed with lower ratings than HoD yet HoD in one partvif me .But the other part of me knows & understands the non ratings reason Batzb was renewed & HoD cancelled though.
ReplyDeleteIt was thsnkfully written to be a good series finale or season finale .Now it's series finale.
ReplyDeleteoh ok. Glad.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good thing. I'm happy for you.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense. They love giving people hop so they wouldn't stop watching.
ReplyDeleteYeah but still, they shouldn't lie.Hozd was down to only the. Die hard fans anyway that would be there til the end so why not admits its the last season? A few people might've come back since Zade are together again.
ReplyDeletePeople are really mad on twitter about Hart of Dixie getting cancelled,I didnt know it had so much fans.
ReplyDeleteScott Porter Confirmed it.
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/ScottPorter/status/576447384663695360
RIP HOD.That ll convince TVBTN.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had an answer but who knows what these think.
ReplyDeleteI'll miss it-it was a nice change of pace from all thier all genre shows,now all they have is Jane,
ReplyDeleteConfirmed by everyone but CW network-are you kidding me?!?
ReplyDeleteThe tweets are from March 6th, says alot
ReplyDeleteLook at the first one.
ReplyDeleteCW won't Likley confirm it til May upfronts though
ReplyDeleteThe entire situation just sucks,that's all!
ReplyDeleteI thought I would have time to catch up, guess not, only watched first episode; then had put it on hold.
ReplyDeleteYou should catch up anyway,it'll have a pier finale/ending & is a good show
ReplyDeleteSad but expected. I'm just glad that the final season has been much more enjoyable to watch than the previous two combined. Anyway, I'm cool with this but for those who aren't, Lavon shares your pain:
ReplyDeletehttp://38.media.tumblr.com/5cf4f89500f48e6662a8f78878a1e7cd/tumblr_mpp0a4KiRV1r066hlo2_r1_250.gif
Did it happen already?
ReplyDeleteYea When I'm stuck on my what to watch next from my list of stuff I have to watch phase maybe I will consider going thru HOD first.
No March 27 will be the series finale,Mupy above post was suppossed to say proper finale not pier,
ReplyDeleteI wonder why the show changed direction in s2 on of having Zoe be a dr and practice medicine & hskf the time it's Brick being the dr.The medical oricedrsul episode would sell better into syndication.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's Friday the 13th. So sad.
ReplyDeletekcool
ReplyDeleteTonight they're running a season four episode then the last two episodes will air March 20& 27
ReplyDeleteThanks to CBS producing
ReplyDeleteThose tweets don't prove a darn thing.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? It's cancelled.All that's left is for CW to make it official by confirming.You think people that work on the actual show don't know when it's cancelled & they're out of a job?
ReplyDeleteCW is a joint venture so it dosent matter who owns/produces/distributes. Cause botch studios WB & CBS share the profits on all the shows
ReplyDeleteUsually I ignore your incoherent rants but since I'm sad about the confirmation that the show is ending and have had enough of your bashing Rachel Bilson and the show, I've decided to make an exception. First, why do you think she didn't tell people she was pregnant? Because she didn't send you a personal email? Because she didn't tweet about it? She is under NO obligation to announce to "fans" (which you clearly are not) that kind of information. Just because she's an actress and a celebrity does not somehow entitle you to that kind of personal information about her life. If Jamie King or any other celebrity wants to send out a tweet or announce it live of E or whatever else, that's their business and they are welcome to do it but it certainly doesn't mean everyone has to do that. Maybe she's a more private person? Maybe she knew the photographers would start following her more after people knew (which absolutely happened by the way!)? Whatever the reason she doesn't owe you any explanation. I can assure you, people that "needed" to know were made aware at an appropriate time. People at the show, and probably higher ups at the CW, knew before US announced it to the world.
ReplyDeleteSecond, why do you insist she showed up late for filming? That is simply NOT true. They started filming this season earlier then usual because of her pregnancy and she was there for the start of that. Also, I know she was at the up fronts last year in May because they've talked about the fact that she was able to hide the pregnancy at that point. The pregnancy announcement came a few days later.
I didn't realize there was some law against people who are currently not working going away for vacation? Is it the fact that she went to Barbados that bothers you so much or is it that she has the time and money to go for so long? Her show was on it's regular summer hiatus, her boyfriend wasn't working on any movies at the time, they were going to be having their first a baby in a few months, why exactly was it so wrong of her to go on vacation? Would you be mad at a school teacher who went on vacation over the summer too?
As for not being seen with her baby.. well first that isn't true, I have seen pictures of her with the baby. Also, a lot of publications have taken the stance recently that they don't show pictures of celebrity children unless they have the parents permission. Both US and E have that policy and have talked about it. She's a celebrity and there are a lot of creepy people out there (just look in your mirror). Michael Jackson used to make his kids wear masks when they were out in public because he didn't want people to know what they looked like. She knows there's a chance she's going to be photographed when she is out and about, I don't blame her for wanting to shield her kid, her little baby from that for as long as she can!
You make these ranting posts slamming Rachel Bilson in particular and the show in general on all kinds of message boards but no, you aren't obsessed at all!
Well said !!!
ReplyDeleteWhy would creators and actors say such a thing if it isn't true?
ReplyDeleteSaid and done; that convinced them
ReplyDeleteHy are saying Rachel didn't want to work? he's been Dixie,Jumper,The OC & more in the last 10 years.You think she " was given the show" but you feel she didn't deserve it? The casting & Czw though she deserved the job so she got,she had to try for it just like everyone else and the fact casting picked her is all that matters,not that you think she didn't deserve it.So she went on vacation during hiatus of Dixie-that's not a crime.People are entitled to breaks/vacations from work.Its her time,miney mlife to with what she wants not for you to tell her how to live.People Tske vacations from work all the time.She then came back to work on the show.Jsmie isn't and wasn't the face of Dixie either,Rachel was & is.CW dosent promote the show much or have it at conventions or I don't think talk shows much.Rachels worked 16 or more hour days on the shows & movies for years and now she's taking care of a baby on top of that.
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between being mad and annoyed with the CW and being thankful. I'm mad they canceled it and annoyed that they didn't announce it themselves weeks ago. I want to believe they really hadn't decided before the season started, as they've said, and really were looking at how the ratings went but why couldn't they have told us once the decision was made? Why are they still promoting it as a Season finale? They claim they want to be a major network and play with the big boys but a lot of times it seems like things over there are being run by a bunch of college kids on spring break.
ReplyDeleteAt the same time, I know I should be thankful that we are going to get an "ending" since a lot of shows don't get that. The CW is better than most of the networks about providing their fans with an ending for shows that have been on for a while but it still upsets me.
I think my big problem is that the last season was so short (and yes I know Nikita only got 6 episodes as their finale). I know part of the reason it was short was because of Rachel Bilson's pregnancy but 10 episodes was just too few to fit in all the stuff they wanted to do! I was so hopeful that we would get another short season so we could see Zoe and Wade with their baby, see Lemon and Lavon together (I don't care for them as a couple but a lot of people like them and have wanted to see them together since the show began), see Wade find out about the money Earl has hidden, explore more with Lemon's mom which was rushed into 2 episodes, etc. I guess I wish they would have renewed the show last year and said something like "we know you can only do 10 episodes this year because of Rachel's pregnancy so we are going to let you do those 10 and then bring you back for the last 12 as a summer show in '16". I know it's unlikely with the ratings this show has had (although to be fair they didn't plummet until season 3 which was so poorly executed it makes me want to cry because it feels like that's what killed the show, before that their ratings were better) but it just would have been nice. The CW says they want to have more programming so they show fewer repeats. This show is one of the least expensive they have. Another 12 episodes next spring or summer to really wrap things up in a less rushed way would have been more satisfying. I know what LG has said but I know already I'm not going to be completely happy with the finale, there are too many things left to explore.
Maybe this will increase the odds of The Messengers getting a second season. :D *fingers crossed*
ReplyDeleteNo.CW can just as easily Csncel Messengers too or Messngers ,IZombie along with it.They almost certainly cancel more than one show this season
ReplyDeleteNot that it's really news but I'm glad they finally came out and said it!
ReplyDeleteAt least yeah, they wrote it like the last season so that's good!
That makes a lot more sense once you understand that the CW doesn't exist to compete for ratings with the other major networks. It may cancel a first year program with low ratings like The Tomorrow People. But, once renewed, the CW network won't take the financial hit associated with walking away from 44 episodes of a program like Reign. In other words, a second season renewal guarantees a third season. After that, things get more subjective. Dixie's fate was decided after it's ratings plummeted last season. In contrast, BATB is still around because it earns significant foreign licensing revenue. Domestic ratings have nothing to do with its survival. It's been shuffled off to summer because the CW network affiliates wouldn't pay anything to license it during the regular season anyway. However, you wouldn't have witnessed a comparable scenario if BATB or Dixie had aired on a major network. Both programs were also fortunate to have come along when the CW badly needed programs. They were among the CW's highest low rated programs after their first season and were cheap to produce. In CW land, that was sufficient to get them at least two more seasons and then some. I believe that 76 episodes of Dixie is plenty. The show's setting simply doesn't allow for expanding the scope of the storyline much beyond the predictably narrow scope of the current personal relationships. it's past time to close shop. Hopefully Rachel Bilson can find another series that showcases her talent for projecting the wittiness and charm that Zoe has demonstrated on Dixie.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite recurring Lavon moment!
ReplyDeleteShe also goes by Lois saying the same thing on other sites for the last couple seasons
ReplyDeleteThanks for being so fast in posting new updates.CW just announce the final season and end this.
ReplyDeleteI freaking teared up!!!!! Jaime King you have an extraordinary soul! This is such a hart break. It was a hell of a ride, sometimes great sometimes not so much but everytime with a lot of soul.
ReplyDeleteNo, thank you for helping us by submitting them ;)
ReplyDeleteI have never watched hod but still that was moving to read
ReplyDeleteIt was actually an excellent catchphrase....
ReplyDeleteMakes me really sad, along with The 100 is my favourite CW show right now, but it was hardly unexpected. Anyways, I started to have a little hope for a summer final season run last couple of weeks ago, specially with those decent ratings (for a friday standards) the show is doing now, ugh...
ReplyDeleteSo mothers who decide not to work for a while so they can take care of their child are lazy?! If a woman is in the happy financial situation that she does not have to work, it's always the better option to stay with the child than to just shove it off to some daycare center...
ReplyDeleteDid Rachel Bilson steal your boyfriend or something like that? The way you attack her personnally like she was a friend who betrayed you is, it's scary.
ReplyDeleteThat was a sweet gesture from JK. You can tell she loved her job. I hope she lands another show, ASAP.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna miss Lavon's Noo Noo Noo Noo Nooo
ReplyDeleteFunny they only posted a few hrs after us lol
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. I always got a kick out of it.
ReplyDeleteWell, I feel sorry for the fans, but it was too obvious, even the actors treated this as a last season. This was a very nice gesture from the shows creator. Farewell, Bluebell, you were a sweet and eccentric little town.
ReplyDeleteDon't BATB have similar rating to HOD yet one show lives on while another is gone!
ReplyDeleteHoD will have a proper ending & enough episodes for syndication,BatB will not yet.Batzb is a cheap Candaian international co-production which means lower liscening fees,cheaper to film in Canda z& a another production comany helping pay production costs & HoD isn't.Plus with Rachel bring pregnant and that being written in, it was coming to a natural end.CW has renewed so many shows and now has to cancel some to make room for new ones.BatB actually has worse ratings than zhoD.Sometimes it's not all about raw ratings or realitive ratings but a show reaching a natrually confusion point and a point where it can get a return on the investment,
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me more upset-I'm sad about it being cancelled but ok since it'll have a proper ending-is Pedowitzs blatant lying.He shoukdve announced it as the final season from the beginning .Some fans were hoping that it would be renewed to get ypto 88 for syndication or as a summer show or were expecting it to be renewed because it's rating the same as a couple other show that were renewed early- & they assumed slso that since Czw renewed so much HoD woukd be renewed too,they got thier hopes up only to be dashed.Dont lie to us or lead us on/string us along.He denied it was cancelled during filming after Scott& Wilson tweeted goodbyes and Wilson joned a new show-at that point at least Predowitz shoukdve said it was cancelled instread of turning around in Jan and saying "we' ll see the ratings( the ratings haven't been that good but not bad either for Fri,CW& equal to Reign,The 100,Jane))".It seems like he always intended to have this be the end and the cast obviously knew too.Dont let it be another 90210-It was announced/confirmed cancelled days before filming on the finale was to star & the writers wre expecting another season and wrote a season finale not a series finale and if that wasn't bad enough the cast out about the cancellation via twitter!How messed up is that?!All that after a month before saying " short final season was possible or Likley".
ReplyDeleteI'll miss this show terribly :(
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity... it was such a light show. And until the end I'll never understand why they had to split Lavon and AB. They were a sweet couple :(
ReplyDeleteTrue... though I think the fact that pretty much the cast and crew treated this season like the last and mentally prepared everyone before the show even started was the next best thing.
ReplyDeleteWell the thing is they wrapped the season well before they broadcast any of the episodes, and pretty much every cast member was more or less acting in their tweets like it was the end... and the storyline in their essence have had a very "final" vibe to them. So even if they weren't officially canceled, I think everyone kinda knew they weren't coming back... And exactly because that has been the attitude of the whole season so far, I can't help but think they had gotten an unofficial heads up anyway. Which in this business it's way more than you could ask for really...
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice goodbye from Jamie King...
