The real problem that NBC has is that the show is no longer the killer hit it once was. They had the single most watched show on TV. Now they don't so they're acting like a bunch of children who aren't getting their way. Cry me a river. I'm sure they'll cancel it if the ratings don't improve, I just hope they give the crew that's left enough time to wrap things up.
I still love the show and I'll always have the DVDs to watch and rewatch.
