  • It is great family show and needs to be put back in your program line-up.

    My 9 yr old granddaughter, my husband and myself really liked the show. There are not to many programs that you can sit down and watch with your family. We looked forward to see the program each and every week. It is a family show and my family was upset when the program was not shown. Please return this program to you line-up because this household misses it. My granddaughter and I went on the web site to see how he built his tree house because she decided she wanted one just like it. There is only the Disney channel to watch now on Sat night because you removed the program we looked forward too.moreless

  • Finally NBC has a show worth watching

    Crusoe is one of the best shows I have seen on NBC for a long time. It is imaginative and well thought out. I was expecting a modern day Gilligans Island but was happy to see that this was not the case. I hope NBC sees the potential that it has created and brings it back. If not I hope they at least make a made for TV Movie to bring him and Friday home. It would be a shame for it to end without the "happily ever after" ending. Bringing hi, and his family together is a definite for the fans.moreless

  • Come on, finish the show!!!

    Seriously LOVED this series!! Could the network not consider finishing it with another season? If they gave it a decent time slot the show would NOT disappoint! I am still waiting for Crusoe to get off the island and reunite with his family. Also, can't get this on Netflix, wth?

    There is so much story line to work with. What happened to the sick boat crew? Did the bad uncle make it back to England? Did Crusoe and Friday rebuild the tree house? Any new gadgets? Are Suzanna and the children finally safe? Will Crusoe AND Friday make it to England? Will Crusoe get his birthright even if he didn't want it, did Suzanna step in on behalf of the kids since she clearly knew in episode 13?

    Most of all, can you please finish what you started!!!! We've been waiting 2 years now!!moreless

  • Great show for all ages - lets hope for a second season!

    "Crusoe" is an extremely wonderful show that displays the capturing back-story of Robinson Crusoe. Another wonderful twist to this adventure is the many visits (wanted or unwanted) that Crusoe and Friday receive. The relationship between Friday and Crusoe is always entertaining and shows a different perspective on how being removed from civilization could change the way people relate. The different backgrounds of the two men creates an interesting contrast within their friendship. Clever carpentry also plays a huge role in this series as it is all Crusoe and Friday can depend on for day-to-day life and keeping off enemies. A second season is definitely in demand.moreless

  • Crusoe and Friday, just like Defoe wrote them, except not :) and on NBC that's a good thing!

    9.0

    TV needs a show like this on at all times, trust me. This is a pretty looking show and although the writing could be a tad stronger, the two main actors do a top notch job, and surprisingly comprise one of the best duo partnerships on television this season (truly). So good are both lead actors (Crusoe and Friday) that no matter the show's fate, we must see more of them in the years to come. I think it's good for television that this show is on and NBC is doing well enough that they can support it until the fan base grows.moreless

    New NBC schedule doesn't include Lipstick Jungle

    For fans of female-powered dramas, the hoopla surrounding NBC's Lipstick Jungle took a turn for the worse today. The network announced its January schedule, and there's no sign of Lipstick Jungle or Crusoe (more on that in a minute).
