Eli Stone Forums

For those who do not know what 'The View' is, it is a talk show with 4 lady hosts. Check the rest out yourself.

Anyway, I watched 'The View' this afternoon and while it was a discussion of the coming Awards, Whoopi said, "While we're doing this, can I get something off my chest?...ABC, what are you thinking? You have cancelled 2 great shows! You have cancelled 'Dirty Sexy Money' which aggravates me to no end and Eli Stone. Excuse me ABC, I know I work for you but this is a great show, great characters, we care about them, what the hell are you thinking? These are 2 particularly well done, well shot, well written shows that are different from everything else and shoop! (waved her hands in the air)". Sherri Shepherd said, " But you know it's so funny, like Joy said, in this economy with 'Dirty Sexy Money' they had like 15 cast members, it's a big budget-". Whoopi Goldberg cut in, " You know what? (stared straight into the camera) Listen, I can see what you are all doing there at ABC. You could have held those 2 shows and a lot of others stuff you could have got rid of ". Joy Behar replied, " They should get Blagojevich to raise some money for them". "That's right," Whoopi said.

My hat off to you ladies. It's good to know that we, the public, are not the only ones that think so.

I totally agree with gekipink. It's great to have someone like Whoopi stand up for a great show like Eli Stone (god, oh god, did ABC really cancel this?) although at this point it seems too late. Who knows, I've never actually heard that Eli Stone was cancelled technically -- I just think it was not exactly on the schedule for the Winter or Spring (although I'm sure that doesn't mean anything). Although I could do without Whoopi supporting Dirty Sexy Money because it seems to water down a good show with support from one that is not so-good.
