    That sucks. I really want to now, who the one really was. Is there any chance, that there will be some kind of statement, what they had in mind John Amsterdam?

    Sad news, I really liked the show, they could have done a lot more with it. I'm scared to start watching new series when they get axed so soon

    This is terrible. I realy enjoyed the show and the actors. How they tell in less than 2 months whether a show can make it or not? Please, I've been know to take that long deciding what outfit I'm gonna wear.

    Things were starting to look worse and worse for the show. I'm not too upset personally. I was actually starting to like the show less as it went on. I would've watched if it were renewed since 7 episodes is definitely not enough time to prove itself and the episodes probably would have gotten much better but still, I'm not too upset by this.

    This was a great show and I believe its cancellation is due partly because of the writers strike. A lot of new shows couldn't get off the ground and grab audiences. I just wish we could find out who the one was.

    You know this p*sses me off, I cannot believe Fox has cancelled another show and it makes me wonder if it's worth getting into new series just for them to be cancelled after 6 odd episodes, I know ratings are a big thing and ratings make the money but there are genuine fans of these shows getting crapped on from a great height, and it's not just New Amsterdam, but Drive, K-Ville, Journeyman, Jericho ( okay got a season 2 ) Las Vegas end's, no word on a 4th series of The Unit, Moonlighting could go and that's just to name some of the shows I really got into and enjoyed.

    Why aren't we having shows that go on for 6 or more seasons, they did it with a bunch of TV shows in the 80's 90's and even early 2000 so why are we getting a 6 to 13 episode season shows all of a sudden only for a broadcaster ( mainly Fox ) to bin it and replace it with a stupid reality show.

    Yes I am from the UK and watch the shows via the internet until they show over here but I still makes me mad and fully support petitions and other cause's to help save or even bring back these shows.

    This TOTALLY sucks! These networks wouldn't recognise a decent show if they were slapped with a wet fish! What morons are running the programming? That strike has done so much damage ... I am sure most of this is payback by the networks for the support the actors gave to those striking! I really loved this show ... Network Chiefs ... what a bunch of ducking bankers!!!!!

    This happens to me every season. I find shows that I love and they get cancelled. This season alone I'm losing New Amsterdam
    Big Shots
    Journeyman
    October Road and Moonlight
    There might be others but thankfully I can't remember them. I might get depressed

    Wow... I am getting tired of liking new shows and then they get cancelled. What is the point in putting out so many new ones if they aren't even going to give them much of a shot?? I will miss New Amsterdam.

    Ratings over quality, I guess. It will be missed.
