> [@drewtwo99](#): > > I remember seeing an ad for Animal Practice and predicting that it would get canceled extremely quickly, I think my specific prediction was by 3 episodes. I have no idea what the TV execs were thinking green lighting a show like that. If you watched any of the Olympic coverage you couldn’t help but see an ad for “Animal Practice” since they ran one at nearly every break. ---

> [@Noelq](#): > > I gave up on Last Resprt, but I’m really enjoying 666 Park Avenue. I hope it doesn’t go. Same here. Man- the female lead is a clone of Kidman, isn’t she? Animal Practice- Monkeys= bad. Mob Doctor-worst concept for a new show I read this year… and Last resort is #2. Revolution: best concept with worst follow up. Some of the silliest damn TV and most unlikeable protagonist this year. “\*Princess Bossy Brat \*“ **Seanette,** that was genius. Beauty & the Beast= beastly. Elementary= Sophomoric. New Normal- besides the two male leads, some really horrible people. Hate this show. Go On; Not bad. Not “must see TV” but watchable. Vegas; not bad but no Longmire. ---

Well, the worst was when they cut from the closing ceremony (The Who was about to play) to show us lucky viewers a special “preview” of Animal Practice. Oh, the Internets burned with anger that night, my friends… ---

> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > Saw about 10 minutes of _Guys with Kids_. > but it was written by hacks. HACKS! Boy is it ever. There’s a fair amount of potential there, but the writing is atrocious. It seems to fall between stilted odd dialogue and ridiculous contrived situations. If it doesn’t get cancelled real soon, I wonder if it’ll follow “Up All Night” into not even really being about the parents’ adjustments to having a kid at all. ---

I’ve only seen the first episode this season but last season was pretty strong. ---

ABC’s _Private Practice_ cancelled after six seasons, probably because the star isn’t coming back for a seventh season. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Not that I would have watched “Made in Jersey” anyway, but couldn’t they have found a non-Brit to play the lead Jersey girl? Thats because they couldn’t find anyone from Jersey with the bad Joisey accent they wanted. > [@Sr\_Siete](#): > > Yes she is… however she does seems to be the Angel of Death of TV shows. The new Paula Marshall. She has fewer hits than her husband did in the playoffs. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > So do any of the new series have staying power? I haven’t watched many of them, but surely one of them is going to turn out to be worthwhile. Nashville, perhaps? I don’t know about staying power, but _Chicago Fire_ (opposite _Nashville_) reminds me a little of a one-season show I liked called \* Trauma\* (and has one of the same actors). I hope it at least gets to play half a season. We’ll see if it has legs to go on from there. I haven’t been watching much TV, though. I’ll watch _Happy Endings_ (tomorrow!) and _Cougar Town_ when they get back. ---

> [@Khadaji](#): > > The one with [Joanna Garcia] pregnant was terrible - no one would have made that show good. I didn’t like any of the people on that show. ☹ I liked that show. It was called _Better With You_, it had my longtime TV crush Jennifer Finnigan, and it had what I thought were funny uses of parallelism. It wasn’t naturalistic enough for modern standards, I guess. Or people don’t find pregnancy funny? Man, could we have a show with Joanna Garcia and Paula Marshall? Is Ted McGinley still around? He could play their dad or something. Call it “So Totally Doomed.” I’d watch it. Maybe I have no taste. ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > Animal Practice- Monkeys= bad. Yeah, I only watched it for Crystal the Monkey, AKA Annie Boobs, but she has a long career ahead of her. Well, long in Monkey Years. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/animal-practice-made-in-jersey-canceled/638239.md?page=1)
