Speaking of the gorgeous Dina Meyer, she will be the Gossip Game guest on Howard Stern tomorrow (Friday 22nd). Apparently she was booked before the show was cancelled. Howard mentioned this morning that it was the first time they would have a guest for that segment whose show had just gotten axed. Be interesting to see what she has to say about the show and its demise. I believe she is appearing in the new Star Trek film, so hopefully the cancellation won’t affect her career any. ---

Speaking as one who was just starting to really like the show, let me be the first in this thread to say: Well, damn. With last night’s episode the show was starting to show some improvement. I was looking forward to seeing how the good Doctor’s scheme of conquest was going to shake out. I was a little disappointed that the tall-dark-and-handsome crimefighting stranger from out of town didn’t turn out to be Nightwing, but there you go. And the dialogue WAS TOO getting better, honest. I still don’t like Dinah, but I know Mrs. Tygr is going to miss looking at/drooling over whassisname, the cop. I know I’m gonna miss the girl that plays Huntress - she rivals Smallville’s Lana as the smokin’-est hottie on WB. ---

I think the show was finding its voice and is being canned far too early. Mia Sara was really amazing as Harley Quinn. If they had only invested the characters with a bit more interplay and backstory buildup, I think it would have had more depth and interest from viewers. ---

well… poo! i was hoping that they would explain how a canary is a bird of prey. i was a bit mystified by the name of the show and the lack of secret bird of prey names. ---

Well, according to Dina Meyer on Stern this morning, they’re still filming new episodes… so who knows? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/birds-of-prey-cancelled/137763.md?page=1)
