PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

LAST EDITED ON 03-30-04 AT 02:57 PM (EST)The full story doesn't say much more -- yes, it's pulled, and apparently what was originally a one-week Wonderfalls/Forever Eden Thursday/Friday swap is now "permanent" -- or at least as "permanent" as a it can be considering that as of this Friday, Eden will now have aired six episodes on four different days. The only noteworthy part is "Because the skein has a strong competition element, Fox plans on bringing the show back this summer so viewers can find out how the game ends." and a mention that NBC did the same with "Lost" while ABC did it with "The Family" ...no mention of the much better "Mole 2" comparison, two thumbs down to the Variety writer -SB

I am upset that they pulled it. I loved watching it and looked forward to it coming on each friday. Does anyone know anything about Wonderfalls if its still on or not? I think its pretty good to.

I believe Wonderfalls is trading spots with Forever Eden. So it should be on, on Mondays.

7. "Carp!!!!" |
Pulled from Fox's message board.CHICAGO (thefutoncritic.com) -- FOX is dumping its reality dating series "Playing It Straight," while "Wonderfalls" and "Forever Eden" are swaping time periods permanently beginning this week. The news comes as little surprise for "Straight," as last Friday's broadcast averaged a paltry 2.1 rating/4 share and 1.3 rating among adults 18-49 according to fast national data. Both those scores would mark the network's worst Friday, 8:00/7:00c time period performance this season should they hold up nationally. FOX plans to fill the show's time slot with clip shows "Totally Outrageous Behavior" and "World's Craziest Videos" starting on April 2. "Behavior" and "Videos" previously aired for five weeks in said time slot earlier this year. "Straight" will get the hook after just three weeks on FOX's schedule, a rarity for a reality series. Only a handful of series in the genre - such as ABC's "The Family," NBC's "Lost" and UPN's "Under One Roof" - have gotten shelved mid-run. "Straight" most likely will burn off its remaining installments this summer.

These people just don't know who they are messing with. Us gays won't put up with this ##### forever. I hated it when they did this to the Mole 2 also. Why even bother starting something if they aren't going to finish it?

Why not just finish it? Doesn't seem typical of Fox. *Everything* they show in that time slot fares poorly.

For what's its worth, I put our news story up a couple of hours ago:http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=2423 I don't get why they are pulling it with three episodes left. ABC pulling Mole 2 made some sense, as it still had 10 episodes to go. But THREE?!?!? ...coming from the same folks who let Joe Mill 2 limp along in the ratings for ten episodes!?!? In the still-gonna-be-dead-as-a-doornail-anyways Friday timeslot??? ...the move makes little sense. -SB

Well, Eddie would have no idea how the editing was gonna go down until it hit the airwaves. I think it was very strange the way they handled Eddie's departure. Director of Public Relations for GAWKUR!

I really don't think that Eddie's departure had much to do with the show going off the air. I would really like to know how this affected his teaching job - I certainly hope it wouldn't. Also, I think they should just have left it alone. Those last three weeks could have been a ratings grab if they just advertised it a little more.

The show was filmed last summer, and it will return for sure in July. I am friends with one of the contestant's husband, and though they haven't told me who wins, I know that he didn't! LOL!
