The Book of Daniel: Axed!
Well, they say nothing lasts forever, and they were right.
NBC's The Book of Daniel has been cancelled, effective immediately. The Friday 10
pm slot will be occupied this week by a rerun of a Law and Order episode. No word yet on what the network
will do to permanently fill the slot.
I have mixed feelings on this situation. IMHO, the episodes were filled with way too many subplots and that the writers and producers were more interested in trying to get away with things rather than developing a story. However, I also thought the show could have evolved into something, given more time. Of course, ratings are everything, and this show didn't have them, plain and simple.
I wonder if The Book of Daniel will be "resurrected" on a cable network, a la HBO or Showtime. It might just find a home and a loyal, albeit smaller, audience if that happens.
