Short-Lived Shows: Over*There
by Jonathan Toomey, posted Jan 2nd 2006 7:32PM
Lately I've been on a bit of an F/X rant, but
I'm the first to admit it because thus far they haven't produced one program that I didn't enjoy. Over*There was no exception. It was produced by Steven Bochco which
automatically gave it some "street cred" in the TV world, but I think what ultimately killed the show was its
timing. It's the first show that has ever depicted soldiers during an actual war, and even though it created an outlet
for people to maybe try and cope with the war that's still going on, it was placed in a position where it suffered from
overexposure. People had seen enough war on the news, and it seems likely that when Over*There came on many
people probably opted to change the channel.TV Squad Hot Topics
