Low-rated TV shows set to get the boot

The only fly in the ointment was that annoying Phil, but I could deal with him this season because they brought in the funny and acerbic Daryl “Chill” Mitchell as Phil's foil (say that 5 times in rapid succession).

I had heard that Daryl was paralized in an accident, is that true?

"Life with Bonnie" has been a pretty sad show... which is sad, I like Bonnie Hunt a lot but her show just didnt do much for me... not surprised to see it go.

I think Becker is pretty funny but has been running for awhile & may be running out of jokes & new stuff :-)

Daryl is indeed paralyzed, from an accident. If you see "Black Knight", he's in that - it's the last movie he made before his accident.

I have to give the guy props for doing his thing even though in a wheelchair - and especially for that segment where he gave us a glimpse into what it's really like for a paraplegic to function on his own.

I had no idea he was really paralyzed. Wow!

Wasn't he in The John Larroquett(sp?) show?

Yep. This is an excerpt from a BET show they did on him:

Almost everyone's heard about the unfortunate accident that made actor Daryl "Chill" Mitchell wheel chair bound.
The actor, who is now paralyzed from the chest down because of a motorcycle accident, rebounded to earn his current role as Eli, the handicapped manager of the bowling alley on "ED."

As a former rapper ("Groove B Chill") and co-star in the popular "House Party" movies, as well as a regular on the popular network TV series "Veronica's Closet" starring Kirstie Alley and "The John Larroquette Show," Daryl's story is one of triumph and determination.

Leave Wanda At Large alone and I'm happy. All the other sitcoms I watch are high in the ratings.

as long as Alias and Angel come back I'll be happy(along with whose Line)

Dammit! Must my tastes in television so so above that of the masses that my loves get the boot without fail?!

*hem* Pardon me.

"Life with Bonnie" might be more successful if Bonnie Hunt wasn't trying to do it all -- producing, writing, and starring.

I heard that "American Dreams" has been renewed for another season.

Most of the time when networks move shows to different nights its the kiss of death. So I can see where david Kelly is mad about.

Look at what happened to Dark Angel big hit the first they moved it to Friday night when there main viewership would be out and not watching Tv it was cancelled that season.

NBC has a bad habbit of doing this. They have had several decent good sitcoms like Newsradio, Just Shoot Me, 3rd Rock and many other sitcoms that they moved all over the place they could never really build a fan base. I used to really like 3rd rock and just shoot me you would tune in for the regular time to find out it airs on a diferent day and time.
