Canceled TV Series Part 2: American Dreams & Jack & Bobby
Ratings For Monday, June 20, 2005:
CBS, as usual, won Monday with an overall 6.5 household rating, followed by NBC with a 4.2. Fox was third with a 4.0, then it was ABC at 3.1, WB at 1.7, and in last place was UPN at 1.6.
At 8PM, two episodes of Still Standing won it for CBS followed by Fox’s Nanny 911. A repeat of Fear Factor on NBC was third, and ABC’s reality dud The Scholar was fourth with a 2.8. Lucky for ABC, Dancing With The Stars is a hit. Over on WB, 7th Heaven beat UPN’s One on One / All Of Us combo.
At 9PM, CBS gained momentum with Everybody Loves Raymond (6.8) and Two And A Half Men (7.4). yes, Two And A Half Men actually picked up more viewers out of Everybody Loves Raymond. Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen (4.3) narrowly beat a repeat of NBC’s Las Vegas (4.2) followed by ABC’s movie Patch Adams, UPN’s combo of Girlfriends / Half & Half, and last at 9PM was WB’s Summerland. How Summerland went from being a modest hit last summer to this is beyond me.
At 10PM, CSI: Miami (7.3) won the hour for CBS, followed by NBC’s Medium, and the conclusion of Patch Adams on ABC.

CAPTAIN MIKE’S CORNER: Canceled TV Series Part 2: American Dreams & Jack & Bobby
Here goes a list of some of the shows I watch regularly that won’t be coming back for the 2005-06 TV season. In other words, canceled TV series.
American Dreams (NBC) – When American Dreams ended its third season in April, Meg was leaving her family behind on the back of a motorcycle. That may have been a good way to end the series, but I don’t think the producers intended it to end that way. American Dreams was never a big hit, but it had a dedicated fan base. American Dreams will be missed.
Jack & Bobby (WB) – Jack & Bobby managed to combine teen drama with politics very well. Maybe that’s why it failed. As good as it was, I think it was very hard for the show to find a steady audience. Jack & Bobby was a show that often gave me Goosebumps. When they would show a situation in Bobby’s life, then flash ahead to show how that situation, however ordinary, affected President Bobby, it made for great drama. The whole cast was great too. Jack & Bobby definitely deserved a second season, but at least they told us how Jack died in the finale.
