Could I please put forward a suggestion to More4 programming that they pick up this excellent series?

The BBC seem to have totally lost interest and it needs to find a home on a network that know what they're doing when it comes to US imports.

It would be perfect for More4 or even E4 it's so funny. I already have the DVD's of seasons 1 & 2 but I'd still tune in to see it as much as I tune in to see Friends on E4.

Has anyone else seen this great show and would like to back me up?

I love AD so much! I'm currently waiting for the season 2 DVDs to arrive.

I'm glad that the BBC are showing it, but it's on at such an awful time. It's ridiculous trying to concentrate at that time of night. I end up missing half of the jokes.

The 'problem' with AD is that it isn't doing so well ratings-wise in the states. It might get cancelled after this year.

Where did you find out ratings Laurie? I heard that it is doing as well as the past two seasons, and the fact that it's on Fox and has made it to season 3 shows how good it is! Fox usually chop everything.

I'm not sure if you are aware, but last nights episode was the last one on BBC Four and they ddin't even bother to tell us after the episode.

It's screened at the back of 11 on a Thursday night yet it's in the top 10 programmes on BBC Four, so why they are cutting it short I have no idea.

This series should have been picked up at the same time as Curb Your Enthusiasm by CHannel 4 they both go so well together. The day it was snapped up by the BBC was basically the day it was doomed to go virtually unnoticed in the UK.

I can't remember the end of the first season being shown on bbc 2 either- I think I got the DVDs as soon as they came out and watched them instead. (I haven't been watching the eps on BBC4).

I don't know if I can pimp another site on here, but I go to www.televisionwithoutpity.com

I read on there that the ratings are down to 4 million now which for the states is practically nothing.

The show keeps winning Emmys and other awards which is basically the only reason it is still on air. I had read good reviews for the show which is why I started watching it. It wasn't because of the BBC's amazing promotion for it!

"Arrested Development" does seem a good alternative title to the plea of NYPD BLUE fans sometimes drawn to this channel.
Whatever has happened to the great police series NYPD BLUE?
THere are three WHOLE series of this show outstanding, stuck on the shelves gathering dust in the Channel Four archives.
They refuse to show them.
They won't sell them to any other channel who will and they won't explain themselves.
DOG IN THE MANGER or what?
Come on, Channel Four, do the honest thing and come clean on the future of NYPD BLUE in this country?
Are you going to show it or not?
If not, tell me where to post a few dozen blank videos and you can tape them for me.
Don't you feel at all embarrassed about how you've cheated NYPD BLUE fans? www.televisionwithoutpity.com
