What can you do when you're up against competion like
Survivor, Friends spin-off
Joey, The O.C. and even
Smackdown! wrestling? It's hard to break into show business against other series which draw that kind of ratings, but I guess ABC really thought
Life As We Know It had a chance. Turns out they were wrong, though, and rather than just move the show to another night and give it an opportunity to breath and grow, they instead cancelled it without even airing the final two episodes of it's rookie (and now final) season. Too bad...I enjoyed it!
At least I will get to enjoy this on DVD, and all of you will get to as well! Amazon is
showing this title as heading to stores on
August 23rd, along with several other TV-DVD titles from Buena Vista.
Life As We Know It - The Complete Series will contain all 13 episodes produced: the 11 that ran from Oct. 2004-Jan. 2005, plus the 2 unaired episodes. List price is $39.99, but Amazon is selling it for $27.99, a good bargain. For those of you not familiar with the series, you should look for fine performances all around, including those of Sean Faris, who has appeared in
One Tree Hill, and Kelly Osbourne (Ozzy's daughter, also seen in the reality show
The Osbournes).
Buena Vista hasn't formally announced this title yet, but stay tuned and when they do we'll bring you cover art and further details.
Good friends - and good shows - shouldn't be chucked away like trash!
