[img]smilies/sun.gif[/img] Welcome To The Once And Again Appreciation Thread! [img]smilies/sun.gif[/img]

Unfortunately, our show is gone and off the air, but it will never be forgotten. You can catch repeats on the cable channel, Lifetime. Check your local listings for times. In the meantime, let's continue to post and appreciate this wonderful show that was cancelled prematurely and never given the chance it rightly deserves. We welcome all newbies to the thread and a special thanks to the regulars (although some may have gone) who continue to keep this thread alive.

[Mehg]

This was one of the greater shows on TV. It sucks when good shows get cancelled...especially knowing what we're left with. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

[NikNak]

Right back at ya, Stace. [img]smilies/kiss.gif[/img]

I saw an O&A epi last night when Judy first opened Book Lovers and her and Lily got into a huge fight, also Will Gluck left. Ah, I loved it. I miss this show so much.

[*Stacy*]

Aww, I loved Book Lovers. A cool place. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

OMG, my eyes!

*shudders*

I don't think I can welcome you here. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Hehe. Just kidding. Welcome to the thread! It's nice to have new O&A fans.

[*Stacy*]

[img]smilies/headslap.gif[/img] Just go away Nik. I will welcome her!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]


[img]smilies/wave.gif[/img] Welcome fellow Grace/Eli shipper!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Lazy]

Thanx for the welcomes! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I was thinking that that will probably be your response to my post, Nik [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Btw, is the banner showing up in my opening post? Just checking.

Just stopping by. I wonder if they plan on releasing the other 2 seasons on DVD. I really feel like rewatching some of those episodes.

I'm not sure about the other seasons. I have not heard anything. I'd give my right pinkie for the other2, but yet, I still need to buy the first season. I keep thinking maybe it's me. If I just buy it, that will be the one to send it over the top. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]

That makes two of us. Thankfully, I have the first season, but that only makes me want the other two even more.

BTW, this is from this week's Ask Matt column at tvguide.com:

Question: Judging from ABC's drama-starved past season, I can't help but think it's too bad Once and Again isn't still around and going into its fifth season. Wouldn't it have made sense for ABC to have held onto its jewel in the crown? It was ABC's best drama in decades. Too late to bring it back? — John

Matt: Given the network's complete failure in the drama department last season — and I include Dragnet on that list, even though it got picked up to run (and presumably disappear) on Saturdays — a little smug hindsight from Once and Again fans seems justified. How much worse could that show have done than the dramatic turkeys they served up? But it's over, and we should all learn to move on, as everyone with the show has since (although I keep hearing that those brilliant producers Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick are developing something new for TV, and if so, I can't wait).

Oh man, if that last statement is true, I'm going to be one happy girl. I really hope they do come back into the TV medium. I miss the honesty and beauty of their shows so much. But please, just don't let it be ABC again. I don't think they'd go back to that network anyway. Does anyone else think that their work would be more nutured at a channel like HBO? Granted O&A didn't have the sex or violence factor of some of HBO's shows, I still think HBO is much more appreciative of quality than broadcast networks, and can afford a smaller audience. Plus, who knows, maybe they wanted to push the envelope a little more with O&A and weren't able to do so being on a broadcast network, so maybe HBO is just the place. Okay, I'm done hypothesizing now. Just glad to hear the possibility of my two favorite guys returning to TV.

Vlada

Thanks for the info Vlada. I would love for them to come back on tv and I agree, they need to go somewhere they will be appreciated and respected. Wish some of the old actors/actresses would come back to their new show. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[NikNak]

Thanks for the info. I would love to watch a new show by the O&A writers. I know they wouldn't disappoint. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
