Today is a very sad day in my television viewership. I just found out that one of my favorite debut season shows was canceled. Most of you won't care because you never even heard of it. In case you're wondering, the show I'm referring to is The Deep End.

It was a show about first year lawyers working at the biggest and most prestigious firm in Los Angeles. It starred Billy Zane, Nicole Ari Parker, Tina Majorino, and Mechad Brooks. If the names don't ring a bell, let me help you out. The mean guy in Titanic. Terri from the Soul Food television series. The little girl in Corina, Corina. Jerome on The Game. I'm digressing.

The show featured witty storylines and good acting. The main problem was that it was realistic. It was set in 2010 and they still had to research out of books and not use the internet. Plus, being that it was a mid-season replacement, the storylines were a bit rushed. They were never allowed to unfold. But for me that was the fun and appeal of the show. It was sort of like a funny Law and Order with more emphasis on the lawyers' personal lives.

See, like I said, you probably don't care. And being that I'm the only one that does care, I'm going to go sulk somewhere in a corner. Don't mind me. I need time to heal before I find something else to watch. Although, I do hope they put it on dvd. Maybe I'll let some of you borrow it if they do.
