I think New Amterdam idea was taken from Jerome Bixby’s “Man from Earth”.

This is a great show and really enjoyed the diferent story lines. Law and Order meets Highlander with people we care about way more than anyone L&O or H. Please work on this show for it soon return.

I have been anxiously awaiting the return of Amsterdam, I loved it, that was the only show that made me drop everything and even turn off my phone in order to watch it without interruptions. Please bring it back…we are looking forward to the fairytale of finding true love.

Please bring back this show. My husband and I loved it and were really starting to enjoy watching it week after week. It had great suspense, it was sexy and interesting. As a history buff, I was entralled….shame on the execs who didn’t think the show deserved to stay on…

Executives are not smarter that 5th graders and nor is their programing directed towards those who are. I was surprised that “New Amsterdam” made it to production at all. Fools: Sell the series to the SciFi channel or something. Hello?

I can not believe they did this! I absolutely loved that show. It was better than watching all the other crap they have on tv! It’s crazy. I am very mad that they took a half decent show and are probably gonna replace it with all that reality show crap. Fox needs a nice punch to the face, piledrive to the face (Nacho Libre, anyone?)

It’s just a TV show, I’ll get over this for sure. That Zuleikha is a very attractive woman!

This was my favorite show. I loved this type or setting for this show. I loved the immortal aspect and the history in the show. I cannot believe that this show was canceled. What a waste. Maybe they will put on another reality show of someone making asses of themselves, just something that we need more of on TV. I hope but I doubt that it will come back but I can only hope.

My husband and I really appreciated this show. Unlike many shows out there filled with so much unneeded garbage or overflowing with political correctness and not so great morals- not saying it was free of that but less in my opinion to other shows-it was just a great show with different twists and a great plot that stretches the imagination-my husband enjoyed the immortal side and idea similar to “Highlander”-unlike some of you. So I do hope that it is brought back somehow.

I was really disappointed that the show did not return. My husband and I both enjoyed the show very much. It was on our top ten list.

I am upset that New Amsterdam will not be on the air. I thought it was a GREAT show. I hope they reconsider.

I was just checking to see when New Amsterdam would be airing again,to my dismay I can’t believe Fox canceled. I all so agree with the no brainer reality shows. I also was checking on another site where they are urging people to phone Fox and let them know how you feel about the cancelation. I’ve already phoned in my concern with the cancelation, as well as banning watching any thing on Fox.
Phone # to call is 310-369-3066. Please call and help bring back N.A.

I agree about brain dead reality shows. It doesn’t pay any more to get hooked on a show and hope it stays around. We all should just wait for the shows to hit dvd and watch al the episodes at once. Then at least we know when it will end, and not be disappointed. Or go on line. Good shows die and crappy shows stay on the air.

By: Barb

Barb — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 19:09:10 +0000

I can’t believe it Fox does it again! This was the best show I’ve watched in along time that had creativity, instead lets watch a brain dead reality show like Hole in a Wall, Huh? If Fox doesn’t bring N.A. back I’m done watching Fox all together!!!!!!!!!!!

wtf is fox thinking they have to be the worst network ever why not just shut your network down …..might as well since your cancelling shows that are good ….like ummmm i dunnoo NEW AMSTERDAM!!!!! FOX SUCKS

By: Elizabeth

Leave it to FOX to cancel a great series AGAIN! I guess everyone should stick with USA, they never let me down yet.

I enjoyed New Amsterdam so much this summer and looked forward to seeing the show again. Please dont end this series. If another network, with common sense, could acquire the show please let fans know. There is so much garbage on network t.v so please dont cancel a HIDDEN TREASURE.

By: Casey

Casey — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 21:57:47 +0000

Was so looking forward to a new season of New Amsterdam. House jumped the shark long ago. Bones is the only show left on Fox that I enjoy. Please don’t mess that one up (they came very close last season)! Fox has truly become a network of the 5th grade intellect. How much longer can reality TV rule? (I hope not much longer). USA and TNT are coming up with more original, clever programming. They at least continue to expect more from an audience than Fox. New Amsterdam will be missed. Hope it shows up somewhere else!

Michael — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:40:43 +0000

had to delete another great show from my DVR queue, due to the all knowing(hrmmmpf) network execs(idiots) maybe they’ll come up with a really interesting reality show( a dog licking his own stuff would beat most of them)

Maybe, BUT I do doubt it, they will revive New Amsterdam, the staff has surely moved on, they need to make a living!!!!!!

By: Becky

Becky — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 00:33:26 +0000

I’m so bummed. This was a great series. I truly enjoyed watching and couldn’t wait for the next episode. This series was much different from what is usually on tv, which is what made it so great! I hope that the producers will change their mind or maybe some other channel will have some smarts and offer it.

By: nate

nate — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 04:45:58 +0000

Why did you take this off? This was just about the only good show on TV. My wife and I loved to watch it together. Stupid TV companies. I guess I need to read more anyway and not watch TV shows anyway…..someday the TV companies will figure out that people like shows that don’t suck and stop showing the same old crap!

By: Karen

Karen — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 00:44:07 +0000

Of course, all the shows I recently liked are cancelled, just more reality shows being aired for typical air heads!

I just found this site when looking to see what has happened to our favorite new show. I agree with all of the previous comments. Unbeleivable!!!!!!!!!

When I read over the lineup for shows this fall, I was shocked to see New Amsterdam was not on that list.
Couldn’t one of the networks get rid of a stupid reality show a bring this quality program back?
My husband and I DVR’d every episode and watched them over again. I sure wish I wouldn’t have erased them!

debbie — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 19:55:44 +0000

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT NEW AMSTERDAM WAS CANCELLED. I’M SO DISAPOINTED THEY ALWAYS TAKE OFF THE GREAT SHOWS AND LEAVE THE GARBAGE ON!!!!!!!!!!

New Amsterdam was a great show! It was creative, educational, interesting and compelling. What is Fox thinking?

What are you people thinking, I just started looking to see when the next episode of
New Amsterdam was coming on and find out that your thinking of canceling it. What’s the matter with you people. This is one of the best shows that has come out in a long time, I’m sick to death of reality shows. Start listening to your viewers for once and don’t cancel this show it rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By: Jim Gorman

Jim Gorman — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 00:07:01 +0000

My wife and I both enjoyed this show. There’s not much on TV that’s worth our time, but we found this show entertaining. We continue to be in the irrelevant demograhic that does not include brain-dead, tasteless reality show fanatics.

I understand that the network executives had creative issues with the show. Since when does one use “network executives” and creative in the same sentence.

At least NBC is bringing “Life” back in the fall!

They take good shows like Journeyman and New Amsterdam and cancel them and put on what?

They need a couple of seasons to let the fan base gather. Too many good shows have come to a premature end.

By: Laurie

Laurie — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:57:22 +0000

I will never understand the thinking of network execs. So many excellent shows have been canceled after the first season or two. I am 56 years old, but thoroughly enjoyed such shows as Joan of Arcadia, American Dreams, Journeyman, New Amsterdam, and Cane. I don’t know what “perfect” show NBC, CBS, Fox are searching for, but they sure turn their backs on some fan favorites!

I think if you are looking for someone to help write for you then I would be happy to, I love reading and writing love stories. How hard can it really be? True destiny and a blue collar job that he is very good at, hmmm sounds like life to me. I like real story lines and things that you can actually believe, it captures your attention and wants you to continue watching to see what will come next. The characters are perfect for this show and they have great chemistry. Again if you need a writer for the show then please let me know and I would be happy to help, anything to help keep the show on t.v. PLEASE don’t cancel it.

By: kamla

kamla — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 19:05:15 +0000

the truly sad part is the networks are shotting themselves in the foot by cancelling shows after one season. I have a question how long before you just stop watching anything new for fear of getting into a storyline and them pulling the rug from under you? I’m there now.

Why is it that most of your interesting programs are delayed or all together denied us your audience who are the one’s who put food on your tables ( so to speak?).It seems to me that you folks would rather bombard us with shows of **** and lesbians (like if we really need to mingle more in the mire)? , This particular series had interesting characters to say the least and actually left us viewing the entire sequence from week to week,(bravo). Don’t take from us what really counts and that is a story of a quest for true love.After all in this forsaken world we need love,( love is all we need? , remember?)

Seems to be a regular occurrence that any shows I find to watch end up getting canceled.. It’s no wonder that the networks are having declining earnings when they
have no idea what people like.. Fox exec.’s should be serving coffee at Starbuck’s because they sure aren’t qualified to decide network programming. This show had a lot of promise & should not have been canceled..

My husband and I love the show……. we are very upset to hear that this may be cancelled! We knew this would happen because unlike most other shows on tv this one is for people that have something left inside their heads! Chingado!

My husband and I love New Amsterdam! It’s a little different than the 3000 different CSI’s on the air and we were looking forward to seeing what direction they were going to go in (I think his true love is his captain) I liked the glimpses back into history and the twists there. When it wasn’t on the air after the strike was over we were sure Fox was just looking for the best slot… It’s a great show — what does it take to keep a great show on the air!!?

I love the show,”New Amsterdam”. I keep hoping that his true love turns out to be his partner. I just have a feeling that it is.

I like that the lead character is so vulnerable. I think that makes him even more attractive to the viewers. I also like the twists and turns of his life as progresses through the many years he has lived. We need more shows like this, one that actually have a great story.

New Amsterdam ranks right up there with House. I don’t understand why it was cancelled. Everyone I talked to that has seen the show new Amsterdam said, “They love it.” Once people see the show they immediately get hooked. They show needs to be out longer so more people can get hooked. BRING IT BACK

By: Lee

This show is one of the best I have watched in a long time. The story line is excellant which always keeps your attention. There is also a little history lessonal added which is, unique and a special part of the program. This is a show that deserves to become a regular brodcast. Thisshow is a big hit so its a must to keep it running.

I love this show! It is exciting AND intelligent. It has a great premise. I came online to find out what had become of it. I sure hope it returns to the airwaves.

It’s a great show…just needs time for people to know it exists. This is a show that needs to stay on the air. Please keep the interesting shows…get rid of something else.

I am tired of getting interested in a show, just to see it cancled. I realy was getting into Traveler and New Amsterdam and now they are cancled? This just makes me not want to watch anymore FOX programing.

I think New Amsterdam is a great show and I will agree with everyone that it should be kept on the air. I very seldom watch anything but HGTV but this series has definitely changed that. It’s sad that the opinions of the older generation is not always listened to.

How could you tease us! I actually really liked New Amsterdam & was really getting into it
and its replaced with a Bones episode I just don’t like at all! I was a Bones fan last year
what happened, did you hire new writers?
I like American Idol Fox news House Bones & New Amsterdam which has been my favorite
so far. It really is something so different then other shows out there right now, please don’t
replace it with some new stupid reality show!!!

this is one of the most interesting television shows out there. i dont get a chance to watch much tv, but this is one that really keeps my interests and i believe stands out amongst the other crime dramas that are on the airwaves. i hope fox doesnt turn new amsterdam into another futurama or family guy and cancel another excellent show.

This is one of the most interesting and intelligent series I’ve seen in a long time. The potential for this series is great and can do alot of facinating things given the right direction. I looked forward to the weekly episodes and was disappointed when House played instead. I hope you keep it on the air.

Please don’t cancel this show. It’s the best thing on TV right now. It’s nice to have a show you can look forward to each week.
