I was mad about them cancelling “Six Degrees” and now it’s this! The only shows I’ve actually enjoyed in years, beyond “Lost” & look what they do!! No wonder I never watch TV!

I want it back. I don’t get to watch TV much. When I do I like to watch something good, like The Nine!!! It stays in my head and keeps me wondering, lets me forget about my day. Bring it back.

I loved this show. This is the second show that I was hooked on that BAM they cancel before you get any answers. I was really into FOX’s Reunion and they pulled that. I’m so disappointed!!!!

It really does bother me that network television can make an apparant decision on a show in less than a few weeks. The Nine has a great plot and I waited impatiently for each week to see what happened in the bank. Tim Daly and remaining cast are extraordinary actors and I enjoyed watching the show. It drives me insane when I finally get in to the characters and what the show is all about that the network decides to cancel it leaving me in the lurch for what “could have been”. Just for a point of reference I started watching Lost only to get bored in the 4th episode and decided to watch something else – then I caught another episode and was hooked again – imagine if I wasn’t the only one and no one came back.

I finally looked the nine up on the internet to see what happened. I thought this was a great show. I still have been looking for it to return every Wednesday night for the past 2 months. I believe it can make it>

Wow are people missing out!! If people liked “Lost” when it first started they would certainly like this show. However, unlike “Lost” (which has completely lost me) this show (The Nine) has plenty of great believable stories left in it. I am disappointed that after one season ABC is ready to pull the plug. If they were trully looking for a great series this is it. One of those shows that keeps you coming back for more. It is well worth watching every week.

I wish that people who greenlighted shows had enough conviction to really give the shows a chance. I really liked The Nine and would love it to have it back on the air.

I enjoyed The Nine and would appreciate the remaining shows being aired as soon as possible to learn the conclusion – if there is one!

Ugh! They showed it inconsistantly and wondered why it never caught on. This happed last year with the best show of that season called “Reunion” If the show is not being televised how can it get interest….it can’t.

I am so upset that the show was yanked….GIVE IT A CHANCE. Please bring THE NINE back…it was just so good.

I view a show like THE NINE more as a mini-series. A network should commit to telling the story. I think the first scripts went slow because it wasn’t clear if this was going to be a series that went into a second season as LOST did. If the network committed to the concept that it was only going to be a 22 week deal, the scripts could be written as such, the story told and the series end as mini-series do after the allotted time.

The Nine was a very good show with a great cast. Don’t leave us hanging! What happened in the bank? The people who invested time watching the series deserve to know!

Guess this is kind of a P.S. to my above post. We’re trying to bombard ABC with postcards in support of “The Nine” so if you want to help…

Oh, and there is more than one petition circulating so here is another if you’re interested in helping:

Terribly ironic how I actually posted way back, before this very extraordinary new series “The Nine” ever even aired its first episode, that perhaps a petition to save it should be prematurely started. Wish that had only been a joke. Fans of “The Nine” are now experiencing a type of deja vu as we have not forgotten about last year’s “Eyes”. “Eyes” was a great show. “The Nine” is also a great show. What isn’t so great, however, is the network’s refusal to acknowledge the more mature and sophisticated television viewers (and I’m not necessarily referring to age here). “The Nine” is a show for adults, unlike “Lost” which is geared towards a younger audience. It’s bad enough that ABC decided to schedule “The Nine” right after “Lost” since the two shows do not have a similar age-range audience. Worse yet is that this same network decided to put “The Nine” in the same ill-fated time slot as they did last year with “Eyes”. Will someone please tell Tim Daly that ABC can not be trusted to air his shows and that his numerous fans have had it with this network. Supernanny and Wife Swap are airing and “The Nine” is on hiatus? I think I’m too grown up for ABC. If “The Nine” does not return then they’ve lost me as a viewer forever (and I’m not the only one). C’mon ABC…Change the night if you want to but Bring back “The Nine” and give intelligent adult viewers something to watch!

ABC are nuts pulling this show.
If the American audience don’t like it there are plenty of people in the UK like me who will watch it.
I like the interplay of emotions in it.
I think its a very clever show.
ps – Lost season 3 has lost the plot!

I wasn’t surprised this show was pulled. The episodes were very slow and the characters (other than Tim Daly, Kim Raver, and John Billingsley) lacked personality. The first two episodes had me interested but the last one, I actually TiVo’d half an hour into it just because direction of the stories almost put me to sleep.

In all honesty, if I see another episode where Jessica Collin’s character cries again and mentions her baby, I’m going to scream…not really. I actually don’t care.

On with the next show.

Good! I am glad it’s being pulled. I tried getting into this show, but could not stand all the whining being done by the former hostages, however, I like that Tim Daly and would like to see him appear somewhere else.

I am so disappointed to hear The Nine was pulled. I am losing faith in ABC. First they play up the new LOST season, and end up puttting it on hiatus after how many episodes???…4 or 5? Is that what a season is? Next, I am totally hooked on the Nine to find out they pulled it. Maybe I’ll have to switch Networks so I can actually find out what happens next in my favorite show.

We are so terribly upset that The Nine is not on anymore. We were so involved and interested in the characters and the plot – It was a very well written series and this is horrible that you are not allowing it to go on. It is so unfair to the viewers. Please bring this series back!

Trying to find more supporters to help save The Nine!

At MediaVillage.com, you can Sound Off and they will send your comments to the network. They have done this before, and protested Showtime’s pull of Dead Like Me off the air. Doesn’t always work, but it could help. They have a poll on the site right now about whether or not The Nine should be saved, so if you love the show, go and vote, and they will send the results to ABC.

We are very disappointed that The Nine has been pulled. We enjoyed the way the characters were being developed and the story unfolded in each episode.

I am so sad to lern that it has been pulled. I coldn’t figure out what was going on. I was a faithful viewer and think it is a really good show. One of the few interesting new shows on the air this year. I hope so much that ABC will make the right decision and give this show a chance.

“the nine” was getting a bit slow but i am starting to seriously resent networks pulling the plug on a serial that millions of viewers have invested quite a bit of time in. who in the world would go see a movie if they advertised that they lost the last reel?

answer: no one

personally – i was totally into “invasion”. way more than lost. i really wanted to see what happened to those characters.

at the very least they should always give any serial a two hour finale to bring it to some kind of emotionally satisfying conclusion.

I’m so disappointed that this show has been pulled. I wish ABC has been as patient as NBC was with Friday Night Lights, a show that is comparably ratings-challenged but well-reviewed.

Here’s a link to a “Save the Nine” petition

Please let the Network know that you support the show.

It’s too bad they are cancelling this show. I was one of the few faithful watchers of the show, and I really enjoyed it. I hope it’s released on DVD at some point, because I will buy it.
