the show was good but way to much untold truth between the wayne and dahlia. i got tired of watching them both just not even mention anything thing to one another even when there were bigger problems yet its a show… soo i understand that. also i just got so sick of dahlia shes bipolar a druggy selfish dumb i was tired of watching her be that way to the family and the only people who put her down were the kids. i wanted wayne to beat her and or she get killed off or go to jail. with that said the show got kind of lame with all the unsolved drama and everyones moodswings and dumb actions. if they are to try and continue the show… make it more serious in a sence to ware we viewers arent saying to ourselves cut the crap and do wat needs to be done. dont know i could go on and on with other stuff. just thought id put my thoughts in

I didn’t know what the show was. I saw advertisements for it on TV and always thought it was the old Richy-Rich cartoon made into a live action drama series. It still looked interesting, but I wasn’t able to get around to watching it.

Now it is on Hulu, so I decided to check it out and the show is brilliant! I couldn’t pay for it if I had to (not in this economy) but I really love the show and wish I could afford to pay for it. I don’t want to see the series end (although it already has).

It saddens me that poor advertising and bad time slots are killing tons of great shows! Firefly, Defying Gravity (Well, ok.. Defying gravity wasn’t great but it was above average!), The Riches, and many others! It’s like there’s all these great shows but no one knows they exist until they’re gone!

I think TV needs to change the way it does things. Each station can only show one show in a given time slot, and often stations put all their best shows on during the same time slots to compete with each other. People end up going with what they know, instead of trying what is new. Then if they stick it in a less popular time slot, people simply don’t know it is one or don’t watch it because they are at work or sleeping.

Hulu, DVRs, and On Demand are the only way to go these days I think.

In any case, I want to see more of The Riches! I hope we can drum up enough support to bring it back. I hope FX is able to bring it back if we do drum up the support!

Yeah at least they could have done one more episode to end the season 2. I don’t know where Cael chose to stay – with gypsies or his family.

Dude, it’s only crap like “Degrassi” and “One on One” that gets to stay on and important shows like “the Riches” go. Damn. Maybe most folks are dumbasses and don’t get the meaning of the show. I personally love it and would contribute to a movement to bring this show back.

why do the intelligent shows get cancelled? you could have given it more than a season and a half. how many series hits developed after several lackluster seasons? duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! you goofed. bring it back.

Please i am begging you bring back my favorite show, i still cant function without it, i miss this show so much. It was a really bad idea to cancel it, i want to see it back on please.

A poor move to cancel a show that had so many great elements. Many plot twists and possible moral messages too. We liked it allot! It beat the stuffing out of cop shows and reality TV drech on the networks today. You may have polled the wrong demographic on its value. Still, I’ve got a channel switcher and DVD player and I use it.

FX is making a big mistake in removing the show,it had a great story! All it needed was more of a twist in drama..and it would have brought more people to watch..it sad to see it end like the way it did with no endind..but maybe another network will pick it up and add the drama it needs…im sure the show can make it if you had better writters and more drama..on another network like TNT…FOR SURE…THE RICHES IS NOT REALLY A FOXNETWORK KIND OF SHOW……

By: rkd

The first season was brilliant…so fresh and original. The writers just phoned it in in season two…even loyal fans were wondering WTF? It’s a shame…they destroyed a really good show. Not the first time FX had a good show then killed it… Remember “Thief” with Linda Hamilton and Andre Braugher? A great show with a multiracial ensemble cast that was really good but the moved it around so much that no one could find it!

I’m going back to TNT and the Closer and Grace

Damn writers, why can’t you just be happy that you have such a sweet job. The second series was crap, you can see they weren’t putting in the effort in anymore. It wouldn’t have been cancelled if the second season was as good as the first one. Why don’t American TV writers put some effort into their job instead of just making it up as they go along. In England and Ireland people write a whole series at once so it retains some coherence. You should learn from them. Also stop misappropriating clever, original British TV shows and remaking them badly. Have some originality for ****’s sake.

I love this show, and Eddie Izzard….I can’t believe that it got canceled without even a wrap up episode. I’m going to write my own damn ending. The needed to promote it a lot better, and I am pretty aggravated that they won’t finish the series. I don’t even LIKE most shows on tv, and this is one that was original and awesome. Please come back!!

FX started to show The Riches late at night and I watched the first episode..became addicted..and eventually downloaded all the episodes from TIVO. My god!! What an original series and what an interesting story and plot lines! Why is it the most creative and original programs always get cancelled????? The fact that it is an FX series and it’s cancelled really surprises me. FX is known for original shows and ideas. PLEASE reconsider bringing it back!!!!!!!!! You need 500 signatures for the petition?? I’ll get them..I just won’t say how..:) Izzard..you’re fantastic..ALL the characters are great..I know I will miss the show alot!! I wish I could see how it all ties up! This Buffer is upset

By: davielle

I just finished watching season one and two.
This show is truly outstanding!
Its one of the few shows with cast members that not only know how to act,
but are exceptional at it!
I thought the whole plot was refreshingly unique
and quite frankly I’m extraordinarily disappointed, as others have stated before, that this incredible show couldn’t get a wide enough range of viewers while plenty of other programs much lesser in caliber have amassed gigantic audiances
The entire rich family was casted wonderfully and kudos to all the actors for sharing such memorable and high quality performances.

It is really sad that one of the best dramas on TV today can’t get an audience. I can’t understand how some of the crappy shows I see on TV while flying on Virgin Airlines or in the hotel rooms can continue to exist, when The Riches is not going to make it. So sad. Really sad.

I agree with most comments, The Riches was entertainment, and that is what I look for when I turn on the tube. however life goes on.
sometimes I wonder who really makes this decisions.

OMG!!!!!! I have been waiting hella long for them to bring back the show and now they are canceling the show after i got all my family in friends hooked and caught up on the show! they chose to cancel this show and bring back stupid ass show’s such as rescue me seriously!! FOX/FX must not really care about making money, cause i bet all the fans that have been waiting seems like for two years would probably be freaking excited that it was back on!!!

Whoever makes those kinds of decision’s really needs to get fired!

i would love to sign a petition as well if ther is one!!

thanks for listining!

The show was great. I saw the 1st ep then couldn’t find it for a long time. I found it online and caught up only to find out the series is cancelled.

Apperently, who ever made the decision must think it is more economical to air rerun after rerun for an overly expensive amount (cable costs) rather than invest in the viewers who are interested in new, exciting, well written, well acted, perfectly matched cast.

Maybe we should all cancel Fx from our cable packages. Seriously what do we have to do to get new and interesting programing!?

The world didn’t end and everyone isn’t sleeping with everyone else and everyone isn’t so better than everyone else they are trying to stab in the back. No! this series is different.

When things are different than the norm you have to give it time to catch on. Also, did anyone give consideration to the fact that the writer’s strike may have been more at fault in the demise of the the third season.

Bring the writers and actors back and give us something that is not the same as everything else on t.v. (and not a rerun!)

Sincerly,
Ms. Burger

By: Mike

Yep, another show cancelled by FOX/FX that was fantastic! I lived the entre life of the Malloy’s personally. Every detail, right down to the strung out ******-dressed wife Dahlia/Shareen. My wife got a $500k/yr job as a “realtor/deve;oper” based on cup size, and I was a fraudulent banker, with no education! My biography coming out is almost paralel! I was new to the show this year, and it is pathetic of FX to cancell this show. It was expertly directed and written. The character development was phenomenal. The acting was among the best ever put on television. I would do whatever i could to keep this show on TV. Unfortunately, FOX/FX is not in business to produce high calibre entertainment, it is only about making money. that’s hard to do with this show when even Izzard and Driver are not interested in returning.

Why would a network cancel a show this good when silly, dumbass shows like Survivor and the like are the only competition. The Riches was great television, and it’s really disappointing to see it go. Thanks for getting everything wrong, Fox networks!

Such a shame…. why was it cancelled? Because it was different, provocative, interesting, dysfuntional and endearing all wrapped up in one. The powers that be really missed the boat on this one, I think they should have tried to revive it after the strike. I will miss this show.

Ex-Nielson Family member — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 20:03:02 +0000

Neilson and those other crap evaluators of television programming need to stop pandering to the lowest common denominator and the numbers that the Television execs WANT to see.

Intelligent programming for intelligent people is not going to ever be evaluated properly, for as long as companies like Nielson discontinue using families that do not fit their predetermined preference for viewing habits.

Crap system it is that cancels great programming!

I never write about things like this, but why would you cancel such a great show? Did you just run out of ideas?
I am sure there are talented people that could write a few more episodes. You really should reconsider this one. You don’t have a lot of hits going on right now do you?
Thanks for your consideration. The Riches was truly entertaining and it was NOT a reality show. We have enough of those don’t you think?
