IMO

The final eps were available only from ABC.com, a site which does not permit anyone outside of the 52 to watch (Homeland Security)?

We have been seeing more and more of this sort of thing as Networks have dumbed down the intelligence scale, with really stoopid shows and promotion of a “sound byte” mentality, there are precious few remaining who can follow and appreciate a program with decent plot and character development, prefering

a) quick/dirty snickers from grade school humour mascarading as comedy.

b) no plot, rediculous adlibed not though reality krap

All to keep the masses quietly occupied.

I really enjoyed this show, it is unfortunate that it has been canceled and I too don’t understand where ABC was getting they’re ratings!

Those of you that are bemoaning ABC pulling the show can at least give the network some credit for putting the last 4 episodes on its website. I’ve seen all 13 shows now–and while the show doesn’t END at that point, there is a decree of closure lacking up to that point. A real “didn’t see THAT coming” moment that you gotta see to believe.

This is so typical of ABC. Unless it’s a mindless moronic show, it has no chance. They put it on, take it off , then put it back on again and then cancel it. How could it possibly gain the audience it requires when ABC plays games like this. The least ABC could have done was given us a final episode with some resolution instead of leaving those of us who watched it up in the air. They are obviously pandering to a more juvenile audience.

I am really disapointed in ABC. This has been a cruel joke. Saying you are going to bring back The Nine for 6 more episodes, airing 2 and then it’s gone again. I thought you would at least find a way to hold the intelligent audiences. The Nine was a wonderful series that captures the imagination and makes people think for a change. The other shows don’t do this. Is that what is happening to this world? No one is going to be able to use their brain anymore when watching TV.

I agree with all the previous entries. I also loved The Nine and waited each week for it to come on. If I was at work I taped it and watched after midnight when I got home. It is a shame that it has been cancelled. I have never enjoyed any show on ABC day or night, this was the first. Unfortunatly they have lost me again. Pls take some notes from CBS they captivate my attention day and night with their show line-up. ABC you are not a cable station, pls stop with all the sex shows. Some people DO still have morals and values and dont want to watch that all the time.

“The Nine” was without a doubt not only the best new adult-oriented series of the season, but also one of the best shows ever aired for those of us who perfer more intelligent television – as opposed to idiotic reality shows, lame soap opera type shows and ridiculous fantasy shows (you know which shows I mean). Everyone we know loved this show because it was original, realistic, intense and of course intelligent. Guess my friends and I are too old and too educated for ABC (and we’re only in our 30′s). The producers of The Nine should have known better as ABC has a track record for cancelling only the most intelligent shows while keeping garbage like Supernanny on forever…..Thank God for cable!

I can’t believe that ABC has cancelled such an outstanding show
and then makes us suffer thru reruns. I had hoped that they (ABC)
had learned their lesson with the handling of LOST as when they juggled
the first couple of season’s around and the ratings went down. Please bring back the NINE !!! I will bet that the dvd’s would sell.

ABC are stupid. This was an excellent show with good characterisation. It may not have been as gripping as some shows such as LOST and 24 but it was a lot better than your standard rubbish churned out every week for the avearge fat american couch patato.

I really like this show and was completely engaged in what happend to the characters. ABC has to give the viewers some closure and show us what went on in that bank for those 52 hours; not doing so is just plain mean!

Another excellent show, gone! Why do you teas us with such an excellent, well scripted show, every character-terrific and yet no closure….please return the series and put it on DVD…..The Nine is Sadly Missed!

VERY dissappointing that The NINE was pulled off the air. First ABC show we’ve watched in years. Too many reality shows, soap operas and over-sexed teen dramas. Whatever happened to good television? Could’ve had a gripping hit like 24. Not sure where they’re getting ratings info — everyone we know was watching the show and loved it.

Yes PLEASE CONTINUE with the season, it would be awsome if you could get picked up after the final six episodes, or maybe get a movie done like ‘Firefly’ did on fox lol.

That is a real shame we have been watching re-runs of all your abc shows when we have been WAITING for THE NINE! IT was a Great show! I have now clue where you are getting your rating facts from! It was like ABC’s very own 24! I could wait until next week! Just a shame! Now all you have is Grey’s Anatomy.

Please bring it back! It’s one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. I had no desire to watch TV anymore until I saw the previews for this show! I found myself disappointed that “the hour was up already” after each episode. Please bring it back!

U also the NINE was a wonderful show. I am not into the reality stuff and was pleased to find a nice decent show to watch.

It’s too bad. I thought The Nine was one of the best new shows in years. Very well scripted, acted, and produced for those of us who are sick of the reality show moronic mindset…
