More than seven years after “My So-Called Life” was cancelled, another great Bedford Falls shows bites the dust. After three seasons, the ratings were too low for ABC to continue with the show.

Fans tried to save the show by placing full page ads in “Variety” and “Hollywood Reporter in February and March 2002.

Excepts from the ABC press release:
“For the past three seasons, weve been incredibly proud of the creative work done on `Once and Again,” said Ms. Lyne. “The program has passionately devoted fans who deserve a fully realized conclusion to Rick and Lilys story. And we owe it to Marshall and Ed – and the phenomenal cast they assembled — to give the series a great send off.”

“At this moment we are just proud and honored to have reached and touched as many people as we did over the course of three years,” executive producer/creator Marshall Herskovitz commented. “We have always judged our efforts on the basis of the passion with which they are received, not by the size of their ratings.”

“We have been particularly moved by the outpouring of support by so many fans in their efforts to save the show,” executive producer/creator Ed Zwick continued. “And were grateful that ABC has given us the chance to create a final episode that does justice to those who have been so loyal to the series.” >>

The finale is reportedly titled “Chance of a Lifetime.”

He talks about the future of his show “Roswell”

Jason Katims, who was a writer on “My So-Called Life” is currently faced with the cancellation of his own tv-show “Roswell”.

In an interview with fans from the Roswell fansite “Crashdown.com”, he also talks about fans, the internet and “My So-Called Life”:

Crashdown: There seems to be a really close relationship with Roswell between the production staff and cast and their fans on the net. Do you see that as a sign of things to come, or is it something that is just special with this show?

Jason Katims: Im hoping that it is. Its interesting because I also worked on “My So called Life” and that was a show that also inspired this big passionate fan base, but at the time the internet was very new, and not as pervasive as it is now- and television audience was not as sophisticated as it is now, and this Crashdown audience is such a sophisticated audience. I used to joke that if I wanted to know what was going on with the show, Id log on to Crashdown and find out because they seemed to know more than I did about what was going on. And often they did. So I think that it is a sign of things to come in a certain way, and the communications and closeness between the people making the show and the audience is a way of closing that gap, and is a good thing.
