Big Shots TV Show

Well guys since there nothing new about Big Shots, I just thought to have a look at the reasons behind the axing of one of our favorite shows. Well personally I feel that if the only reason behind the cancellation of a show is its poor ratings, then the producers need to get their heads checked!!! I mean, ratings do depend on a lot of things, an especially in this case, the ratings could have dropped because of the prolonged writer’s strike as well as the constant change in time slots and so many other things which can not be controlled. And I really feel that if the show had continued after the writers strike ended, it would have reached new heights of popularity. It had a lot of potential to grow both in terms of story as well as popularity. Bringing it to an abrupt end was a big mistake. I think the people at ABC are crazy to cancel a show that stood out of the league.

The show with a nice and captivating plot and adorable and talented actors left people craving for more. At the end of each episode people were left guessing as to what would happen next and this brought them closer to the characters. It not only made you laugh but also raised some serious questions that concern our society. Unlike other shows, people were interested in every character. In an era where every second show is female oriented, this was one of the very few male oriented shows. I along with most of my friends was quite upset with the cancellation of the show and would like to advice the people at ABC to bring back the show which can replace many dumb shows being aired right now.

Last week, when producer David Friendly, announced that he’s looking forward to get ‘Big Momma’s House 3’ next year. Well, the man didn’t utter any word about the script and story line but he very confidently made a statement which gave me lots of pleasure.

He confirmed that Nia Long will come back and will reprise her role along with Martin Lawrence. She will play opposite Martin as she did in the previous two movies.

Nia Long is best known for her role in ‘Big Shots’. In series, she appeared as Katie Graham, one of the leading characters. Well, it’d be great to watch her once again in ‘Big Momma’s House 3.

As of now, ‘Big Shots’ has no future so the whole star cast started moving towards some upcoming projects. As I told you in my previous post, Michael Vartan will be seen in ‘Demoted’ and now it’s also sure that Nia Long will appear in ‘Big Momma’ next release. At least, two members of star cast have signed their future projects and very soon, we’ll see some more names in this list. Most probably, the next name will be of ‘Joshua Malina’…. The man is in talks for some new movie project!

I think they people have understood the fact that moving away would be beneficial as there’s no hope of ‘Big Shots’ retrieval. It’s good to go out, before someone kicks you out!

Well, ‘Big Shots’ was unique show which gave those, a different taste, who’re fed up with the woman oriented shows. It gave a sweet explanation of male psyche. Hey! But … but, what happened with ‘Big Shots’ was very miserable and it went away just after 11 episodes. Initially, 13 episodes were planned to air, but they just summarized it after 11 episodes and two episodes were left unaired.

Hmm. You’ll never see ‘Big Shot’ once again, but yeah, you will see your favorite stars in future projects… and, t think it’d help to soothe yourself!

Wow!! My last post ‘Big Shots, Season 1 Part 1‘ got an incredible response from visitors and it encouraged me to write the second part of the post. So, I’m here to write about the remaining episodes. Last we left at ‘Car Trouble’ and now let’s begin with ‘Who’s Your Daddy‘. In this episode, we see that Duncan’s reputation comes into the way of a deal for Reveal so Duncan asks for Cameron’s help as he wants to look like a perfect dad. James tries very hard to fix up the things between his girlfriend and Katie. Brody’s father-in-law visits and no one seems happy to see him. Wendy tells Karl that she wants him to sleep with Marla so that they can have a kid and Karl has issues with her decision.

Next episode was entitled ‘The Way We Weren’t‘, Stacey decides to move to California and James puts all his attention toward a litigation when he comes to know about her decision. Karl’s old high school buddy wants to join Firmwood and he confronts him. Brody makes his mind to be a poet after he discovers hidden love poems written to Janelle by her old lovers. Then comes the episode entitled ‘The Better Man’, Lisbeth and Terrance are getting ready for their wedding. Duncan has brilliant business plans and he sets his attention to steal a super model from his competitor’s company.

On ‘Sex be not Proud‘, James and Katie disagree about their relationship when James wants to announce publicly about their relationship and she doesn’t want him to do that. Brody finds it difficult to decide what he should choose between the two options available. Someone dies on this episode. Season finale ‘Who’s the Boss’ was aired on January 24, 2008. Last episode’s death secret gets solved here and we come to know that Terrance had died. After his death Lisbeth becomes the Chairperson of Reveal. Terrance’s sister appears and it results in troubles for Lisbeth. Wendy comes to know about Karl and Marla’s affair and Marla’s pregnancy as well. Brody has a brand new pad and he doesn’t want Janelle to find about it.

Finally, Series is over and we can’t hope for any more episodes… well, if you wanna see Season 1 episodes, here’s the link.

Though the series has been called cancelled, this is not what the fans of the series wanted. If you listen to them, they still want the show back and they love it completely. They are of the view that the series was a break from all those women oriented shows and that it was good to see men in action. After all something that focuses on the psyche of men. Some have even gone ahead in calling it “desperate husbands”. Men like it as probably this could be the first one discussing their sex life. A fan has put it this way “Men. We are the new woman”. Well what more could be asked for???? The viewers, for whom the show was made, completely loved it and want more of it.

On the one hand the show was loved by its viewers and on the other hand it had to undergo the harsh comments of the critics. The critics were not all impressed with the series, and took it as a complete copy of a few already running shows. The show never received any positive comment from the critics. “People” magazine called the show one of several, “Sex and City” clones and the characters “entourage-wannabes”. USA today said “The problem with “Big Shots” is that the men don’t sound like anyone at all, male or female.”
