Whew!!!!!!!

New season sure started off with a "Heavy"!!!!!! Had to watch it twice. They are getting serious this season, if the season opener is any indication.

Saving Grace was also tonight and that was another "heavy."

Season turning out really good so far. Did he sign divorce papers though? I wasn't sure if it was separation or divorce?

[laurie6781]

Yes, they were divorce papers.

The Cleaner: A&E Series Cancelled; No Season Three for Benjamin Bratt



The CleanerA&E has decided to get rid of another original drama series. After two years on the air, they’re dropping The Cleaner.

In The Cleaner, Benjamin Bratt plays William Banks, a recovering drug addict from Los Angeles. Following the birth of his daughter, Banks made a deal with God that he would end his drug use and help others beat their addictions as well. He and his team of recovering addicts use whatever means necessary to help end others’ addictions. Others in the cast include Grace Park, Esteban Powell, Kevin Michael Richardson, Amy Price-Francis, Liliana Mumy, and Brett DelBuono.

The drama kicked off on July 15, 2008 and attracted 2.58 million viewers with a 1.0 rating in the 18-49 demo. Season one averaged 1.1 million viewers in initial viewings and 4.2 million through multiple airings. A&E boasted that The Cleaner was the network’s highest rated original drama to date among adults 18-49 and 25-54.

When the show was renewed for a second season, Bob DeBitetto, A&E’s President and General Manager, said, “The Cleaner has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal audience in its first season… Its authentic, dramatic storytelling combined with superb acting, led by an exceptional performance by Benjamin Bratt, has struck a chord with A&E viewers. It is exactly the sort of high quality, engaging programming that our fans have come to expect.”

Now, following a drop in ratings for season two, A&E has changed its mind about The Cleaner. The second round of episodes concluded on September 15th and, according to THR, the cable channel has decided not to order a third.

No reason was given for the cancellation but A&E typically draws more viewers for cheaper, unscripted programming. The Beast, another A&E drama, was cancelled earlier this year, months prior to star Patrick Swayze’s death.

What do you think? Are you sorry to see The Cleaner go? Was the show any less compelling or watchable in season two?

Shouldn't went SAG!!
Go Figure.....

Son of a Biotch!!!!!!

It was BETTER in season 2 than in season one.

Maybe another cable channel will pick it up. After all, TNT, has that new series, that just finished, with the guy from The Practice, that is so similar to the one Patrick Swayze was in it is ridiculous. Same plot, only more players.

Now this really PISSES ME OFF!!!!!

Damn, damn, damn.

Miss Done, The Cleaner is MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SHOW! Damn I loved every episode

[Hope4life]

I loved watching the show.
I was so disappointed when it was canceled!
It was really good this past season. I was surprised when I read that it was canceled.

[Done-With-It!]

They just cancelled 8 shows.
The said a lot of them were too "Dark".
They kept a lot of them like Gossip Girl, 90210, Cougar Town, etc. lol, Go Figure...

A lot of people were really surprised by the choices.

[laurie6781]

Oh well, just less TV that I watch, or more Discovery, National Geographic, and History Channel and the likes.

I guess anything thing that is 'real' and no I don't mean those stupid 'reality shows' is 'too dark.' Well DUH, HP forbid people be allowed to watch 'real' and see what does happen when drugs and alcohol are over indulged in.

SHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH.

I wish they would take their heads out of their butts.

I think I'm going to go read "The Rise and Fall of The Roman Empire" again and I'll follow that with "The Rise and Fall of The Third Reich," again. History seems to be repeating itself.
