"Sources at the network told the trade daily that they were fans of the show but that ratings did not warrant a second series."

It is a great show! I am shocked that it is being cancelled. I love the old Sopranos actors (I counted 3 in the short lived series) that played cops. Perhaps it was written too smart for the individual that is in love with bs "realty tv". I am going to miss it.

From what I have been led to believe, Upinya83 was significantly instrumental in the decision to cancel the show. It seems that he has turned over a new leaf and he and BBP may be opening a boutique in Mobile, AL sometime this spring.

Good luck, fellas!

I think it would work better as an HBO show instead.

You are 100% correct. Either HBO or F/X.

BE SURE TO CATCH THE SERIES FINALE TONIGHT.

Hopefully tonight, all the questions are answered.

me too... I remember that last episode was not the first time those little flying robots were shown... They've pretty much been around all season... I too am hoping tonight answers a lot of questions.

Also confused me when the detective told him he was from the "dream police"... could this be some kind of a 2009 time travel experiement?

the mars rover and annie being the stuardist from his childhood fantasy leads me to believe the entire show is one big acid trip
