ALLY McBEAL Slides Off The Bubble!!
“Ally McBeal” is gone, cancelled, a half-decade memory of a soured relationship.
Two funny seasons were followed by three not-so-funny ones. And Christina Ricci and Matthew Perry could not keep Monday’s episode from pulling in the show’s lowest 18-49 demo ever.
Creator David E. Kelley hasn't yet penned the series finale, which airs May 20
Could this be good news for “Dark Angel”?

I'm so incredibly happy I'm going to go eat a celebratory cake. And then I'm going to barf it back up.
-
Me so horny, me frist you long time. I stopped watching McBeal about the end of season two, glad to hear I didn't miss much.
-
After not really watching the show for 2 years (after Billy's becoming annoying and dying), I recently started watching some new episodes in the last 2 months or so. While undoubtedly a sign of desperation, I really felt the addition of Ally's daughter worked wonderfully. She's such a cute kid and really added to the dynamic of the show (unlike so many other new characters). I've also felt Jon Bon Jovi has been pretty damn good in the show. His character is a nice change of pace for Ally and the audience. Still, it's not easy making up for at least 2 years of dreck in a few weeks. I'll be sad to see the show go, though. It was once one of the funniest on TV. Ally's had a great ride, and she will be missed. Hope Flockhart still stays visible. Say what you will about the weight, but she's a gorgeous woman and a great actress.
-
Well, I have to say that this can only be a good thing. Even David Kelly said that Ally wouldn't have much of a shelf-life. This show lost its relevance somewhere after season 2.... probably when Billy went through his hair-dying crisis and finally dropped dead. I mean they never even tried to explain the disappearence of Renee, John Cage (the only interesting character) took off, and then they dropped this daughter off on Ally -- "BTW, you know when you donated your eggs for this fucked up experiment? Well a funny thing happened..." I don't know if Kelly simply had too much on his plate or if he simply didn't care anymore, but this show did a long time ago. 'Nuff said.
-
Now I have a reason to go out and party Friday night. I could never see why people made much ado about this boring and bloated Mary Tyler Moore retread. Me thinks it was probably the dancing CGI baby (fuckin' fad sucked).
-
that quit watching this show after Billy went insane. Man, went this show went bad, it went really bad. Still, the first two season were quite entertaining. I'll just pretend that this show went off the air after Billy died. Hey, it worked for the X-Files (which went off the air after the movie, as far as I am concerned.)
-
I hear ya. American Embassy has to be one of the best new shows I've seen in a long time (and I watch a LOT of tv). What a huge FUBAR situation to cancel American Embassy, and then go and cancel Ally!! They need to bring American Embassy back, that's all there is to it.
-
David E. Kelley decided to pull the plug on it before it was cancelled.
According to Variety, Kelley was not given the firm promise of another full season order, so he decided to pull the plug on his own terms, a decision that he made to cast and crew at 6pm pacific time...
Not that I care, because once Renee left, that lovely black queen that she was, the show wasn't worth watching, but I figure that this site should get their facts straight... -
Hmmm...could it be the return of "Angel" helped kill the numbers for the night. Nah...that can't be it. But then again....-----later-----m
-
Not that I ever watched it.....Still though, I won't have to look at annoying promos that try to make it seem wacky, innovative, and offbeat....and THAT is a good thing.
-
The series finale airs in 4 weeks and it hasn't even been WRITTEN yet? Shit! How quickly do people work on spitting out these shows? The episode has to be written, then the cast has to be given time to memorize and rehearse, then it's on to production and post and ADR and.... I guess it could be done in under a month if you worked 20 hour days with no days off! These episodes must air literally within 24 hours of completion of post! (Not that I give a damn about Ally McBeal, which has never appealed to me.)
-
It's a shame the only things that made this show any good left along time ago.
-
I think with all of these Fox shows getting dumped, Fox is going to have to make a ton of new shows next season. Haha it almost seems like there's only one or two shows returning. Meanwhile, a friend of mine spoke with the wife of the Fox exec in charge of their scheduling. My friend expressed his anger toward them cancelling Family Guy and Undeclared, and she said that her husband and son were disappointed about that too, but that her husband unfortunately couldn't do anything about it.
-
Undeclared, CHECK DEAD! Ally McBLT, CHECK DEAD! Hey Roswell is dead too...I'm three for three! I'm on fire, my campaigns are hitting like crazy! I might be able to kill off Dark Angel if I really try. Sorry Alba baby but I just realized, you may look good but your acting is somewhere between Spears singing and Pauly Shore on the GET LOST scale. What other shows shall I campaign against next year? BABY BOB, DIE DIE DIE! I shall stop you Bob, I STOPPED UNDECLARED SO I KNOW I CAN STOP YOU! Off to start my campaigns for next season.
-
The best thing about that whole series was John "The Biscuit" Cage. He was the soul of the show. I really think he should have his own show.
John Cage didn't follow the crowd.. he was deep, caring, qwerky, funny and there was little bit of all of us in him..
What do you think? -
Hi there.
I'm a big fan. I've been watching the show since the very beginning, and have every episode on tape from their original broadcast. I've stuck through Ally in the bad times, and through the good, and it's really sad that it's been cancelled. Farewell Ally, Richard, Elaine and John Cage, my tv counterpart.
Have a good day then,
John Cage

Ally: Another casualty of Kelley's attention deficit disorde
by triumph the dog
Kelley has always had this annoying habit of: launching a successful, highly erudite and watchable series, seeing it become successful, getting offers to produce other shows, taking all those offers, spreading himself too thin, letting all the shows turn to crap with non-sequiter plots, stunt guest stars and "wacky" ideas, and then getting the shows canceled. A similar thing happened in the early 90s with Picket Fences, Chicago Hope, etc. Now its happening with the Practice, Ally, and Boston Public.

by wardog
I'd heard about so many of the actors jumping ship, but then THAT didn't happen. (lying SOBs, or maybe they're just wishy-washy) Maybe they should have deserted, then they would have tanked in the ratings and cancelled the show mid-season and saved everybody a lot of money and wasted effort. I never really hated the series, it was just time for me to move on and this was one in several series I stopped watching. Oh yeah, Dark Angel was one of those, too, even as it was starting to get complex and kinda interesting. Oh well... ****** At least for Calista, she won't have to worry about a gig. She'll soon be cast in Indy 4 as a rival for Jones' affections with Willie (played by da wife of da director--duh!) Whatshername.
-
You know, David E. Kelly himself said that Ally was a five year show, that it wouldn't go further than that. In fact he was wrong. This show has been dead for a while now. It's acted like it was still breathing, but the formula's been echoing since season 3--which also stunk up the place with that brain tumor plot, proving once again that nothing's says entertainment like a fatal ailment. Actually, why do I still care to even talkback? This show is such a "has been" pop culture icon, it might as well be called flash dance!
-
Dude, why the anger? You're so....bitter! Between raging on Affleck (which was funny as hell, IMHO) and this, I think you need to find your happy place! // e.

Ohh Larry.. where did you go? You have left and Ally is done.
by pr_gmr
Just heard about Ally Mcbeal's cancellation. I have to admit I watched the show regularly, and at one time it was even a good show.. funny and all. But the show took a nosedive this season.. and I mean.. plane flying straight into the ground. After Robert Downey Jr was fired last season, David Kelley couldn't figure out what to do with the show. Bad casting decisions were made (ally's shrink wasn't half as funny as her previous previous ones.. ohh Tracey Ullman where did you go?... and what wast the name of that annoying girl who paired off with James Marsden's character.. and they were both let go.. and then.. Dame Edna as a freakish well-meaning old drag queen!!!!??)
Then, more bad casting decisions by letting Peter Mcnicol (John Cage) and Lucy Liu (Ling) go missing in action for episodes at a time.. and poor Portia De Rosi (Nell)--the writers gave her nothing to do this season. Giving Ally a daughter was a desperate move that didn't work.. it changed the tone of the show for the worst.. Ally the hopeless romantic was changed into Ally the haggard single mom--bad move. And what about Jon Bon Jovi. He and Ally generated ZERO chemistry onscreen.. Zilch.. Nada. Dead in the water. The last season of Ally Mcbeal is a perfect example of how good shows can go terribly bad. Another example--consider this last season of the X-Files. Fox might as well call themselves the New Fox.. because although they kept the Simpsons, they've lost their other two leading shows in one season. OUCH. Sayonara, Ally. -
They cancelled this god-awful dirge that preported to be 'comedy'. Maybe Flockhart can get some food stamps and put on a few pounds?
-
The show became too samey. That's its problem. Whichever new characters they introduced would still be written in the same style, which grated after a while. Isn't Callista Flockhart going out with Harrison Ford anyhow? (What's he doing there? Flossing his teeth!?) She's got no financial worries now.
-
Are you sugesting that it's actually a better show that deserves to stay on? You might as well wish for Harsh Realm to be resurected and put in a good time slot. The show would still suck.
-
While I haven't watched Ally since the pilot, I always thought it was doing fairly well. Apparently not. So now FOX is losing X-Files, and Ally, 2 of it's 3 most popular dramas( 3rd being "24"). So what are they left with as ratings drawers? The Simpsons (which is running low on laughs lately I hate to admit), and the other sitcoms. That 80's Show is surprisingly good, and Bernie Mac, Titus, 70's Show, Malcolm and Grounded are always entertaining. As for the new stuff, Greg the Bunny is hit or miss but can be really funny, Andy Richter is way over-hyped. Boston Public is in a crisis-of-the-week pattern and went downhill quickly after the first season and Dark Angel...well, is anyone watching that anymore?
-
Although I havent seen it in a good year. It was still better than most Fox crap. If this goes they better lose all the other useless shit too. GROUNDED FOR LIFE get the fuck outta here. TIDUS still using the same damn concept as it was 2 years ago (and it wasn't really that funny too). I'm sure they must've had their reasons but this is one that I can't say I was expecting to come out on this side of the bubble. (I'm not even going to day anything about Family Guy... ARGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
-
Wow Ally cancelled, did not see that one comming. You know with all the stunt guest stars, lesbian liplocks, characters breaking into song, silly deaths, and cast departures I really did not see it happening.
Calista with her wonderfully emaciated body, how come every guy on the show got it on with this tooth pick? If it's a choice between Lucy Liu or Calista, guys who'd you try to get at?
The show sucked and if FOX wanted a wacky one hour comedy they might as well brought back the WB's Popular. At least Mary Cherry would be back on TV again. -
I'm not surprised at all the
huzzahs. The show blew starting
in season 3. I'm sure somehow it
was all Michelle Pfeiffer's fault,
that bitch. -
Between her stick figure looks, dour personality and halluncinations, Allie was the least appealing female on the show. You had curvy sex kittens Elaine and Renee, beautiful, down to earth Georgia, devastatingly beautiful Lucy Liu, and even (depending on the season) bitchy but trying to reform Nell. Anyone of 'em was a better catch than Allie. In fact, if Allie ever DID find a man and have kids, given her hallucinations and periodic fits of rage, she would have probably drowned the kids in the bathtub Andrea Yates style.

Ally McBeal has some of the lamest roles for women on TV
by ralph cifaretto
Not quite as lame as the childish imps on "24," but think of ER, 6 Ft. Under, Sopranos, & West Wing and you can see how totally annoying, stupid & useless the women on Ally McBeal really are.
-
it was over i thought when billy died..that's when i stopped watching and that's my opinion.
-
Like, wouldn't it rule if Fox put Futurama and Undeclared into Alley's monday night timeslot? And wouldn't it mega-rule if that Haverchuck guy from Freaks and Geeks was made a regular on Undeclared? And would it hella-rule if Haverchuck was made a regular on Futurama? And wouldn't it totally rock if Haverchuck was on the final episode of Alley McBeal and it was a crossover into his appearance on Undeclared? Then, as a coup de gras, all the Undeclared guys would appear on That 80's Show and kill everyone? And James Cameron could direct the whole thing! What do all think? GregZero
-
Rachel Dratch! Rachel Dratch!
-
Calista flockheart was just eye candy. Peter McNicol WAS the show, and they replaced him with Jon Bon Jovi and the ulgiest, most obnoxious drag queen to ever walk the earth. And then they wonder why people stopped watching. Give the biscuit his own show with Christina Ricci on HBO so we can see some skin!
-
Since the start of this season, you could see the signs.
Bringing in that annoying younger "Ally" Juliet Nicholson (that's her name, right?) for Ally to "mentor". I guess the thinking was that since Flockhart could no longer sell herself as a 20-something... bring in her exact, younger duplicate. Ally's new child. Can you say "jump the shark"?
Clearly "Boston Public" and "The Practice" is where Kelly found his muse. "Ally McBeal" was on fumes. Like the Biscuit (who, I've always believed, functioned as Kelly's surrogate viewpoint throughout the show), Kelly grew bored with the "Allyverse" and focused his time on other things.
It was time for Ally to go. Which does not mean we can't get a "Cage & Fish" spin-off? Come on, who wouldn't love that?
-
This show's cancellation has been a long time coming. I was drawn in by the first two season's, but after the death of Billy, i just lost interest. That and the fact that the introduction of all the new characters, showed no sign of going anywhere but down anyway. It's actualy a bad thing for fox because it's latest lineup of shows is realy a downer. Bernie mac is cool, Simpsons...well it's getting stale. Malcom in the middle, still got some spunk. actually.....that's about it! that network needs some serious program boosting. What are the bopes of a spinof show called "Fisch and the Biscuit"? huh? huh? anyone? *hears only the sounds of crickets*
-
It was SUPPOSED to be an adult version of "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" and turned into another godamn trainwreck full of recovering addicts and shock-monger horseshit storylines. If it wasnt Twiggy-ish Flockhart spreading for every guy that slimed along, she was getting anal over some increadibly stupid and minor plot complication. Don't get me started on that whole 'Dancing Baby' bullshit. The only good thing to come from that was when Millenium (one of my favorite shows of all time, not including that 3rd season) made fun of all of Fox's major programing in one show.. was a godamn riot I tell ya!
-
The hypocrisy that some people show. I mean, the complaint about Calista Flockhart is that she's so thin, and she plays a sex symbol. Well, isn't it just as bad to hound a girl for being naturally scrawny? There are plenty of women out there who are a bit thin or bird-like through no fault of their own. We should accept women in the shape they naturally come in, and not expect them to be anything else than they are.
-
And when she left the show to pursue "better" things, so did I.
-
Never clever... Never funny... Never again. David Kelley is a loser.

I'm sure no one is sad to see a Frist post go away but I'm just curious as to where it went. What did I do wrong Harry?

by munchinsonton
You can't deny the great, jubbly goodness of Christina Ricci. Mmmm....M!
-
The show completely misrepresents the legal profession.
-
...she looks like a concentration camp victim...
-
...the recent two hour ep with perry and ricci was pretty damned funny. One of the best episodes in a long time. It's too bad the audiences had already ran away by then. They missed out. I actually will be sad to see Ally go -- as others had said, despite imperfections and serious blunders, it was at least in the upper 50%, not the lower 50%, of television today. Now Fox has lost their most Emmy-award winning series. Too bad. (although, maybe now David E. will have time to write better episodes of The Practice!)
-
I watched the first season off and on, and didn't like it. Remember when they had Alley Mcbeal parties? Dear god!!! Anyhoo, I'm glad they killed it, cause it was just a whiney show for middle aged women that basically put me to sleep.
-
A mercy killing but at least it has not lasted as long as "Married with Children" or "Friends". 20th Century FOX just signed Marti Noxon to a development deal despite the fact that she is ruining "Buffy", what FOX needs to do is let David Greenwalt resurrect the wonderful and short-lived "Profit".
-
it could be a blessing in disguise. now, calista can gain the weight she shed off after the first season. she can be cute again.
-
One thing though -- there's been all this talk about it being 43rd in the ratings and how far its fallen. But wait.. isn't 43rd still a LOT higher than a lot of TRULY awful low-rated shows that Fox has decided to keep?? I'll never understand executive logic. :(
-
Actually, maybe the shark ate the motorcycle and used Callista like a toothpick.
-
(not dissing here, just 'splainin). if some stupid little shows with no-name actors and first-time writers are not doing so great in the ratings but cost next to nothing to produce, a network is more likely to keep it than a mamooth of a show with prima donnas exec producers and milionnaire stars. it's called economics, and hollywood just loves it.
-
Yes, it seems the show was very bad. Never saw McBeal myself. But Calista Flockheart (sp?) is hot. Dis her if you must, but that much will remain true. Well, until time has its dastardly way as it will.
-
How is it that Ally was considered atractive by any male at any time. Calista flockhart is skinny to the point of being sickly. She has the build of a 12 year old boy. I have tried to watch this show over the years due to the fact I was told that it had good story. I never got more that 15 minuts into a episode without turning it off due to the fact Calista Flockhart is so freakishly thin that I found it disturbing to watch her. Any actor who had to play a romantic lead with her should recieve a special Emmy award, acting like she is atactive is above and beyond the call of duty.
-
...was cuter in "The Birdcage". :) But actually arkhan77 pointed out something I wasn't considering -- cost. You're right, Ally probably costs waaaaay more to produce than lower-rated first-season shows. But then again, Undeclared's ratings weren't horrible, and it was critically loved, and I can't imagine any of those actors had more than a pittance salary, so what was the economic justification for cancelling that? :(
-
that this show lasted as long as it did! With all the recycled plot lines from LA Law and Picket Fences, people should have started seeing through it a long time ago! Not to mention how TOTALLY ANNOYING Calista Flockhart is with her stuttering and twitching, which I think is supposed to be endearing, but really just bugs the crap out of me!! When Billy left, it was all downhill from there...

IN THE END IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER
-
What about people being happy the show is cancelled? They suck... There are many TV shows I am not interested in and you know what? I don't care about them!! It's not like there's only one channel to watch, I just SWITCH TO SOMETHING I LIKE or turn the TV off to read a book. It's bullshit to cheer about cancellation of Ally or any other TV show. If you think Calista is too thin, then O.K. That's her life and she should decide for herself what she wants to look like!
-
I respectfully disagree that one is sick for expressing joy over the cancellation of a show that is, in one's opinion, bad. There are a number of reasons why one can legitimately be happy over a show's cancellation. One: the show was of poor quality and its continued presence both diminished the medium; Two: Cancellation frees up a potential time slot for a better program; Three: The program was once good, and allowing it to remain on as a shadow of its former self took away from the perceived quality of the initial seasons (which can actually damage a show's potential for being re-run, syndicated, etc.); Four: The program presented damaging messages on a mass medium and, while the first amendment allowed--and should allow--said messages to be broadcast, cancellation due to ratings indicates a possible public rejection of said messages in the marketplace of ideas. ***There are probably other legitimate reasons, but, hopefully, the point has been made.
-
What a blight on the ass of the ol'coaxial that festering pile was. I liked it better the first time when it was called "Parker Lewis: Can't Lose".
-
Two things killed this show: 1.) The departure of Billy and the revolving door on the cast and 2.) The sudden departure of Robert Downey, Jr. (Because of real life occurrences.)
The way that was written in the show was complete BS, though.
Ally had really evolved as a character and was learning much through her relationship with his character. He was a loss. -
Calista really has a health problem. When reports come out from the set that she faints on a regular basis...c'mon, get real here!
It really was unrealistic because just about every other woman had some meat on them, looked healthy, and were just damned hot.
Calista would be pretty if she would take better care of herself. I wonder if her friends and family keep an eye on her and realize what a time bomb they might have on their hands.
People with eating disorders, especially over a long period of time, know how to be very sneaky and crafty. Amazing lengths will be taken just to cover it up. Lying is way too easy.
Calista is talented and can have a bright future...if she lets herself. -
Why was this show ever popular?
-
Ok
Enough of this. It wasn't just Downey leaving. Though sadly that was probably the biggest factor. I mean it showed how good the show could be, and then shot itself in the foot by not having him readily detoxed.
But look at the other evidence even the great actors who made up the supporting cast became...well a supporting cast! Characters were brought in with a fanfare only to have their characterisations messed around with, to the point they may of just been card board cut outs, with techies doing the voices!
I mean! C'mon the judge got better lines than anyone in the office. And come to think of it why did this Sydney Potier wannabe garner so much screen time. Seriously did Kelly really think we'd believe there's only one Judge in the whole of Boston? -
OK for one I love this show. I think its a good blend of slapstick, drama, and romance. I thought everything was going really well too so the cancellation came to me as a BIG SURPRISE! Lemme tell you why I'm so sad to see this wonderful show go off the air. I love the chemistry between Aly and her daughter, I love Dame Edna aka Barry Humpries aka Claire Otoms, next I dont like Bon Jovi's character, Victor, and think he needs to go away and let Rober Downey Jr take his place back. Next is John Cage who is simply hilarious, quirky, yet intelligent. I love Cage and was seriously hoping to see something develop between him and Ricci's character. The show's quirkiness was totally awesome and inventive (like that siren in the 2 hour episode). I really AM going to miss this show and Im sad to see it go. I hope they dont fill it with that American Embassy shit because that stuff is lame . . .
-
I felt that this show was like that fucking dancing baby- A FAD!! As for me being sick, it's you (and some others) who are sick for following a fad like sheep to slaughter. This show was AN EGOTISTICAL AND OVERINFLATED MARY TYLER MOORE RIP-OFF that also set most of the women's movement back by, oh, 50 years or so. Besides, I celebrated when The Tick was canned (one of the few decent programming choices made by FOX, as opposed to many screw-ups, BTB).

Note to FOX, learn to cancel your shows before they go sour...
by cooper2000
When all the cast members start leaving like on X-files and Melrose place and 90210, it's time to end the show.
FOX doesnt seem to understand this.
Since they dont have any other shows in development, they keep paying the creators to keep cranking them out and then we get tired of them and they end on a bad note.
