Have to agree with Mewzilla here. Sure, the ratings were low, but if it had been doing CSI-style ratings and no advertisers had been stepping up, that would have been it.

Has it been doing CSI numbers, I don't think that the sponsors would have been so hesitant to buy time on it. As someone else pointed out, Heather Graham's sitcom was cancelled after one showing with no boycott in place.

If anything, I think that the boycott kept the show hanging on a couple of more weeks, since no one wanted to be seen to be caving.

You may be right.

You're probably right on this, too. I was speaking theoretically, but in the real world a big hit probably would have drawn more advertiser interest.

I saw an ad for the new Heather Graham sitcom on a bus. Just from that I could tell it would be cr@p.
