Poor ratings threaten "Life" as we know it

Life has to go on! it's one of the coolest shows on tv. like you said, smarter, better than many of these other shows that have viewers galore. damn.... :(

Life is probably my favorite show out there right now. How can this be? How can an great show like this be in trouble when Law & Order is still on with boring dialogue and stories we've seen before? It's not right.

"There is homophobia in every corner and pocket of this world, but at the core ... you just love someone and want to make mixedtapes for them" -Sara Quin

They really need to put a nelson ratings box  in every tv set. This way they will know for sure what we are watching. Instead of letting a few select people rate the shows that they watch. 

"Life" this season has minimalized the female hot tough cops' roles on the show. Sure, Shahi still looks hot, but that's not good enough. She has to tase swimming pools with her partner in it, too.

What of the future of Lt. Karen Hot-and-Kinda-Butch? She appeared in the last episode, at least, but again it was the male character that saved the day, and the female that only got to sneer.

I love this show, I too got into it by watching it online this summer after I broke my foot. It really is a great show, and I've been watching it on the NBC website, at least that way it'll actually matter if I watch it, and besides, I have no tv.

ps Sarah  Shahi is amazing

Isn't it sad that less interesting shows always get better ratings? And isn't it even sadder that not even Sarah Shahi (who looks so insanely hot as Dani Reese, I might add) can help that? Unfortch there's not a lot us Europeans can do about it but trust me, I will pray every night for the continuation of this show... (and not only because Sarah Shahi's stomach in Life is about the sexiest thing I've ever seen on TV.)

Geez! I can't believe I just typed that, but it is true. Thanks to Sarah Warn I have latched onto another well done TV show ;) I do think it is in a class by itself. Solid writing and great acting has me coming back for more. Plus, Sarah Shahi is easy on the eyes. Oh, those tank tops, aviators, etc.... Anyhoo, everyone needs to jump on the Life train!! Woot, Woot!!

PS Yay, Maeve! I can't wait.

i act dont know what to think, but maybe if sarah doesnt need to work for this show (life)  maybe she'll come back for the l word. but i do think that life is act a great show  but not as good as tlw. ..

Say it ain't so!

I love this show and have recently become addicted to it. When I first saw the preview for season 1 I thought it was going to be lame and didn't bother watching it. Plus I didn't think that Sarah shahi's character could be any hotter then when she played Carmen de la pica morales. Well, it's true no other role will compare to that of te L owrd but I just watched season 1 online last month and absolutely love this show! I hate that it's on fridays but love that you can watch it online. Spead the word! Save the show!

I love this show!!

Please pump up the ratings!!

There's a share of blame to go around for any slide in Life's ratings--certainly the writers' strike played a role, but also NBC's interest in running additional seasons of American Gladiators rather than rerun the first season of this great show and the decision to change its timeslot. This is a great show and you put it on Friday? You're just asking for lackluster ratings. 

I will say, though...if Shahi's character ends up sleeping with her new boss, I think the show will lose one more viewer. I can understand the allure of Tony Soprano, but that guy? Don't even go there.

I like Life, but I don't really think it's that good.

I certainly do not think it is much better than other shows like CSI.

I blog, therefore, I am

You had me at first with all the great arguments til you started dissin' my favorite shows. Not hot! I totally love CSI (now for three episodes when Sara's back) and Criminal Minds is my biggest obsession after Grey's Anatomy (of course).

I'd watch the show to see if I liked it IF THEY JUST COULD AIR ALLTHE GOOD SHOWS OVER HERE!

I've never seen this show, but will definitely check it out now.

Here in Oz it seems to be rating fairly well (it doesn't hurt that it's shown straight after House I guess) and I love this show. I hope it doesn't go the same way as Arrested Development, which apparently just got the run around too many times and whichever American network it was on dropped it, even though the ratings here were HUGE.

Sarah Shahi is hot. Very. And Damian Lewis is pulling off Crews so nicely at the moment... My one beef with the new season is that Chuck the Paramedic from ER is their boss now? I honestly think Reese is gonna deck him coz he's a deadset sleazebag. 

~Can't everything be like before when it overcomes me?~

...of Sarah was also the reason for my initially watching this show. But I love the show regardless of her presence. I actually think she is a more than competant actress and not just a hot specimen of the female of the species.

It just really irks me that the networks pull out all the stops for the Heroes, Grey's and realities of the world (not to belittle Heroes and Grey's. I like both shows.) and yet  shows like this and American Dreams are treated like afterthoughts. I realize America's viewing habits have evolved with DVR's and Internet viewings but the summer was a perfect time to replay S1 even if it was on USA.

As far as NBC airing Life on Mondays this season, they were keeping the spot warm for Christian Slater's show and at the same time exposing Life during the week b/c they KNOW Fridays are a death sentence for most shows. But even here they dropped the ball by not doing mad pub for it. It just makes me feel that the suits don't really care. I know PR costs money but you have to try to make a critically acclaimed show with passionate viewers, a success.   I just hope we can get 13 episodes out of this year so we can have a dvd set.

It would also be nice for  television producers and the suits at NBC to realize the find they have in Sarah Shahi. She is a draw for those who appreciate a sexy woman. Hopefully this will be her biggest break in the biz.

I Love Life!!!!  

i onli started watching this show like two weeks ago 

wait this cant happened im so hooked on this show now

Sarah Shahi is HAWT!!!!!!!!

I LOVE LIFE

Initially, I was gonna watch this show anyway, but seeing Shahi as part of the cast was a definite plus. Something about her with a gun, a badge, and a kick ass attitude.......

SS is great, but the women who play Crews' ex-wife and the lawyer are also a treat (two treats). So that's 3 and good things come in three's.....like Neopolitan Ice Cream.

Why, NBC? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

I hope Life keeps going. I started watching because of Shahi too but then, I love the brother-sister kinda relationship between Shahi's character and D. Lewis' character.

 the dialogue's well written. and right, Shahi...hellloooo! 

I hope it stays!!

NBC killed this show, not the writers strike. They were so focused on Heroes and their new shows (new Christian Slater and the awful new Knight Rider) that they never advertised Life. A crap campaign plus a death sentence time slot will kill any show.

Plus, NBC should know that Friday at 10 is BATTLESTAR GALACTICA hour! [...not that it's on right now. But it will be!]

Tonight NBC is airing the 2 hour premiere of Crusoe. It got an excellent review in the NY Daily News...4 stars. If this show is a "hit" then as a lead in to Life it could be a thumbs up for more Life.

Watching Crusoe now. Hope I like it.
