They always cancel the best shows

My husband and I waited eagerly each week to watch "High Incident." We figured if Steven Spielberg was associated with it, then it had to be good. We were right. This was absolutely the best cop show we had seen up to that time. I can't believe the network canceled it without giving it a chance. We were bitterly disappointed. This show was way better than Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue and look how long they lasted. The characters were all believable and the story lines were well written. Many of the actors in this show were relatively unknown when it started and they have gone on to bigger and better things. If there were any way to get this show back on the air, we would be thrilled. I hope they will release all the episodes on DVD so we can watch them again. The network executives don't know jack when it comes to what's great and what is just mediocre and boring. They keep all those horrible shows on for years but cancel an excellent show like "High Incident." What a shame.
