Just Shoot Me!: Difference between revisions

The show's seventh season saw several drastic changes. Series [[showrunner]]s Moses Port and David Guarascio left at the end of the sixth season to pursue a development deal with NBC, and were replaced with [[Jon Pollack]] and Judd Pillot and John Peaslee. Also noted as a big factor was the addition of [[Rena Sofer]] to the cast. Her addition was mandated by NBC, who had sought a successful vehicle for her for years.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}} At the same time, NBC also gave the show one of its most difficult timeslots, Tuesdays at 8 pm. Ratings fell sharply in the first few weeks, and the show was put on hiatus by November, showing only one new episode until the following April. During this time, production resumed, but Sofer's character was written out. By this point, NBC had canceled the show, and promised Levitan to run the remaining episodes twice a week until the series finale. When the first of such installments was not as successful as NBC had hoped with its "Return of ''Just Shoot Me!''" campaign, the show was again pulled, and new episodes were [[burned off]] in the summer, the final pair of episodes airing on a Saturday in August 2003. Three more episodes, including Sofer's farewell episode, were not aired in the United States until their respective slots in syndicated airings. Levitan publicly denounced NBC's treatment of a former [[Must-See TV]] show and refused production deals for several years.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}}
